Intended Use
The Surefire Infusion System 021 is intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the peripheral vascular system.
Device Description
The Surefire Infusion System 021 is a 0.021" lumen coaxial microcatheter with the Surefire Expandable Tip at the distal end. It has an outer sheath to facilitate expanding and collapsing the Surefire Expandable Tip. The Surefire 021, serves as the conduit for physician-specified agents such as contrast agents, flush solutions, and embolic beads. It is compatible with standard 0.018" guide wires, infusion syringes, rotating hemostatic valves (RHVs/Tuohy Borsts), and embolic hydrogel particles 500um or less in size and glass microspheres 110um or less in size. The Surefire 021 has a Teflon inner liner to provide a lubricious surface for passage of physician-specified agents and other accessory devices. The device is hydrophilically coated. The soft, pliable, funnel-shaped Surefire Expandable Tip is sized for use in vessels of 1.5mm to 4 mm. There are two radiopaque markers located just proximal and distal to the Surefire Expandable Tip. The Tip can be expanded or collapsed up to 3 times for re-positioning an interventional procedure by simply retracting or advancing the inner microcatheter while holding the outer sheath stationary. When expanded, the Expandable Tip is designed to improve infusion efficiency of compatible embolic agents while maintaining antegrade flow in various size vessels. The Surefire Infusion System 021 is provided sterile (EtO) for single patient use.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a catheter system for delivering agents, with no mention of data processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.

No
The device delivers therapeutic agents but is not a therapeutic device itself; it is a microcatheter designed to facilitate the delivery of those agents.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for delivering radiopaque media and therapeutic agents during angiographic procedures, and its description focuses on its function as a conduit for various agents. It does not state that it is used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device, a microcatheter with an expandable tip, and details its physical components, materials, and mechanical properties. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for delivering radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the peripheral vascular system during angiographic procedures. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) diagnostic test performed on samples like blood or tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a microcatheter designed for insertion into blood vessels to deliver substances. This is a medical device used directly on a patient, not a reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The device is clearly intended for therapeutic and imaging delivery within the body, which falls under the category of a medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Surefire Infusion System 021 is a 0.021" lumen coaxial microcatheter with the Surefire Expandable Tip at the distal end. It has an outer sheath to facilitate expanding and collapsing the Surefire Expandable Tip. The Surefire 021, serves as the conduit for physician-specified agents such as contrast agents, flush solutions, and embolic beads. It is compatible with standard 0.018" guide wires, infusion syringes, rotating hemostatic valves (RHVs/Tuohy Borsts), and embolic hydrogel particles 500um or less in size and glass microspheres 110um or less in size. The Surefire 021 has a Teflon inner liner to provide a lubricious surface for passage of physician-specified agents and other accessory devices. The device is hydrophilically coated. The soft, pliable, funnel-shaped Surefire Expandable Tip is sized for use in vessels of 1.5mm to 4 mm.

There are two radiopaque markers located just proximal and distal to the Surefire Expandable Tip. The Tip can be expanded or collapsed up to 3 times for re-positioning an interventional procedure by simply retracting or advancing the inner microcatheter while holding the outer sheath stationary. When expanded, the Expandable Tip is designed to improve infusion efficiency of compatible embolic agents while maintaining antegrade flow in various size vessels.

Indications for Use

The Surefire Infusion System 021 is intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the peripheral vascular system.

Biocompatability Testing

Biocompatibility testing of the patient-contact materials used in the construction of the catheter was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for an external communicating device in contact with circulating blood with a limited duration of less than 24 hours. The following testing was conducted in accordance with GLP by NAMSA (Northwood, OH).

The following biocompatibility testing was conducted on the Surefire Infusion System (K121677) which are constructed of the same materials as the Surefire Infusion System 021. Therefore, the biocompatibility test requirements for the Surefire Infusion System (21 were met by leveraging previously completed biocompatibility testing.

Performance Testing

Design verification testing was performed which demonstrated that the Surefire Infusion System 021 meets its specified performance requirements, and is equivalent to the performance of the predicate device. Testing included visual and dimensional inspection, and tests for hydrophilic coating lubricity and wear, particulates, high pressure injection (burst pressure), tensile strength, kink resistance, torque resistance, trackability, infusion agent compatibility, embolic agent compatibility, antegrade flow and infusion efficiency.

The results of testing demonstrated that the Surefire Infusion System 021 meets its specifications and is comparable in mechanical strength and performance to the predicate Surefire Infusion System.

Animal Testing

An animal study was performed to assess the comparative acute performance of the Surefire Infusion System 021to the predicate device, as defined by physician's in a simulated clinical environment. The Surefire Infusion System 021was found to have acceptable performance. Additionally, the Surefire Infusion System 021was found to have comparable performance to the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence

The Surefire Infusion System 021is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, and technology/principles of operation to the predicate.

Comparative Summary: Design / Technological Characteristics

The Surefire Infusion System 021 and predicate device are coaxial microcatheters with the Surefire Expandable Tip at the distal end. Both infusion systems have an outer catheter to facilitate expanding and collapsing the Surefire Expandable Tip.

The Surefire Infusion System 021 and the predicate device are constructed of similar materials utilizing similar construction and manufacturing processes.

The Surefire Infusion System 021 and predicate device have similar dimensions, with the Surefire Infusion System 021 having smaller outer and inner diameters. Both catheters are 120 cm in length. Due to the smaller inner lumension, the maximum sized embolic beads that are compatible with the Surefire Infusion System 021 are smaller than with the predicate device.

The Surefire Infusion System 021 and predicate device are provided in identical packaging, sterilized by ethylene oxide, and labeled for single use only.

Comparative Summary: Indications for Use

The Surefire Infusion System 021 has the same indications for use as the predicate device. Both devices are intended for use in angiographic procedures to deliver radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the peripheral vascular system.

Comparative Summary: Performance

Animal and bench performance test data demonstrate that the Surefire Infusion System 021 performance is comparable to the predicate device.

In summary, the Surefire Infusion System 021 is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, and technology/principles of operation to the predicate. Animal and bench performance test data demonstrate that the Surefire Infusion System 021 performance is comparable to the predicate device. Differences between the devices do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
