Intended Use
The TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 is intended for transseptal catheterization of the left atrium via the femoral vein for the purpose of providing a means for temporary (six hours or less) left ventricular bypass when connected to the TandemHeart extracorporeal blood pump which returns blood to the patient via the femoral artery or other appropriate site.
Device Description
The TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 consists of three main components, a 21 Fr Transseptal Cannula, a 14 Fr Obturator, and a 14/21 Fr Two-stage Dilator which are intended for the drainage of the left atrium during left ventricular bypass.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (cannula set) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or analysis.

Yes
The device is described as "providing a means for temporary (six hours or less) left ventricular bypass" and is used in conjunction with "the TandemHeart extracorporeal blood pump." This direct intervention to support physiological function qualifies it as therapeutic.

No

The device is intended for temporary left ventricular bypass and drainage of the left atrium, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (cannula, obturator, dilator) and their intended use in a surgical procedure involving physical manipulation of the body. This is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for temporary left ventricular bypass. It involves accessing the left atrium via the femoral vein and returning blood to the patient via the femoral artery.
  • Device Description: The device components are cannulas and dilators designed for insertion into the body to facilitate blood flow.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples. This device is a surgical/interventional tool used directly on the patient.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A risk assessment was conducted to determine the impact of the changes and the appropriate testing to perform. Subsequently, testing of the TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 was completed to verify flow vs. pressure drop (HQ), suture ring performance, mechanical integrity of the radiopaque marker disc encapsulation, and hemolysis. The Transseptal Cannula-EF 72 HQ testing results indicated a flow performance after six hour use that was consistent with the longer length, and substantially equivalent to the predicate THTC-EF cannula. The results of hemolysis testing, radiopaque marker disc testing and suture ring testing demonstrated that the THTC-EF 72 cannula was substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate devices.

Intended Use

The TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 is intended for Transseptal catheterization of the left atrium via the femoral vein for the purpose of providing a means for temporary (six hours or less) left ventricular bypass when connected to the TandemHeart extracorporeal blood pump which returns blood to the patient via the femoral artery or other appropriate site.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 is identical in construction to the predicate Transseptal Cannula Set-EF, with the exception that it is 10 cm longer in length. The increase in length results in a slightly higher pressure drop in the cannula. The Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 also contains suture rings in a separate sterile pouch, which are manufactured from the same material used to make the suture wings in the predicate Transseptal Cannula Set-EF. These rings are identical to those in the predicate CardiacAssist Transseptal Cannula set that was cleared under K030398. The Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 also has encapsulated Radiopaque Marker discs at the cannula tip for clear visualization under fluoroscopy. These markers are identical to those utilized in the predicate BioMedicus Pediatric Femoral Venous Cannula that was cleared per K872033.

Performance Data

A risk assessment was conducted to determine the impact of the changes and the appropriate testing to perform. Subsequently, testing of the TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 was completed to verify flow vs. pressure drop (HQ), suture ring performance, mechanical integrity of the radiopaque marker disc encapsulation, and hemolysis. The Transseptal Cannula-EF 72 HQ testing results indicated a flow performance after six hour use that was consistent with the longer length, and substantially equivalent to the predicate THTC-EF cannula. The results of hemolysis testing, radiopaque marker disc testing and suture ring testing demonstrated that the THTC-EF 72 cannula was substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate devices.

Conclusions

The CardiacAssist TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 is substantially equivalent to the predicate CardiacAssist TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF in design characteristics, performance, materials, method of construction, and intended use. The suture rings of the CardiacAssist TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 are also substantially equivalent to the predicate CardiacAssist Transseptal Cannula Set. The Radiopaque Marker disks at the tip of the CardiacAssist TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula Set-EF 72 are substantially equivalent to those in the BioMedicus Pediatric Femoral Venous Cannula.

Dear Mr. Bollinger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as sct forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120.
