Intended Use
The NC Euphora™ Rapid Exchange Balloon Dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The balloon dilatation catheter is also indicated for post deployment expansion of balloon expandable stents.
Device Description
The NC Euphora™ RX Balloon Dilatation catheter is a Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Rapid Exchange System.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a balloon catheter, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for balloon dilatation of stenotic portions of coronary arteries or bypass grafts to improve myocardial perfusion, which directly treats a medical condition.

No
This device is a therapeutic device used for balloon dilatation, not a diagnostic device used for identifying a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, guidewire lumen, radiopaque markers, and luer connector, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion" and "post deployment expansion of balloon expandable stents." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with a balloon, lumens for a guidewire, and features for positioning and inflation. This is consistent with a medical device used for intervention within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 870.5100 Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheter.

(a)
Standard PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters.” See § 870.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(b)
Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval). As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 870.3.
