Intended Use
The Passage Hemostasis Valve is recommended for maintaining a fluid-tight seal around percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters and guidewires.
Device Description
The Passage Hemostasis Valve minimizes blood loss during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The Merit Passage Hemostasis Valve consists of a Y-adaptor with a hemostasis valve which also incorporates a female luer lock connector and a male luer lock rotator. The polycarbonate used to manufacture the adaptor is transparent to aid in visualizing entrapped air. The hemostatic valve adjusts between 0 to 0.097" (approximately 7 French). The Y-body design allows both injection of contrast and placement of interventional devices. The Passage Hemostasis Valve is comprised of a stand-alone rotator assembly bonded to the polycarbonate Y-body, using a UV cured adhesive. The seal and washer are inserted into the Y-body valve port. A thin coat of silicone is applied to the threaded portion of the Y-body and the cap is assembled. The standalone rotator assembly is comprised of individually molded polycarbonate parts(housing connector, retaining collar, hub) and an EPDM(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) O-Ring.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and fluid dynamics properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a valve for maintaining a fluid-tight seal and minimizing blood loss during diagnostic and interventional procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as minimizing blood loss during "diagnostic and interventional procedures" and for maintaining a fluid-tight seal around catheters and guidewires. Its function is to facilitate procedures, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polycarbonate and EPDM, and the performance studies focus on mechanical properties like rotation, sealing, and pressure capability, indicating a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to maintain a fluid-tight seal around catheters and guidewires during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedures. This is a function performed in vivo (within the body) during a medical procedure, not in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical valve and adaptor designed to manage blood loss and allow access during a procedure. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples for diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other biological samples, nor any reference to diagnostic testing, assays, or laboratory procedures.

Therefore, the Passage Hemostasis Valve is a medical device used during interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. King.

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.

Intended UseThe Passage Hemostasis Valve is recommended for maintaining a fluid-tight seal around percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters and guidewires.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Passage Hemostasis Valve minimizes blood loss during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The Merit Passage Hemostasis Valve consists of a Y-adaptor with a hemostasis valve which also incorporates a female luer lock connector and a male luer lock rotator. The polycarbonate used to manufacture the adaptor is transparent to aid in visualizing entrapped air. The hemostatic valve adjusts between 0 to 0.097" (approximately 7 French). The Y-body design allows both injection of contrast and placement of interventional devices.

Device Description

The Passage Hemostasis Valve is comprised of a stand-alone rotator assembly bonded to the polycarbonate Y-body, using a UV cured adhesive. The seal and washer are inserted into the Y-body valve port. A thin coat of silicone is applied to the threaded portion of the Y-body and the cap is assembled. The standalone rotator assembly is comprised of individually molded polycarbonate parts(housing connector, retaining collar, hub) and an EPDM(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) O-Ring.

Comparison to Predicate

The technological characteristics of the subject Merit Passage Hemostasis Valve are substantially equivalent to the Predicate Merit Passage Hemostasis Valve [K925419]. Both devices use the same components and materials, with the exception of the O-Ring, which has undergone a material change from silicone to EPDM. The device design and indications remain unchanged. The O-Ring material change was previously assessed under the Reference Device#2 Merit Rotating Adaptor, K140475.

No performance standards have been established under section 514 of the Food. Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. Performance testing of the subject Merit Passage Hemostasis Valve was conducted based on risk analysis. A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the following documents:
