Intended Use
The EMPIRA Rx PTCA Catheter and EMPIRA NC Rx PTCA Dilatation Catheter are indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The EMPIRA NC Rx PTCA Dilatation Catheter is also indicated for post-delivery expansion of balloon expandable stents.
Device Description
The EMPIRA and EMPIRA NC Rx PTCA Dilatation Catheters, hereafter referred to as the EMPIRA Catheter, are similar in design. The catheters differ in available configurations (diameter versus balloon working length). The EMPIRA Catheter is a sterile, single-use rapid exchange catheter with a nylon-blend balloon near the distal tip. The distal section of the catheter is dual lumen and coaxial. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon and the inner lumen permits the use of a guide wire (≤ 0.014 in. / 0.36 mm) to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The proximal section of the catheter is a single lumen stainless steel PTFE coated hypotube with a single luer port for the inflation of the balloon. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of specified diameter and length at recommended pressures. The balloon is folded to achieve a low crossing profile and is connected to a tapered, soft tip. The tapered tip facilitates advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis. A hydrophilic coating is applied from the distal tip to the guide wire port and over the balloon for increased lubricity. All models have two radiopaque marker bands that aid in the placement of the catheter's balloon segment under fluoroscopy. A balloon protector is placed over the balloon to maintain a low profile and a mandrel is placed in the lumen to maintain patency. The proximal end of the catheter is comprised of a hypotube connected to a plastic hub. The hub can be connected to a standard inflation device and is used to inflate/deflate the balloon. A needle with a luer port is included for flushing the distal lumen prior to the insertion of a guide wire. The EMPIRA Catheter is compatible with standard 0.014" coronary guide wires and 5F guiding catheters. The catheter length is approximately 139 cm. The EMPIRA and EMPIRA NC Rx PTCA Catheters are offered in diameters of 1.5- 4.0 mm and 2.0-4.0, respectively. The working lengths of the treatment balloon are offered in lengths from 6.0 to 30mm. The EMPIRA and EMPIRA NC Rx PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter product family consists of multiple sizes.

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

Yes
The device directly treats a medical condition (stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis) by improving myocardial perfusion through balloon dilatation.

No

The device is a therapeutic angioplasty catheter used for dilating coronary artery stenoses, not for diagnosing them. Its purpose is to treat a condition, not to identify or characterize it.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, lumens, guide wire compatibility, radiopaque markers, and a hub for inflation. This is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon designed for mechanical expansion within a blood vessel. This is a medical device used for intervention, not for testing samples outside 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 screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a therapeutic purpose.

§ 870.5100 Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheter.

(a)
Standard PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters.” See § 870.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(b)
Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval). As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 870.3.
