Intended Use
The LeMaitre LifeSpan ePTFE vascular grafts are indicated for use as a vascular prosthesis only. The grafts are intended for bypass or reconstruction of diseased or occluded blood vessels, or for arteriovenous shunts for blood access.
Device Description
LifeSpan Vascular Grafts are consisting of a base tube of expanded PTFE that is wrapped with PTFE tape for better strength. Externally supported grafts have a monofilament of PTFE wrapped over the tape for added crush and kink resistance. The stepped and tapered grafts have a small diameter end and a large diameter end. All models of the graft have a printed black orientation line consisting of "LeMaitre LifeSpan" printed repeatedly along the length of the graft. This 510k is to add an alternative ink for the printing the orientation line.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical vascular graft and a change to the ink used for printing on it. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a vascular graft, which is used to bypass or reconstruct diseased or occluded blood vessels, directly addressing a health issue.

No
Explanation: The device is a vascular graft, which is a prosthetic device used for the reconstruction or bypass of blood vessels. It is not designed to diagnose diseases or conditions.

No

The device is a physical vascular graft made of expanded PTFE, not software. The 510(k) is for a change in the ink used for printing on the graft.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "vascular prosthesis" for bypass or reconstruction of blood vessels and arteriovenous shunts. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PTFE, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for in vitro use.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The device is a surgical implant used directly within the body for structural support and blood flow.

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”

• The LifeSpan ePTFE vascular grafts are indicated for use as a vascular prosthesis only. The grafts are intended for bypass or reconstruction of diseased or occluded blood vessels, or for arteriovenous shunts for blood access. The physician must evaluate each alternative method of treatment, discuss the risks and benefits with each patient, and decide whether to use a prosthetic vascular graft based upon all available factors.

· Grafts with removable external monofilament support over the length of the graft are used in bypass or reconstruction of occluded or diseased vessels, where compression or kinking could jeopardize patency.

· Grafts with external monofilament support in the middle of the graft may be used for the creation of an arteriovenous shunt for blood access; however, the graft must not be cannulated in the area of the external monofilament support.

· Stepped and tapered grafts are used for the creation of arteriovenous shunts for blood access. Stepped and tapered configurations may reduce the risk of steal syndrome and high cardiac output.

LifeSpan Vascular Grafts are consisting of a base tube of expanded PTFE that is wrapped with PTFE tape for better strength. Externally supported grafts have a monofilament of PTFE wrapped over the tape for added crush and kink resistance. The stepped and tapered grafts have a small diameter end and a large diameter end.

Biocompatibility test was performed for the alternative new ink.

The biocompatibility of the device was tested per ISO10993-1.

LeMaitre Vascular has demonstrated that the LifeSpan ePTFE Vascular Graft printed with the new ink is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on its indications for use and fundamental scientific technology.
