More Information

No
The summary describes a pressure monitoring sensor and its function in measuring cardiac output. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The performance studies focus on comparing the device to predicates and evaluating pressure accuracy and MRI compatibility, not AI/ML performance metrics.

No.

The device is for monitoring intravascular pressure and cardiac output, not for treating a condition or disease.

Yes

The devices are indicated for intravascular pressure monitoring and cardiac output measurement, which are used to assess a patient's physiological state and diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the FloTrac and VolumeView sensors are "sterile, single use devices" and "monitors pressures when attached to pressure monitoring catheters," indicating they are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the FloTrac and VolumeView sensors are not IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) devices.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intravascular pressure monitoring" and "to measure cardiac output" using arterial pressure. This involves monitoring physiological parameters directly within the body (in vivo), not analyzing samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description states they "monitors pressures when attached to pressure monitoring catheters" and "providing cardiac output measurements when connect to compatible Edwards monitoring systems." This reinforces their function as in vivo monitoring devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or the detection of specific analytes within those samples, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

In summary, these devices are designed for direct physiological monitoring within a patient's bloodstream, not for testing samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Performance testing was conducted to compare the proposed device(s) to the predicate device(s). The results of performance testing indicate that the scientific technology and materials of the proposed devices are unchanged from the legally marketed device(s) (predicate).
The Flotrac and VolumeView Sensors have successfully passed functional performance testing post MRI exposure. This testing included pressure accuracy (nonlinearity and hysteresis).

§ 870.2850 Extravascular blood pressure transducer.

(a)
Identification. An extravascular blood pressure transducer is a device used to measure blood pressure by changes in the mechanical or electrical properties of the device. The proximal end of the transducer is connected to a pressure monitor that produces an analog or digital electrical signal related to the electrical or mechanical changes produced in the transducer.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Andrew 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 or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

1

the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
