Intended Use
The Reverse Medical Microcatheter is intended for use in neuro, peripheral and coronary vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic agents such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents such as occlusion coils.
Device Description
The Reverse Medical Microcatheter is a single lumen, flexible stiffness composite catheter. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The Reverse Medical Microcatheter dimensions are included on the individual device labels. The Reverse Medical Microcatheter inner lumen can accommodate guidewires up to 0.018 inches in diameter to access distal tortuous vasculature. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal portion of the catheter facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The Reverse Medical Microcatheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter is provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (microcatheter) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or capabilities related to AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as being intended for the infusion of "therapeutic agents such as occlusion coils," indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is a microcatheter intended for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, not for performing a diagnosis itself. It facilitates the delivery of diagnostic agents, but it is a delivery tool, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific dimensions, materials, and features (lumen, coating, markers, luer adapter), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents within the neuro, peripheral, and coronary vasculature. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, accommodating guidewires, and visualized with fluoroscopy. This aligns with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is designed for direct use within the patient's body.

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.

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

5

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.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Resourcesfor You/Industry/default.htm.
