Intended Use

The ThermopeutiX TAPAS™ Catheter is intended for general intravascular use in the peripheral vasculature in arteries 1.8 mm and larger. Once placed in the selected region, the catheter can be used for infusion of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, and for controlling blood flow to the selected region. The diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents are to be used in accordance with specifications outlined by the manufacturer.

The TAPAS™ Catheter is contraindicated for use in the coronary and intracranial arteries.

The TAPAS™ Catheter is not intended for embolic protection or as an aspiration catheter.

Device Description

Other than deletion of an optional extracorporeal circuit connection and the addition of a second balloon, the TAPAS™ catheter that is the subject of this submission is a substantially equivalent to the predicate ThermopeutiX DuoFlo catheter. The TAPAS™ catheter, as does the DuoFlo™ catheter, consists of two coaxial tubular shafts (inflow and outflow lumens) that can infuse diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents to selected regions, as well as direct arterial blood or other solutions to a specific region or organ. The lumens may be accessed using external devices connected to these lumens. There are three additional smaller lumen is used for inflation of the distal balloon on the inflow lumen. one is for optional pressure monitoring and the third lumen permits inflation of the balloon on the outflow lumen.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify numerical sample sizes for the mechanical and biocompatibility tests performed. It states "Physical testing was performed and results were in compliance with relevant standards and the product specification." and "The biological safety of the device has been demonstrated through biocompatibility studies of patient contact materials in accordance with the standards outlined in ISO 10993-1."

There is no information regarding data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) as these are non-clinical, in-vitro/bench tests.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. The tests performed are mechanical and biological (biocompatibility) in nature, not involving expert interpretation of data like medical image analysis. The "ground truth" for these tests would be established by the physical and chemical properties of the materials and device components, measured against established standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human interpretation or subjective assessments that would require an adjudication method. The outcomes of the tests are objective measurements against predefined specifications or standards.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

Not applicable. This device is a medical catheter, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed or is relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the performance and safety tests described (biocompatibility, dimensions, balloon characteristics, bond strengths, etc.) is based on established industry standards (e.g., ISO 10993-1) and ThermopeutiX's internal product specifications. These serve as objective benchmarks.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device submission, which does not involve machine learning models or training sets.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.

Device Classification

Common Names:Vascular Clamp, Temporary Occlusion Catheter
Classification Name:Devices of this type are classified as Class II under 21 CFR Part CFR Part870.4450, Vascular Clamp (Product Code MJN).
Proprietary Name:TAPASTM Catheters

Predicate Device

The Predicate device is the ThermopeutiX DuoFlo™ catheter cleared via 510k's K080700 and K093647.

TAPAS™ Catheter

The ThermopeutiX TAPAS™ Catheter utilizes the identical materials, design and construction methods that are used in the fabrication of DuoFlo™ catheter. These materials and construction methods have met applicable biocompatibility and shelf life requirements. The ThermopeutiX TAPAS™ Catheter has the same intended use as the DuoFlo™ catheter except that the extracorporeal connection option was deleted and a second balloon was added. The same contraindications that apply to the DuoFlo™ catheter apply to the TAPAS™ catheter.

Indications for Use

The ThermopeutiX TAPAS™ Catheter is intended for general intravascular use in the peripheral vasculature in arteries 1.8 mm and larger. Once placed in the selected region, the catheter can be used for infusion of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, and for controlling blood flow to the selected region. The diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents are to be used in accordance with specifications outlined by the manufacturer.

The TAPAS™ Catheter is contraindicated for use in the coronary and intracranial arteries. The TAPAS™ Catheter is not intended for embolic protection or as an aspiration catheter.
