No
The summary describes a mechanical introducer system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML related terms.

No
Explanation: This device is intended to facilitate the introduction of other medical devices into the vasculature, not to treat a condition or disease itself. It is an accessory device rather than a therapeutic one.

No
The device is described as an "Introducer System" to facilitate the introduction of other medical devices into the vasculature, not to diagnose a condition. Its intended use is procedural (to aid in other medical interventions), not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: an Introducer Sheath, Dilator, and a peel-away wire straightener. It also mentions functional/mechanical qualification testing, indicating hardware is involved.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the introduction of guidewires, catheters, and other medical devices into the vasculature and minimize blood loss associated with such introduction." This describes a device used during a medical procedure to access the body's internal structures (vasculature).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical system (sheath, dilator, wire straightener) used for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. There is no mention of analyzing specimens or providing diagnostic information in the provided text.

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

Device Description

The Endologix AFX Introducer System, Model S17-45 consists of an Introducer Sheath (45cm working length), Dilator, and a peel-away wire straightener.

The AFX Introducer System is a single-use sterile device that is compatible with a standard 0.035" guidewire.

  • 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 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lined 55D Pebax introducer sheath, acrylobutylstyrene (ABS) hemostasis valve housing with silicone valve and 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. The only change to the Introducer Sheath from that cleared under K111747 is replacement of the butyl rubber valve with a silicone valve and modification of the hemostasis valve housing to accommodate the silicone valve.
  • Dilator: The dilator for this system is used to provide support and stability to the Introducer Sheath during deployment into the vasculature. The dilator is designed specifically for the Endologix AFX Introducer System and can accommodate a 0.035" guidewire through the central lumen. The dilator is composed of 63D Pebax with 30% Barium Sulfate (BaSO2) for radiopacity and a hydrophilic coating on the outer surface. The dilator is designed in diameter and length to be placed within the AFX Introducer Sheath component. The dilator has a tapered, atraumatic distal tip. The proximal end of the dilator includes a luer port. The dilator provides stiffness to the assembly so that the introducer sheath can be placed within the vasculature during standard vascular access. There are no changes to the dilator from that cleared under K111747.
  • Peel-away Wire Straightener: A newly added peel-away wire straightener has been added to the AFX Introducer System as a convenience option for our customers. The peel-away wire straightener is useful in straightening guidewires prior to feeding into the introducer sheath. This 8 cm length wire straightener is identical in materials (55D Pebax), lumen and outer diameter, construction, and processing as the wire straightener currently packaged with the AFX Endovascular AAA bifurcated delivery system (approved under P040002/5031).

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.
