Intended Use
The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is intended to endoscopically dilate strictures of the trachea and bronchi.
Device Description
The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is a multi-lumen catheter with a dilation balloon on the distal tip. The catheter is designed to pass through the working channel of an endoscope and accept a 0.035 in (0.89 mm) guidewire through its guidewire lumen. Two redundant inflation lumens are used to inflate and deflate the dilation balloon. The dilation balloon will be available in a 7.5F catheter with a length of 100 cm, balloon lengths of 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm or 5.5 cm and in six balloon diameter ranges from 6 mm to 20 mm. Each balloon size will inflate to three different diameters for the specified inflation pressures. The balloon will be identifiable with both endoscopic and radiopaque marker bands. A glow-in-the-dark tag that can be read in low light conditions is attached to the catheter shaft. The tag indicates diameter and corresponding pressure of the balloon. The balloon will be available in eleven configurations of multiple lengths and diameters. The balloon will be identifiable with both endoscopic and fluoroscopic markers and will be provided sterile.
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes.
The device is intended to endoscopically dilate strictures of the trachea and bronchi, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is a treatment device, specifically a balloon catheter used for dilating strictures in the trachea and bronchi. Its purpose is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, lumens, guidewire compatibility, and various physical characteristics and performance testing related to hardware. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is a device used inside the body (in vivo) to physically dilate strictures in the trachea and bronchi. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "to endoscopically dilate strictures," which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and function of a catheter used for dilation, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Sterilization Validation:
The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter will be sterilized using a validated 100% ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization process that is also used for other devices manufactured by Merit, including the predicate device. The EO sterilization cycles employed by Merit Medical are validated by the half cycle / over-kill approach and meet the requirements of ISO 11135:2014. Validation and annual revalidation have demonstrated a robust program that exceeds the minimum sterility assurance level of 10-6 as well as limiting residual sterilant levels to within limits established in EN ISO 10993-7:2008. Biological indicators, which are included with each sterilization lot, are sterility tested as part of the product release process.

Shelf Life Validation:
Merit determines shelf life for the packaging and device based on accelerated aging studies conducted according to the Arrhenius Model (Q10). An initial shelf life of 6 months was selected for the subject Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter based on the results of the accelerated aging studies. These studies were performed according to approved protocols and procedures following EO sterilization. The accelerated aging testing supported a 6-month shelf life of the product. Upon successful completion of requisite accelerated aging studies, the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter may be labeled with a longer shelf life. Accelerated aging will be supported by real time aging studies which are ongoing.

Packaging Performance:
Sterile barrier maintenance was tested after exposure to simulated transportation and storage conditions up to 3 years of accelerated and real time aging. All samples tested passed the tests listed below.

  • Seal Peel Strength
  • Burst Strength
  • Visual Inspection
  • Bubble Emission
  • Dye Penetration

Biocompatibility:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 and International Standard ISO 10993-1. The battery of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • Irritation

The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is a multi-lumen catheter with a dilation balloon on the distal tip. The catheter is designed to pass through the working channel of an endoscope and accept a 0.035 in (0.89 mm) guidewire through its guidewire lumen. Two redundant inflation lumens are used to inflate and deflate the dilation balloon.

The dilation balloon will be available in a 7.5F catheter with a length of Device 100 cm, balloon lengths of 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm or 5.5 cm and in six balloon Description diameter ranges from 6 mm to 20 mm. Each balloon size will inflate to three different diameters for the specified inflation pressures. The balloon will be identifiable with both endoscopic and radiopaque marker bands. A glow-in-the-dark tag that can be read in low light conditions is attached to the catheter shaft. The tag indicates diameter and corresponding pressure of the balloon.

The balloon will be available in eleven configurations of multiple lengths and diameters. The balloon will be identifiable with both endoscopic and fluoroscopic markers and will be provided sterile.

Comparison to Predicate Device

The Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter has the same technological features as the CRE™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilatation Catheter by Boston Scientific Co.( K023337). Both balloons are multistage that come in three distinct diameters ranging from 6 to 20 mm for six balloon sizes. Both catheters pass through a minimum 2.8 mm working channel endoscope. Both systems utilize a 0.035 inch floppy tip quidewire. The balloons for the CRE™ Balloon and the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter are both manufactured from Pebax material. The primary differences are that the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is available in 2.0 cm, 3.0 cm and 5.5 cm balloon length sizes where the CRE™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilatation Cather has only the 5.5 cm and 3.0 cm sizes and the catheter length for the Elation™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilation Catheter is 100 cm instead of the 75 cm length for which the CRE™ Pulmonary Balloon Dilatation Catheter is available.
