The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is indicated for Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty.
Device Description
The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter features an hour glass shaped dilatation balloon on the distal end of a catheter. The catheter is inserted through a percutaneous entry site into the common femoral artery via an introducer sheath and advanced retrograde to the aortic valve. The catheter is always delivered over a guidewire. The balloon is then inflated to dilate the stenotic aortic valve leaflets in an effort to increase valve opening dimensions and systemic blood flow by improving leaflet mobility. The hour glass shaped balloon with the undersized waist segment is intended to minimize over-dilatation of the valve annulus while allowing the full dilation of the valve leaflet. The bulbous proximal balloon segment is appropriately sized for the patient's aortic root dimensions to maximize valve leaflet opening. The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter can be used as both a pre-dilatation and postdilatation device for self-expanding transcatheter heart valves.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of a balloon catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used to treat a medical condition (aortic stenosis) by dilating the aortic valve, which directly impacts the patient's health and bodily function.

No

The device description clearly states that the V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is used to "dilate the stenotic aortic valve leaflets" and "increase valve opening dimensions and systemic blood flow." This describes a therapeutic, rather than a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is a surgical device used to physically dilate a stenotic aortic valve within the patient's body. It is an invasive procedure performed directly on the patient.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the collection or analysis of any specimens from the human body. Its function is mechanical and therapeutic, not diagnostic based on laboratory analysis.

The description clearly outlines a procedure performed in vivo (within a living organism), which is the opposite of in vitro (in glass, referring to laboratory settings).

1.2. PREDICATE DEVICE

The modified device is substantially equivalent to the Valve V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter (K150343).

1.3. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter features an hour glass shaped dilatation balloon on the distal end of a catheter. The catheter is inserted through a percutaneous entry site into the common femoral artery via an introducer sheath and advanced retrograde to the aortic valve. The catheter is always delivered over a guidewire. The balloon is then inflated to dilate the stenotic aortic valve leaflets in an effort to increase valve opening dimensions and systemic blood flow by improving leaflet mobility. The hour glass shaped balloon with the undersized waist segment is intended to minimize over-dilatation of the valve annulus while allowing the full dilation of the valve leaflet. The bulbous proximal balloon segment is appropriately sized for the patient's aortic root dimensions to maximize valve leaflet opening.

The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter can be used as both a pre-dilatation and postdilatation device for self-expanding transcatheter heart valves.

1.4. INTENDED USE

The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is intended to be used to dilate aortic valve tissue. There is no change in intended use from the V8 predicate device.

INDICATIONS FOR USE 1.5.

The V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is indicated for Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty.

1.6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The V8 balloon is made of clear semi-compliant polymeric material. The balloon is available in four sizes (waist/bulb diameters of 17/22 mm, 19/24 mm, 21/26 mm and 23/28 mm). The waist of the hour glass balloon is sized such that it is smaller than the bulb diameter up to the rated burst pressure. The V8 balloon is intended to provide a means for dilation of stenotic aortic valve tissue while minimizing dilation of the aortic annulus by virtue of its hour glass shape. The catheter is currently available in a 110 cm length and is compatible with a 12F introducer sheath. It is introduced through the femoral artery via the introducer sheath and tracked over a 0.035" wire. The catheter's inner shaft beneath the balloon is marked with radiopaque platinum iridium marker bands, two at the center of the waist, and one each at the outside edges of the proximal and distal balloon shoulders. The catheter is packaged in a heat sealed Tyvek pouch and provided sterilized. It is intended for single use only. These characteristics are identical to the predicate V8 device.

1.7. COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

In comparison to the predicate device, the balloon bulb length has been reduced from 10mm to 8mm. All other technological characteristics remain the same.

1.8. PERFORMANCE DATA

Design verification was repeated because the balloon bulb length was modified.

Special Control RequirementEvidence of Conformity
The device should be demonstrated to be
biocompatible.The proposed change does not affect the
biocompatibility of the device. The
biocompatibility test data were provided in the
K123111 submission. There were no new
materials added.
Sterility and shelf life testing should
demonstrate the sterility of patient contacting
components and the shelf-life of these
components.The sterile packaging and shelf carton are
identical to the predicate V8 device. The worst
case device is identical to the predicate device
because it is larger with more material to
sterilize. Therefore the sterility data provided
previously is applicable. The sterilization
validation test results provided in the
510(k) notification K123111 is applicable to
this device.
Shelf life testing was not repeated because the
design changes did not affect the validity of the
shelf life testing done with the predicate V8
device. The material and manufacture of the
device remains the same as the predicate. Shelf
life testing data is provided in the K133607
submission.
Non-clinical performance evaluation of the
device should demonstrate substantial
equivalence in terms of safety and
effectiveness for device delivery, inflation,
deflation, and removal.See below for summary of non-clinical
performance tests.
In vivo evaluation of the device should
demonstrate device performance, including the
ability of the device to treat aortic stenosis.The shape of the device has not changed and
the principles of operation are also the same.
The device dimensions are similar to the
predicate device submitted in 510(k)
notification K150343.
Labeling must include a detailed summary of
the device-related and procedure-related
complications pertinent to use of the device.The IFU contains "Potential Complications,
Outcomes, Adverse Events" section.

Table 1-1: Special Controls

The following testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device:

  • Bond tensile strength .
  • Balloon rated burst pressure ●
  • Balloon compliance (diameter vs. pressure) ●

6

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 1.9.

The V8 device covered by this submission is substantially equivalent to the V8 predicate device. The device intended use has not changed and the design principles are the same. There has been no change to the materials or manufacture of the balloon.

The V8 device covered by this submission has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared V8 predicate device. The differences between this device and the V8 predicate do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy.

1.10. CONCLUSION

The modified V8 Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K150343).
