The device description and intended use focus on the physical characteristics and function of a balloon guide catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device facilitates guidance and temporary occlusion during angiographic procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a guide catheter used to facilitate and guide other intravascular catheters and provide temporary vascular occlusion during angiographic procedures. Its function is interventional and supportive, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, a flexible shaft, and luer fittings, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for "facilitating and guidance of intravascular catheters into a selected blood vessel" and for "temporary vascular occlusion during these and other angiographic procedures." This describes a device used within the body for procedural support, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon, designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnosing a disease or condition through in vitro testing.
IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely procedural and supportive within the vascular system.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Reverse Medical ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter is indicated for use in facilitating and guidance of intravascular catheters into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral and neurovascular systems. The balloon provides temporary vascular occlusion during these and other angiographic procedures.

Device Description
The ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter is a flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. A compliant balloon is mounted on the distal end of the catheter. The ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter dimensions are included on the individual device labels. The ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter inner lumen can accommodate guidewires up to 0.038 inches in diameter to aid in placement of the catheter system.
The proximal end of the ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter has a bifurcated luer fitting to allow attachment of accessories and infusion of liquids through the system. The ReFlex™ Balloon Guide Catheter is offered in various sizes to accommodate physician preferences and anatomical variations. The catheter is provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.

Dear Mr. Valko:
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.
