Intended Use
The WILLOW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is intended to dilate stenoses in the illac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal, and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The ELM PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for use in Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of the femoral, iliac, and renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This catheter is not for use in coronary arteries.
Device Description
Both the WILLOW and ELM are co-axial PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters with a distal inflatable balloon. The lumen between the inner shaft is used for inflation of the balloon with contrast medium; the inner shaft lumen permits the use of a quide wire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. Two radiopaque marker bands indicate the dilating section of the balloon and aid in the balloon placement. The marker bands also indicate the nominal length of the balloon. The catheter tip is designed to ease entry into the peripheral arteries and to facilitate the crossing of tight stenoses. The following materials are used in the WILLOW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter: Nylon 11, Polyethylene, Polycarbonate, and 90% Platinum/10% Iridium. The following materials are used in the ELM PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter: Nylon 11, Pebax, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, and 90% Platinum/10% Iridium. All materials in both devices were tested per ISO 10993-1 and determined to be biocompatible.

No
The device description and performance testing focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a balloon catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is specifically designed to dilate stenoses in various arteries and treat obstructive lesions, which are direct therapeutic actions.

No
This device is a therapeutic device used to dilate stenoses, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, balloon, lumen, inner shaft, guide wire, and radiopaque marker bands, all made of specific materials. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and testing of these hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The WILLOW and ELM PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters are physical devices used inside the body to mechanically dilate blood vessels. They do not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's arteries and fistulae.

The description focuses on the physical characteristics, materials, and performance of the catheter itself, not on analyzing biological samples.

6. Substantial Equivalence

This Premarket Notification aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the WILLOW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter through comparison with the predicate device - the Invatec AMPHIRION DEEP. The substantial equivalence discussion is demonstrated for the intended use of the WILLOW. Where substantial equivalence is not directly demonstrated from the perspective of technology and performance, design verification testing provides evidence of the substantial equivalance of the WILLOW.

The WILLOW has the same technological characteristics as the AMPHIRION DEEP predicate device in that they are both co-axial catheters with a distal, inflatable balloon. They have similar design, however, the exact specifications of the WILLOW and the AMPHIRION DEEP differ in certain aspects. The differences include a longer inflated balloon length for the WILLOW, higher rated burst pressure for the WILLOW, lower nominal pressure for the WILLOW, different strain relief between the WILLOW and the predicate in terms of design and materials, and different marker bands in terms of materials. In each case that there was a difference between the WILLOW and the predicate device, design verification testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence. In all cases, performance testing demonstrated that the device performed as intended and in compliance with relevant consensus standards.

The Premarket Notification also aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the ELM PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter through comparison with the predicate device - the Bard Vaccess™. Substantial equivalence is demonstrated for the intended use of the ELM device. Where substantial equivalence is not directly demonstrated from the perspective of technology and performance, design verification testing provides evidence of the substantial equivalance of the ELM device.

The ELM device has the same technological characteristics as the Vaccess predicate device in that they are both co-axial lumen catheters with a distal, inflatable balloon. They have similar design, however, the exact specifications of ELM and the Vaccess devices differ in certain aspects. The differences include different strain relief, inner shaft and balloon design between the ELM and the predicate in terms of design and materials. different marker bands in terms of materials, different sheath break sizes compared to the predicate, higher rated burst pressure for the ELM across the product matrix compared with the predicate, higher nominal pressure for the ELM, smaller inflated balloon diameter for the ELM, and the usable catheter length varies slightly compared to the predicate device. In each case that there was a difference between the ELM and the predicate device, design verification testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence. In all cases, performance testing demonstrated that the device performed as intended and in compliance with relevant consensus standards.

7. Performance Data

The safety and effectiveness of the WILLOW and ELM PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters has been demonstrated through data collected from non-clinical design verification/ validation tests and analyses.

Performance testing included generation of compliance data relating balloon diameter to applied pressure to vessel size, sterilization, and validation of shelf life. Additionally, the following verification/validation testing was performed: rated burst pressure, multiple inflation/fatigue and leak tight, balloon lengths and marker band position, inflation and deflation time, wire compatibility, catheter effective length, tensile strength, device profile/sheath compatibility, tip profile, radiopacity, simulated use including pushability and trackability and sheath compatibility, and manifold testing.

8. Conclusions

The substantial equivalence of the ELM and WILLOW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters has been demonstrated through comparison with the identified predicate devices. Substantial equivalence is demonstrated for the intended use of both devices. Where substantial equivalence is not directly demonstrated from the perspective of technology and performance, design verification testing provides evidence of the substantial equivalance of the ELM and WILLOW devices. Design verification testing of the WILLOW and ELM meet pre-determined performance characteristics as documented in the Design Output and Product Specification documents. Design validation has been carried out to demonstrate that the WILLOW and ELM designs conform to defined user needs and intended uses as defined in the WILLOW and ELM Design Input and Market Specifications documention.

Additional testing was done to support substantial equivalence to the identified predicate devices. For the WILLOW, rated burst pressure was tested and data demonstrates with 95% confidence that 99.9% of the product meet the rated burst pressure specification and therefore is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Compliance testing was performed which demonstrated that with 95% confidence that 99.7% of the product meets the compliance specification and therefore satisfies is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

For the ELM, rated burst pressure was tested and data demonstrates with 95% confidence that 99.9% of the product meet the rated burst pressure specification and therefore is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Compliance testing was performed which demonstrated that with 95% confidence that 99.7% of the product meets the compliance specification and therefore satisfies is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

3

Therefore, the WILLOW and ELM PTA Balloon Dilation Catheters perform as intended and are substantially equivalent with the identified predicate devices.
