Intended Use
The Headway Microcatheter is intended for general intravascular use, including the peripheral, coronary and neuro vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils.
Device Description
The Headway Microcatheter is a single lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire to access small, tortuous vasculature. The semi-rigid proximal section transitions to a flexible distal tip to facilitate advancement through vessels. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal end facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the Microcatheter is coated with a hydrophilic polymer to increase lubricity. A luer fitting on the Microcatheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a microcatheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The intended use states that the device is for the infusion of "therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils."

Yes

The device is intended for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, which are used to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, guidewire introduction, radiopaque markers, hydrophilic coating, and a luer fitting. This is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "general intravascular use... for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils." This describes a device used within the body for delivering substances or devices, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be introduced into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in-vivo (within the living organism) device, not an in-vitro (in glass, or outside the living organism) diagnostic.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD would typically involve analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The Headway Microcatheter is an invasive medical device used for delivering substances or other devices within the vascular system.

Dear Mr. Job:

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.
