Intended Use
The Gladiator Elite Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, popliteal, tibial, peroneal, subclavian, and renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The Gladiator Elite Balloon Dilatation Catheter is also indicated for post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
Gladiator Elite is an over-the-wire balloon catheter with a dual lumen shaft design. One lumen is used to pass the catheter over 0.035" guidewires. The second lumen communicates with the balloon and is used to inflate and deflate the balloon during the procedure. The guidewire lumen and the balloon lumen terminate at the proximal end of the catheter in a Y- connector manifold with luer lock fittings. There are radiopaque marker bands located under the balloon shoulders to aid in positioning the system during the procedure. A coating is applied to the balloon to enhance insertion and withdrawal performance. The tip of the catheter is gradually tapered to facilitate advancement of the catheter through the stenosis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of a balloon catheter and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
This device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) to treat obstructive lesions in the peripheral vasculature and for post-dilatation of stents, which are direct therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for therapeutic procedures (angioplasty and post-dilatation of stents), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, lumens, guidewire compatibility, radiopaque markers, and a coating, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Gladiator Elite Balloon Dilatation Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for a medical procedure (Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty) performed within the patient's body to treat vascular conditions. IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with a therapeutic medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Gladiator Elite Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Rossi,

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 gencral 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.
