Intended Use
The Passeo-35 Peripheral Dilatation Catheter is indicated to dilate stenosis in the renal, iliac, femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Device Description
The Passec-35 Peripheral Dilatation Catheter (Passeo-35) is intended for dilatation of stenotic segments in peripheral vessels. One radiopaque marker is located at either end of the balloon to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization and positioning of the balloon catheter towards and across the lesion. The dilatation balloon is designed to inflate to a known diameter at a specific inflation pressure consistent with the compliance chart on the label. The balloon catheter includes a tapered soft tip to facilitate advancement of the catheter. The balloon catheter shaft has two Luer ports at the proximal end. One port) serves for connecting an inflation device to inflate/deflate the balloon. The other port) enables insertion of the guide wire. The balloon catheter is a dual lumens contained within one tube. The smaller lumen is the balloon inflation/deflation lumen permits the use of guide wires with a maximum diameter of 0.035" to facilitate advancement of the Passeo-35 catheter towards and through the lesion(s) to be dilated. The balloon catheter is compatible with introducer) sizes according to the recommendations on the label. The balloon catheter has a silicone coating (hydrophobic) to improve the trackability characteristics.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a balloon catheter for dilating blood vessels. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing for analysis, or any terms related to AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

Yes.

Explanation: The device is intended to dilate stenosis in arteries and treat obstructive lesions, which are therapeutic actions aimed at improving patient health.

No

This device is a therapeutic device, specifically a balloon catheter used for dilating stenoses in arteries and arteriovenous fistulae. Its primary function is treatment, not diagnosis. The "Ingredients: Fluoroscopic visualization" refers to the method used to guide the placement of the therapeutic device, not that the device itself is performing a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, radiopaque markers, Luer ports, and a guide wire lumen. This is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Passeo-35 Peripheral Dilatation Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Passeo-35 Function: The Passeo-35 is a physical device used within the body (in vivo) to mechanically dilate blood vessels. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on the examination of those samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for dilating stenosis in arteries and treating obstructive lesions in dialysis fistulae. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and how it's used for mechanical dilatation, not for analyzing samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites are within the patient's circulatory system.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopic visualization is used to guide the device within the body, not to analyze samples.

Therefore, the Passeo-35 Peripheral Dilatation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device used in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Biocompatibility Testing

Test NameTest DescriptionResults
CytotoxicityL929 cells are incubated with test article extracts and
evaluated for percentage of cell growth inhibition and
compared to a control sample (control: cells exposed
to extraction medium).Growth analyses of cells
cultured with test article
extract showed no cytotoxic
effects of the test article.
SensitizationThe test article is extracted polar/non-polar solution
according to ISO 10993-12 and administered topically
to mice for 3 days. After 5 days mice are sacrificed
and lymph node cells are harvested and analysed to
compute stimulation index (SI) vs. a negative
sensitization control.The stimulation index (SI),
ratio of test article / negative
control, was calculated for
each concentration of the test
article extract. No reactions
were identified as sensitization
Irritation / Intracutaneous
reactivityThe test article is extracted with 0.9 % Sodium
chloride solution (polar) and Cottonseed Oil (non-
polar) according to ISO 10993-12. Extracts are
injected into rabbits and rabbits are observed for
erythema and edema immediately after injection and
after 24, 48, and 72 hours.There were no signs of
irritation of the polar and non-
polar test article extracts
injected intracutaneously into
rabbits.
Test NameTest DescriptionResults
Acute systemic toxicityThe test article is extracted with polar and non-polar
extraction vehicles according to ISO 10993-12. Mice
are injected with extracts and observed for adverse
reactions immediately after dosing and again at 4, 24,
48, and 72 hours after injection. At termination mice
were sacrificed and gross necropsy was carried out to
record gross pathological changes.There were no compound
related mortalities, no
significant body weight loss
was recorded and all animals
appeared clinically normal. At
necropsy no evidence of gross
pathology of organs was
found. The test article was
considered to have no acute
toxic characteristics.
PyrogenicityThe test article is extracted with sterile, non-pyrogenic
polar solution according to ISO 10993-12. Extract is
injected into rabbits and rectal body temperatures are
measured and recorded prior to injection and up to 3
hours after injection.No single animal showed a
temperature increase higher
or equal to 0.5°C above its
initial temperature. The test
article is considered to be
non-pyrogenic.
HemocompatibilityThe test article is placed in a polymer tube filled with
Heparin-anticoagulated whole human blood and
rotated on a modified chandler-unit. The effects of the
test article regarding TAT (thrombin-antithrombin
complex), cell count and the hemolysis are evaluated
by comparison to the predicate device.There were no significant
changes in the cell counts and
the coagulation system
activation value measured as
TAT complex generation of
the test article was identical in
comparison with the
reference. There was no
evidence of hemolysis.
Gas Chromatography -
Mass SpectrometryThe old materials are compared to the new materials.
The test articles are extracted in different solvents
(polar and non-polar, e.g. purified water, isopropyl
alcohol and hexane) and the extracts are analyzed by
GC-MS fingerprint analysis.GC/MS fingerprint analysis of
extractable semi-volatile
organic compounds yielded no
differences in the type of
detected substances in the
extracts. There are no
significant differences
between old and new
materials
Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy
(FT-IR) analysisFourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) was
utilized to compare the chemical composition of the
new materials and old materials The resulting FT-IR
spectra were compared.Materials had greater than
99% correlation according to
FT-IR analysis. The new
materials are similar to the
predicate.

