Intended Use
The Evalve Steerable Guide Catheter is used for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
Device Description
The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a Steerable Guide (Guide) and a Dilator provided EO sterile and for single-use only. The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, a Dilator with a single central lumen and an atraumatic distal tip. The central lumen of the Guide allows for aspiration of air and infusion of fluids such as saline, and serves as a conduit during introduction and or exchange of the Dilator and ancillary devices (e.g. catheters) that have a maximum diameter of .204". The atraumatic distal tip of the Steerable Guide Catheter is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy. The Dilator consists of a radiopaque shaft, an echogenic feature at the distal tip, a hemostasis valve with a flush port and an internal lumen designed to accept ancillary devices that have a maximum diameter of 0.035" (e.g. needles or guidewires). The Steerable Guide Catheter, Dilator and accessories are packaged in two sealed Tyvek pouches, and boxed in a shelf-cardboard carton.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a steerable guide catheter and dilator, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a guide catheter used for introducing other cardiovascular catheters, not for directly treating a condition.

No

This device is a steerable guide catheter used for introducing other cardiovascular catheters. It facilitates procedures but does not diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter shaft, handle, steering knob, valves, and a dilator. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and material properties, not software performance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for introducing cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical intervention.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter and dilator designed for insertion into the body.
  • 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.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples outside the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical/interventional tool.

Dear Ms. Velusamy:

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 Foond, Or v, 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
