Intended Use
The Primi™ Support Catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with guidewires in order to access discreet regions of the peripheral vasculature. It may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices. The support catheter also may be used to selectively infuse/deliver physician specified diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, such as sterile saline, contrast agents, vaso-dilators, anti-blastics, lytics, and anti-thrombotics, with or without a guidewire in position.
Device Description
The ThermopeutiX Support Catheter that is the submission is a single lumen catheter with a radiopaque marker that aids in positioning the catheter and a tapered tip to facilitate entry. The catheter utilizes an integral spine wire. The catheter is available in several diameters and lengths which are 0.014", 0.018", or 0.035" guidewire compatible. The working lengths are 90 cm thru 170 cm. Reference Table 1 for model number availability. The distal portion of the catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to facilitate insertion. The device has a luer hub connector to allow infusion of diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only. Reference Table 2 below for physical and performance characteristics.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and functional characteristics of a support catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates the delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, but it does not directly perform a therapeutic function on its own.

Yes
The device is described as being able to "selectively infuse/deliver physician specified diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, such as sterile saline, contrast agents, vaso-dilators, anti-blastics, lytics, and anti-thrombotics". The ability to deliver contrast agents is a key function used in diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a lumen, radiopaque marker, tapered tip, integral spine wire, hydrophilic coating, and luer hub connector. It also mentions physical characteristics and performance testing related to the hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to access and facilitate procedures within the peripheral vasculature. It's used for delivering agents and manipulating guidewires.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed for testing biological samples outside the body. This device is designed for direct use inside the body.

Technological Characteristics Comparison

The Primi™ Support Catheter with the advanced hydrophilic coating is identical in design and construction to the currently marketed Primi™ Support Catheter with the exception of the hydrophilic coating. The advanced hydrophilic coating provides comparable lubricity with a reduction in particulates. The coating is applied to the same portion of the candidate device as the predicate device. The coating thickness is considered equivalent between the candidate and predicate device.

Dear Mr. Ford:

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 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.
