Intended Use
The AMPLATZER® TorqVue FX Delivery System is intended to provide a pathway through which devices are introduced within the chambers of the heart.
Device Description
The AMPLATZER® TorqVue® FX Delivery Systems (also referred to herein as ITV FX) are general purpose delivery systems designed to provide a pathway through which devices are introduced within the chambers of the heart. The ITV FX Delivery Systems are an extension of the AMPLATZER TorqVue (ITV) Delivery System product line. The technological characteristics of the ITV FX are the same as the predicate devices, with the following differences: The TorqVue FX Delivery System contains a flex . delivery cable assembly that incorporates a nitinol core wire surrounded by a stainless steel coil capped by a hub and a self-sealing hemostasis valve. The flex cable assembly provides rigidity for advancing devices through the sheath and allows the core wire to be extended out of the coil to provide flexibility for confirming correct placement of the deployed device. The Torq Vue FX Delivery System contains an 0.035" . compatible extension wire, which is only used for attaching to the delivery cable in vivo when there is a need to replace the sheath with a larger sheath. The standard ITV and ITV FX dilators fit over the extension wire and delivery cable core wire. The ITV FX Delivery System sheath will be offered with a 45° curve with a 60-cm useable length (6Fr, 7Fr, 8Fr) or 80-cm usable length (7Fr, 8Fr. 9Fr. 10Fr, 12Fr, 13Fr) and will be recommended for use with a subset of the AMPLATZER occluders that currently recommend the Torq Vue (45°) Delivery Systems. The ITV FX Delivery System includes a delivery sheath, dilator, delivery cable, extension wire, loader, delivery cable vise, two hemostasis valves, and for the 10, 12 and 13Fr products a flush adaptor to enable connection with syringes for flushing the sheath lumen. The sheaths are radiopaque for visibility under fluoroscopy.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a delivery system intended to provide a pathway for other devices, not to directly treat a condition. While it is crucial for a therapeutic procedure, it does not exert a therapeutic effect itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a delivery system intended to provide a pathway for introducing other devices into the heart, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components (delivery cable assembly, nitinol core wire, stainless steel coil, hub, hemostasis valve, extension wire, sheath, dilator, loader, delivery cable vise, flush adaptor) and describes bench and laboratory testing of these physical components. This indicates it is a hardware 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 is to "provide a pathway through which devices are introduced within the chambers of the heart." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering other medical devices.
  • Device Description: The description details a delivery system with sheaths, dilators, cables, etc., designed for use within the heart. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "chambers of the heart," which is an internal part of the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests on samples.

Therefore, the AMPLATZER® TorqVue FX Delivery System is an in vivo medical device, not an IVD.

| Comparison to
predicate: | The AMPLATZER TorqVue FX Delivery System is substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices cleared by K072313 and K083214,
AMPLATZER TorqVue Delivery System (ITV) and AMPLATZER
TorqVue 45°x45° Delivery Sheath (TV 45°x45°), respectively.

With the exception of the delivery cable, extension wire, and
hemostasis valves, the components used in the ITV FX are identical to
those used in ITV and/or TV 45°x45°.

A high-level comparison of TorqVue FX Delivery System
components to the currently marketed predicate components is
provided in Table 1 below. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 1.TV FX Comparison to Predicates
TorqVue FX ComponentComparison to Predicate Component
Hemostasis Valves*New (equivalent to ITV)
Flush AdapterIdentical to TV 45°x45°
LoaderIdentical to ITV
SheathIdentical to ITV and Equivalent to TV
45°x45°
DilatorIdentical to ITV and Equivalent to TV
45°x45°
Delivery Cable*New (equivalent to ITV)
ViseIdentical to ITV
Extension Wire*New

*Design verification testing was completed for new components, see Section 11.

The ITV FX contains a two-piece flex delivery cable assembly that incorporates a nitinol core wire surrounded by a stainless steel coil capped by a hub and a self-sealing hemostasis valve. The coil component provides rigidity for advancing devices through the sheath and then the Nitinol core wire can be extended out of the coil to provide additional flexibility for confirming correct placement of the deployed device. The stainless steel coil is equivalent to ITV, and the Nitinol core wire concept is similar to the currently marketed AMPLATZER Vascular Plug II (AVP2) delivery wire.

A 0.035" compatible extension wire will also be packaged with the ITV FX Delivery System, and will only be used for attaching to the delivery cable in vivo when there is a need to replace the sheath with a new sheath. The standard ITV and ITV FX dilators fit over the extension wire and delivery cable core wire. The extension wire is similar in design and materials to the AVP2 delivery wire.

The modifications have not altered the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Kollmann:

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.
