Intended Use

The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter with Hook is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via placement in the vena cava in the following situations: - Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulants are contraindicated; - - Failure of anticoagulant therapy in thromboembolic diseases; - - Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced; and - Chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism where anticoagulant therapy has failed or is contraindicated. The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter with Hook may be retrieved according to the instructions supplied in the Instruction For Use of the ALN Extraction Kit. The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter with Hook may be retrieved with a standard GooseNeck Snare according to the instructions supplied in the Instruction For Use of this medical device. Extraction kit: The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter Extraction Kit has been designed for the removal of an implanted ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter or ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter with Hook in patients who no longer require a filter. The retrieval of the filter can be performed only by jugular approach.

Device Description

The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit consists of a 9 legs 316L stainless steel vena cava filter with or without a retrieval hook sold with a delivery kit, and an extraction kit with an 8 arms 316L stainless steel forceps. The filter is prepackaged in a filter holder designed to facilitate the insertion of the filter in the introducer catheter. The filter and the delivery kit are packaged together in Tyvel/film pouches and the extraction kit is packaged alone in the same type of pouches. The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter is designed to stop free thrombus in the vena cava in high risk patients. The insertion of the filter can be made by jugular, brachial or femoral approach and are very little traumatic, as the sheath has a 7F diameter. The extraction can be made only by jugular approach.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The document describes a mechanical vena cava filter and its associated delivery and extraction kits. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies rely on clinical data and literature review, not on the training or testing of an AI/ML model.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is indicated for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism, which directly addresses a health condition.

Diagnostic

This device is an implantable filter intended to prevent pulmonary embolism, not to diagnose a condition.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly states it consists of a physical vena cava filter made of stainless steel, a delivery kit, and an extraction kit with stainless steel forceps. These are all hardware components.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter is a physical device designed to be implanted in the vena cava to prevent pulmonary embolism. It is a mechanical filter that physically stops blood clots. The extraction kit is used to remove this implanted device.
No Mention of Samples or Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples from the body or perform any kind of diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an implantable medical device used for therapeutic and preventative purposes, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical Performances:
The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit passed all the tests required to demonstrate its non clinical performances:

Simulated deployment -
Introducer / sheath suitability -
-Clot trapping ability
Filter fracture -
Caval perforation / filter migration -
Thrombogenicity -
MRI compatibility -

Moreover, the filtering performances were assessed by a bench test in comparison with one the predicate device (results are similar for the two devices).

Clinical Performances:
The safety and effectiveness of the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit have been demonstrated via clinical data collected for 14 years. Every clinical investigation is in conformance with the FDA guidance for cardiovascular intravascular filter and a review of the literature underlines that clinical performances of ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit are similar to the clinical performances of the two predicates. The last clinical study about ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit was published in chest in 2006. It includes 220 patients who receive an ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter for prevention of venous thromboembolism. Results show low rates of complication. On the 220 filters, 55 were retrieved after a mean period of 51 days (range: 6 - 352 days) without any complication.

Dear Ms. Couttereau:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
