Intended Use
The SUPERCATH 5 is intended to access a vein or artery and to administer fluids. The SUPERCATH 5 is designed for single use and for short-term use (less than 30 days), is designed to minimize inadvertent needlesticks and to reduce accidental needlesticks.
Device Description
The device is an intravascular catheter known by the trade name SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED). It is available in four models, with a check valve, with a side-notch needle, with a check valve and a side-notch needle, and without both a check valve and a notched needle. The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) is intended to access a vein or artery and to administer fluids. The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) is designed for single use and for short-term use (less than 30 days), is designed to minimize inadvertent needlesticks and to reduce accidental needlesticks. The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) catheter hub has a built-in check valve which together with the healthcare professional's finger pressure on the blood vessel, assists to reduce blood flashback when the metallic introducer needle is withdrawn following blood vessel puncture. The built-in check valve is not intended to stop bleeding completely. Pressing the button on the needle hub activates the coiled spring in the hub, retracting the metallic introducer needle into the needle hub. The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) introducer needle has a side-notch to provide rapid visual confirmation of vessel entry. When the introducer needle is inserted into the vein, blood flows inside of the catheter and returns down along the inside of the catheter tube. The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) is available in 14G, 18G, 20G, 20G, 22G and 24G.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical features (check valve, side-notch needle, retraction mechanism) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are bench tests and simulated clinical use evaluating mechanical function and safety features.

No
The device is used to access veins or arteries and administer fluids, which are procedures rather than therapeutic actions in themselves. It facilitates treatment but does not provide therapy.

No

The device is an intravascular catheter intended to access a vein or artery and administer fluids, not to diagnose a condition or disease. While it has a side-notch for visual confirmation of vessel entry, this is a functional feature for fluid administration, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical intravascular catheter with various hardware components (needle, hub, check valve, spring, etc.). There is no mention of software as a component of the device.

Based on the provided information, the SUPERCATH 5 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "access a vein or artery and to administer fluids." This describes a device used for direct patient intervention (accessing blood vessels and delivering substances), not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to obtain diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of a catheter for accessing blood vessels and administering fluids. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition.
    • Using reagents, calibrators, or controls for testing.

The SUPERCATH 5 is clearly described as a device for accessing the circulatory system for therapeutic purposes (administering fluids), which falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an IVD.

Table 1, Comparison of Factor/Comnonent

The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) has the same intended use and similar technological che Coriences as the "Insyte Autoguard™ IV Catheter" (K013800) and the "SUPERCATH 5" (K081953). Similar components and materials are used in the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) as in the "SUPERCATH 5" (K081953).

Risk Analysis i.

The SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) was evaluated in accordance with ISO14971:2007. The risk management of the device was deemed satisfactory. See Section 18 Risk Analysis.

k. Bench Testing

Bench tests were performed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED), verify conformity to the recognized standards and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device(s). All SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) samples were equivale with the ISO and USP standards and demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device(s).

Simulated Clinical Use l.

Shirdlated Chilital Coo In accordance while is a great go 2005, the sharp needle injury prevention feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953) was tested.

According to the risk analysis (See Section 18 Risk Analysis), the modifications to the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953), of 1) the additional gauge sizes of 14G and 16G and 2) the Sorthernitt > (18001953), or endle of the 22G and 24G, have no effect on the sharp needle Side-noten on the Introducer novel of the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED). Therefore, Togo Mediliti has included the exact same report submitted with the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953). (See Section 23 Performance Testing - Simulated Clinical Use.)

CONFIDENTIAL

The purpose of the investigation was to test if the sharp needle injury prevention feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953) worked properly under a simulated use clinical environment. As per recommendation under the "Guidance", eight (8) health care professional volunteers who routinely use this type of catheter in their clinical practice were recruited.

The primary evaluation parameter was to test if the metal introducer needle completely retracted into the plastic needle hub after firmly pressing the safety button. This mechanism is the sharp needle injury prevention feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953) (PREDICATE) and the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED).

No failures were observed in over 500 tests, under different test conditions and five (5) different catheter sizes of the SUPERCATH 5 (PREDICATE). Thus, the requirement of statistical significance of the safety feature was confirmed for the sharp needle injury prevention feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (PREDICATE).

Therefore, Togo Medikit believes that the same results apply to the identical safety feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED), since the modifications to the SUPERCATH 5 (K081953), of 1) the additional gauge sizes of 14G and 16G and 2) the side-notch on the introducer needle of the 22G and 24G, have no effect on the sharp needle injury prevention feature of the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) (See Section 18 Risk Analysis.)

m. Conclusion

Based on the above discussion and enclosed sections regarding substantial equivalence to predicate devices, Togo Medikit concludes that the SUPERCATH 5 (PROPOSED) is substantially equivalent to the "Insyte Autoguard" IV Catheter" (K013800) and the "SUPERCATH 5" (K081953) and does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
