Intended Use
The Access & Support Catheter is intended for use during coronary and peripheral interventional procedures to guide and support guidewires, traverse discrete portions of the vasculature, allow for guidewire exchanges and provide a conduit for infusion of saline solution, diagnostic contrast agents and therapeutic agents.
Device Description
The Access & Support Catheter is an over-the-wire (OTW) single-lumen catheter with an atraumatic tapered tip. The catheter is offered in twelve (12) size models as outlined in the following table. The catheter shaft consists of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with distal platinum/iridium markerbands. The distal 40 cm outer portion of all catheters have a hydrophilic coating. The proximal portion includes a PEBA strain relief with a HDPE manifold which incorporates a female luer connection which communicates with the catheter lumen. The catheter through lumen is used to pass the catheter over the appropriate guidewire or for infusion. When used for infusion, the maximum infusion pressure should not exceed 300 psi. The catheter guidewire compatibility size and length are printed on the strain relief. All models are compatible with 5 Fr introducer sheaths and 6 Fr guiding catheters. All devices are provided sterile and intended for single use only.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device's intended use specifies it provides a conduit for infusion of therapeutic agents, but the device itself does not deliver the therapy. It facilitates the delivery of therapeutic agents, acting as a support or access device, not a therapeutic agent itself.

No

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the catheter can provide a conduit for "diagnostic contrast agents," but the device itself does not perform analysis or detection; it merely facilitates the delivery of a diagnostic agent. Therefore, it is not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like HDPE and platinum/iridium, and the performance studies focus on bench testing of these physical characteristics. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during interventional procedures within the body (coronary and peripheral vasculature). It's used to guide and support other devices, traverse vessels, and deliver substances directly into the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the vascular system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs typically involve analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other samples in a laboratory setting.

This device is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The catheter shaft consists of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with distal platinum/iridium markerbands. The distal 40 cm outer portion of all catheters have a hydrophilic coating. The proximal portion includes a PEBA strain relief with a HDPE manifold which incorporates a female luer connection which communicates with the catheter lumen. The catheter through lumen is used to pass the catheter over the appropriate guidewire or for infusion. When used for

infusion, the maximum infusion pressure should not exceed 300 psi. The catheter guidewire compatibility size and length are printed on the strain relief. All models are compatible with 5 Fr introducer sheaths and 6 Fr guiding catheters. All devices are provided sterile and intended for single use only.

Intended Use / Indications

The Access & Support Catheter is intended for use during coronary and peripheral interventional procedures to guide and support guidewires, traverse discrete portions of the vasculature, allow for guidewire exchanges and provide a conduit for infusion of saline solution, diagnostic contrast agents and therapeutic agents.

Comparison to Predicates

The indication for use of the Access & Support Catheter is comparable to the predicate devices with the differences being mainly semantics. Both devices are intended to support access to the vasculature, allow for guidewire exchanges, and provide a conduit for fluid deliveries. The Access & Support Catheter uses the terms "discreet portions of the vasculature" as a more descriptive term compared to the Quick-Cross general "access of the vasculature." For comparison, the Minnie Support Catheter also uses the "discreet regions" terms as further description of the type of vasculature the catheter can be used within.

The Access & Support Catheter is technologically similar to the predicate devices in that they all are single lumen catheters utilized to exchange guidewires and/or infuse intravascular procedural agents as necessary. The Minnie Catheter is constructed of similar materials (polyethylene and hydrophilic coating) with similar working lengths ranging in size from 65cm to 150cm, and the same dimensional guidewire compatibility (0.014", and 0.035"). The Quick-Cross Support Catheter is constructed of similar materials (HDPE, Pt/Ir, and hydrophilic coating) and ranges in length from 90cm to 135cm with the same guidewire compatibilities. The following table outlines a comparison of the subject device to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Job:

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
