Intended Use
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of selfexpanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.
Device Description
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a 14F retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No

The device is intended to assist in the modeling of endoprostheses, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is described as a "modeling catheter" intended to "assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses" in large diameter vessels, which points to a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a silicone surface coated catheter, expandable Nitinol mesh, retractable sheath, inner lumen, side ports, and handles, indicating 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 "assist in the modeling of selfexpanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels." This describes a surgical or interventional procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with a Nitinol mesh, sheath, guidewire lumen, and handles. This is a medical device designed for physical manipulation within the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are specifically designed for in vitro (outside the body) examination of specimens.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used in "large diameter vessels," which are internal anatomical structures.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique used to visualize the device's position within the body during the procedure.

In summary, the UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is a surgical or interventional medical device used for a procedure within the body, not for in vitro diagnostic testing of samples.

Dear Mr. Hodgkinson:

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.
