More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical catheter and its intended uses and insertion technique. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven analysis.

No
The device is a catheter used for diagnostic (catheterization) and access purposes (to administer fluids or medications or to monitor pressures), not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No
Explanation: The device description and intended use indicate that the Leaderflex catheter is used for arterial, central venous, and peripheral venous catheterization, which are procedures for accessing the vascular system, not for diagnosing a disease or condition. The performance study mentioned is a risk analysis related to an added indication, not diagnostic performance.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "radiopaque biostable polyurethane catheter," which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Leaderflex catheter clearly indicate it is a device for inserting into the body (arteries and veins) for catheterization. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of substances, or diagnostic testing performed outside the body.

Therefore, the Leaderflex catheter is a medical device used for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures performed directly on the patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

PREMARKET NOTIFICATION 510(k) SUMMARY (As Required By 21 CFR §807.92)

510k number: K141026 Applicant: Vygon Corporation 2750 Morris Road, Suite A200 Lansdale, PA 19446 Contact Name: Jillian Mikovich Regulatory Affairs Manager Phone: 800-473-5414 Fax: 215-672-6740 Leaderflex Trade Name: Common Name: Intravascular Catheter 21 CFR 880.5200 Regulation Number: Product Code: FOZ Catheter, Intravascular, Therapeutic, Short-term Less than 30 days Classification Name: Regulatory Class: Class II Vygon Leaderflex, K052564 Predicate Devices: Bard Powerglide Midline Catheter, K121073 Bard Poly Per-Q-Cath Midline, K001901 April 21, 2014 Date Prepared: Device Description: Leaderflex is a radiopaque biostable polyurethane catheter suitable for a variety of venous and arterial applications. Leaderflex is inserted via Seldinger technique. Intended Use: Leaderflex catheters are indicated for: · Arterial catheterization in adults · Central venous catheterization (jugular, subclavian) in children · Peripheral venous catheterization (Midline) in any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of procedure Technology Characteristics: Leaderflex is identical to the legally marketed Vygon predicate device. The subject device shares the midline indication with both the Bard Powerglide and Poly Per-Q-Cath Midline catherters. Non-Clinical Summary: The subject device is completely identical to the Vygon predicate and shares a common indication with both Bard predicates. A risk analysis

has been completed to show that the safety and effectiveness of the device has not been altered with the addition of the midline indication.

Given the above, the subject device, using Vygon Leader-Flex, Bard Powerglide Midline and Bard Poly Per-Q-Cath Midline as the predicate devices, meets regulatory requirements for Demonstration of substantial equivalence (see Premarket Notification Review Program 6/30/86 (K86-3) FDA blue book memorandum, "Guidance on the CDRH Premarket Notification Review Program").

Dear Ms. Mikovich:

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.
