Intended Use
The Impulse™ and Expo™ Anqiographic Catheters are designed to provide a pathway to be used for delivering contrast media to selected sites in the vascular system during an angiographic procedure. The Impulse™ and Expo™ Angiographic Catheters are intended for use in general intravascular applications to provide a pathway through which contrast media may be introduced.
Device Description
The Impulse™ and Expo™ Angiographic Catheters are single Jumen catheters offered in three distal curve shapes: Selective, Pigtail and Multi-Purpose. The Expo Catheter is offered in 5F, 6F, and 7F outer diameter, and the Impulse Catheter is offered in 5F and 6F outer diameter. The device shafts have multiple polymer layers with a stainless steel braid embedded between the layers, and an atraumatic tip that does not contain a braid. The proximal end consists of an insert molded polymer hub on all models, and a strain relief on all models except the 7F Expo.

No
The summary describes a physical catheter device for delivering contrast media and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical and biocompatibility testing.

No.
The device is used to deliver contrast media during an angiographic procedure, which is a diagnostic imaging procedure, not a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is designed to deliver contrast media during an angiographic procedure. While angiography is a diagnostic procedure, the catheter itself is not performing the diagnostic function (i.e., it's not analyzing the data or making a diagnosis). It's a tool used in the process.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like polymer layers, stainless steel braid, atraumatic tip, and a polymer hub, indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also focus on mechanical and material properties.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the catheters are designed to "provide a pathway to be used for delivering contrast media to selected sites in the vascular system during an angiographic procedure." This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the vascular system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD. The testing described (mechanical, biocompatibility) is typical for medical devices used in vivo, not for diagnostic tests performed on samples.

Therefore, the Impulse™ and Expo™ Angiographic Catheters are medical devices used for a procedure within the body, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Mac McKeen:

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.