The balloon catheter was visually inspected as
follows:
a) visual check of catheter surface for defects.
b) Correct printing on the device
c) homogeneity of coating on the catheter
d) Positioning of the X-ray markers
e) usable length of the balloon catheter
f) shaft inner diameter
g) shaft outer diameter (prox/mid/dist) along different
longitudinal paths (e.g., rotating test sample 90
degrees for measurements)Inspectional acceptance
criteria were met.
Crossing Profile (system
profile)This test was conducted as per ISO 25539-2:2008
and ASTM F2081-6.
The diameter of the device is measured by passing
the device through a ring-hole gauge. Crossing profile
(proximal end of the balloon and the distal tip of the
catheter) of the catheter evaluated in terms of
smallest French size compatibility.Acceptance criteria for
crossing profile were met.
Crossing profile is within
specs of predicate.
Simulated Use Testing
Simulated Use / Balloon
Preparation, Deployment
and RetractionThis test addresses the requirements for qualitative
evaluation of simulated use, flex/kink, pushability,
torquability and trackability of the system. The test is
conducted by inserting, delivering and deploying the
balloon in the model and then withdrawing the system
while qualitatively evaluating pushability, torquability
and trackability.Acceptance criteria for balloon
prep, deployment and
retraction were met. Test
shows device performs similar
to predicate in a simulated use
environment.
Deflated Balloon ProfileThe friction to introduce and pullback after inflation
was assessed. The test is conducted by measuring
force required to insert and remove a deflated balloon
as the device is passed through a ring-hole gauge.Acceptance criteria were met:
withdrawal force is less than
minimal tensile and deflated
balloon diameter is less than
max crossing profile.
TrackabilityAll testing performed in a Crossover model.
Trackability - recorded frictional force (N) over
distance (mm) when tracked over a guide wire in
arterial model and compared to predicates.Acceptance criteria for
comparison to the predicate
were met.
PushabilityThe test device is pushed through an anatomical
model with a proximal force while the distal reaction
force is measured. The pushing continues until a
proximal force threshold is reached. The pushability
force must be comparable or better (greater) than the
existing Passeo-35 range.Acceptance criteria for
comparison to predicate
devices were met.
Test NameTest Conditions / SpecificationsSummary Results
Torqueability / Torque
StrengthThe catheter is preconditioned with simulated use
then the proximal end of the device is rotated counter
clockwise until the first rotational movement at the
distal end is observed. In this torqued position, the
distal end of the device is clamped and the proximal
end is rotated another 5 times and the device inflated
and deflated to NP to verify that it can withstand the
torsion.Qualitative assessment
showed rotation transfers to
distal tip on average between
10 and 16 rotations and all
balloons passed inflation test.
Device meets torqueability
and torque strength
acceptance criteria.
Pullback and
reintroduction testThe friction to introduce and pullback the device after
inflation to RBP is measured. With the balloon in an
appropriate sheath, the friction to introduce and
pullback the device after inflation to RBP is evaluated.
Introduction and pullback are repeated three times
and on the third time, the balloon is intentionally burst
before pullback to test if balloon can be pulled back
safely in the event of a burst.Pullback and reintroduction
was comparable or better than
comparator product.
Product specifications were
met for 1st and 2nd pullback
force values. Balloon can be
safely retrieved after burst.
Balloon Inflation /
Deflation TimeInflation and deflation times to RBP measured for
characterization only. Inflation and deflation time are
measured with the device placed in an anatomical
model and a 50:50 mixture of contrast and saline are
used to inflate to RBP. The inflation time from 0.5 bar
to RBP is recorded. After holding the RBP for 30s, the
plunger is pulled to create a vacuum while the time
required for balloon to completely empty is recorded
as deflation time.Inflation time was
characterized and deflation
time was determined to be
according to specifications
within the instructions for use.
Flexibility and kink testThe catheter is advanced over a guidewire through a
predefined curve, minimum radius of 20mm (clinically
relevant radius) until the shaft is located in the
corresponding radius. The guide wire movability is
checked, and, subsequently, the balloon is inflated to
NP and pressure is held for 30 s prior to deflation.No kink occurred nor was the
function of the device
compromised at the clinically
relevant radius of 20 mm. The
guide wire was movable
during testing and it was
possible to inflate and to
deflate the balloon to and from
NP.
Particulate EvaluationParticles were measured using the methods
described in USP . The process of balloon
delivery, deployment and retraction is simulated using
an in-vitro peripheral crossover model consisting of a
specially designed tortuous path to represent the iliac
arteries and the crossover radius at the abdominal
aortic bifurcation. The number of sub-visible
particulates is evaluated by an optical counter for
solution samples collected after track, after retraction
and cleaning. A statistical evaluation using the "t-test"
analysis is conducted to compare the number of
particulates measured of the Passeo-35 LE devices to
predicate and marketed comparator devices.The number of particulates
released by the Passeo-35 LE
were either the same as (p-
value >0.05) or were less than
the comparator device (p-
value
