Intended Use
The Pressure Monitoring Kit with TruWave Disposable Pressure Transducer is for use on patients requiring intravascular, intracranial, or intrauterine pressure monitoring.
Device Description
The Edwards Lifesciences Pressure Monitoring Kit with TruWave disposable pressure transducer is a sterile, single-use kit that monitors intravascular blood pressure, intracranial pressure, and intrauterine pressure. The disposable sterile cable (available in 12-inch/30 cm and 48-inch/120 cm lengths) interfaces exclusively with an Edwards Lifesciences cable that is specifically wired for the patient monitor used to display the pressure data. The TruWave Disposable Pressure Transducer has a straight, flow-through design, where the fluid is passed across the pressure sensor. The DPT is available either with or without an integral flush device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a pressure monitoring kit and transducer with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on comparing the device to a predicate and evaluating its physical performance characteristics.

No.
The device is a pressure monitoring kit designed to display pressure data, not to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes

The device is described as monitoring "intravascular blood pressure, intracranial pressure, and intrauterine pressure," which are physiological parameters used to assess a patient's condition for diagnosis and treatment.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single-use kit" that includes a "disposable sterile cable" and a "TruWave Disposable Pressure Transducer," indicating it is a hardware device with physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for monitoring pressure within the body (intravascular, intracranial, or intrauterine). This involves direct interaction with the patient's internal environment.
  • Device Description: The device is a pressure monitoring kit with a transducer that measures pressure directly from fluid within the body.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro). IVDs are designed to analyze samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., in a laboratory setting or at the point of care, but not by directly measuring parameters within the living patient.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing was conducted to compare the proposed device to the predicate device. The results of the performance testing indicate that the scientific technology and materials of the proposed device is unchanged from the legally marketed device (predicate). The TruWave disposable pressure transducer has successfully passed functional- performance post MRI exposure, the testing included pressure accuracy (nonlinearity and hysteresis).

§ 870.2870 Catheter tip pressure transducer.

(a)
Identification. A catheter tip pressure transducer is a device incorporated into the distal end of a catheter. When placed in the bloodstream, its mechanical or electrical properties change in relation to changes in blood pressure. These changes are transmitted to accessory equipment for processing.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Mazurkiewicz:

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
