Intended Use
The GORE® Molding and Occlusion Balloon Catheter is intended for temporary occlusion of large vessels or to assist in the expansion of selfexpanding endovascular prostheses (stent grafts).
Device Description
The GORE® Molding and Occlusion Balloon Catheter is a sterile (EtO), single use, single-lobed polyurethane balloon catheter. The compliant polyurethane balloon is mounted on the leading end of a 3 lumen catheter shaft (two inflation lumens and one quidewire lumen). Termination of the leading end of the catheter is an atraumatic catheter leading tip for smooth transition from the quidewire to catheter transition. Radiopaque markers (approximately 40 mm apart) indicate the proximal and distal end of the balloon which aid in proper balloon placement under fluoroscopy. Both of the (2) inflation lumens are in communication with each end of the balloon to facilitate balloon catheter preparation, inflation and deflation. At the trailing end of the balloon catheter is a dual port (balloon inflation and quidewire) yarm. The inflation port of the y-arm is in communication with both of the balloon inflation lumens and is affixed with a luer lock and three way stopcock via an extension tube. The quidewire lumen of the v-arm allows introduction of a 0.035" (0.89 mm) diameter guidewire for over-the-wire access. The trailing end of the quidewire lumen is affixed with a flushing / guidewire port with luer lock used for flushing the guidewire lumen. The balloon catheter proximal y-arm is provided within a housing which contains markings of the balloon length and inflation range diameter. The balloon can be inflated to diameters of 10 mm to a maximum inflation diameter of 37 mm. The balloon catheter profile is 10 Fr introducer sheath compatible.

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

Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat a disease, injury, or medical condition. This device is intended for temporary occlusion of large vessels or to assist in the expansion of self-expanding endovascular prostheses, which are procedures rather than treatments for a specific disease or condition. While it has a medical purpose, it's an interventional tool rather than a therapeutic device in itself.

No
The device is described as being for "temporary occlusion of large vessels or to assist in the expansion of selfexpanding endovascular prostheses (stent grafts)," which are therapeutic, not diagnostic, actions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical balloon catheter with lumens, a guidewire, and radiopaque markers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "temporary occlusion of large vessels or to assist in the expansion of self-expanding endovascular prostheses (stent grafts)." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to treat a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is a medical device used for intervention, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to provide information about a patient's health status through testing of samples.

Therefore, the GORE® Molding and Occlusion Balloon Catheter is a medical device used for therapeutic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Jeremiah Andrews:

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.

Device Description

The GORE® Molding and Occlusion Balloon Catheter is a sterile (EtO), single use, single-lobed polyurethane balloon catheter. The compliant polyurethane balloon is mounted on the leading end of a 3 lumen catheter shaft (two inflation lumens and one quidewire lumen). Termination of the leading end of the catheter is an atraumatic catheter leading tip for smooth transition from the quidewire to catheter transition. Radiopaque markers (approximately 40 mm apart) indicate the proximal and distal end of the balloon which aid in proper balloon placement under fluoroscopy. Both of the (2) inflation lumens are in communication with each end of the balloon to facilitate balloon catheter preparation, inflation and deflation. At the trailing end of the balloon catheter is a dual port (balloon inflation and quidewire) yarm. The inflation port of the y-arm is in communication with both of the balloon inflation lumens and is affixed with a luer lock and three way stopcock via an extension tube. The quidewire lumen of the v-arm allows introduction of a 0.035" (0.89 mm) diameter guidewire for over-the-wire access. The trailing end of the quidewire lumen is affixed with a flushing / guidewire port with luer lock used for flushing the guidewire lumen. The balloon catheter proximal y-arm is provided within a housing which contains markings of the balloon length and inflation range diameter. The balloon can be inflated to diameters of 10 mm to a maximum inflation diameter of 37 mm. The balloon catheter profile is 10 Fr introducer sheath compatible.

Indications for Use

The GORE® Molding and Occlusion Balloon Catheter is intended for temporary occlusion of large vessels or to assist in the expansion of selfexpanding endovascular prostheses (stent grafts).

Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics
