Intended Use
The Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices.
Device Description
The St Jude Medical Nanostim Introducer Kit is designed to perform as a quiding sheath for introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices. The Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is comprised of an introducer sheath and a dilator. The Introducer Kit is compatible with 0.035" and 0.038" guidewires and is available in 18F and one length of 30 cm. The introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize air introduction during insertion and/or exchange, and a sideport with a three-way stopcock. The introducer features a radiopaque tip marker incorporated within the sheath material to identify the location of the distal tip of the sheath. Design modifications were made to the current design to improve the manufacturability and to increase the product shelf life. The changes made to the Nanostim Introducer Kit do not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a standard introducer kit, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
This device is an introducer kit designed to facilitate the insertion of other diagnostic and interventional devices, rather than directly treating a condition itself.

No.

The device is an introducer kit designed to provide a conduit for other devices, including diagnostic ones, but it does not perform diagnostic functions itself.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (introducer sheath, dilator, hemostasis valve, sideport, stopcock, radiopaque tip marker) and mentions manufacturing and physical testing (tensile strength, torsional strength, liquid leak, simulated use), indicating it is 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 "provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices." This describes a tool used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate other procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical introducer sheath and dilator designed to be inserted into the venous system. It mentions features like a hemostasis valve and sideport, which are characteristic of devices used for vascular access.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, urine, or tissue. It does not describe any reagents, assays, or analytical processes typically associated with IVDs.

Therefore, the Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is a medical device used for vascular access and delivery of other devices within the patient's body, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples outside the body.

Dear Mr. Labay:

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.

Summary of Technological Characteristics in Comparison to Predicate Device:

The modified device and the predicate device (K140793) have the same indication for use, technological characteristics and performance. Both the subject device and predicate device are intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices. The minor differences in design to improve manufacturability and to increase the product shelf life do not alter the intended patient or clinical effect, and, therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Nanostim Introducer Kit (K140793) with respect to indications, design, and function. There are no technological characteristics that raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.
