Intended Use
The AFX Introducer System facilitates the introduction of guidewires, and other medical devices into the vasculature and minimizes blood loss associated with such introduction.
Device Description
The Endologix AFX Introducer System consists of an Introducer Sheath (45 cm working length) and two Dilators. The system is enclosed in a sterile package. During clinical use, the system will allow introduction of a standard 0.035" guidewire within its inner lumen. Introducer Sheath: The Introducer Sheath provides a conduit for introducing other interventional devices, including guidewires and interventional catheters, into the vasculature. The main components of this assembly are a hydrophilically-coated, PTFE lined, 55D Pebax introducer sheath, acrylobutylstyrene (ABS) hemostasis valve housing with butyl rubber valve, and silicone gasket assembly, 3 way stopcock/valve, and sideport diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)-free polyvinylchloride (PVC) tubing. The Pebax introducer sheath also includes an embedded stainless steel braid for increased strength and kink resistance, and embedded Vectran® strands for increased longitudinal strength. The distal tip of the introducer sheath includes an embedded radiopaque marker composed of 90% Platinum/10% Iridium. Dilators: The dilators for the system are used to provide support and stability to the Introducer Sheath during deployment into the vasculature. The dilators are designed specifically for the Endologix AFX Introducer System and can accommodate a 0.035" guidewire through the central lumen. Two dilators are included with the AFX Introducer System. Both dilators are included within the package. One dilator is a single lumen device and one dilator is a dual lumen device. Both dilators are composed of 63D Pebax with 20% Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) for radiopacity and include a hydrophilic coating on the outer surface. These dilators are designed in diameter and length to be placed within the AFX Introducer Sheath component. The dilators have a tapered, atraumatic distal tip. The proximal end of the dilators includes a luer port. The dilators provide stiffness to the assembly so that the introducer sheath can be placed within the vasculature during a standard vascular access.

No
The device description and performance testing focus on the physical components and mechanical properties of a standard introducer system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
This device, an introducer system, facilitates the introduction of other medical devices into the vasculature; it does not directly treat a condition or restore a function.

No

The device is an introducer system used to facilitate the insertion of other medical devices into the vasculature, which is an interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an Introducer Sheath, Dilators, and various materials (PTFE, Pebax, ABS, rubber, silicone, PVC, stainless steel, Vectran, Platinum/Iridium, Barium Sulfate). The performance testing also focuses on physical characteristics and material compatibility. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the introduction of guidewires, and other medical devices into the vasculature and minimizes blood loss associated with such introduction." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for procedural access, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details components designed for insertion into the vasculature (sheath, dilators, hemostasis valve, etc.). These are all consistent with a device used for vascular access during medical procedures.
  • 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 diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

Therefore, the Endologix AFX Introducer System is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Fauls:

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. 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.
