Intended Use
The Transseptal Needle is used to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure to gain left heart access. The Transseptal Needle is intended for single use only.
Device Description
The Transseptal Needle consists of a stainless-steel needle and stylet. The needle comes in three lengths equivalent to the lengths of a conventional Brockenbrough (BRK) needle (predicate) - 71cm, 89cm, and 98cm, and two curves, Curve0 and Curve1. The needle size is 18 gauge with an inner diameter of .033" at the proximal body and necks down to 21 gauge with an inner diameter of .018" at the distal end, terminating with an angled tip. The components of the Transseptal Needle include the Transseptal Needle and Stylet, and sterile packaging and labeling. There are six model numbers for the Transseptal Needle, TSN071, TSN089, TSN098, TSN171, TSN189, and TSN198. The Transseptal Needle is sterilized by 100% ethylene oxide cycle and is for single-use only. The Transseptal Needle is used in a healthcare facility/hospital. The Transseptal needle is used in transseptal procedures to puncture the fossa ovalis and gain access to the left atrium through the right side of the heart. The device is used by inserting the device through a transseptal dilator and sheath assembly. The devices are inserted in the femoral vein. The Transseptal needle tip is able to perforate through the fossa ovalis, a thin wall between the right and left atrium. The needle's duration in the body is less than 24 hours.
More Information

The requested information is not present in the input. The input text is "Not Found" which explicitly states that the information is not available.

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a simple needle, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or cures a disease or condition. This device is used to puncture the interatrial septum to gain left heart access, which is a procedural step, not a treatment in itself.

No

The device is a surgical tool used to puncture an anatomical structure for access, not to obtain or analyze information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a stainless-steel needle and stylet, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure to gain left heart access. This is a surgical/interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a needle and stylet designed for physical penetration of tissue.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by physically puncturing the fossa ovalis.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The device is used to facilitate a procedure, not to analyze a sample from the body to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The device is clearly an invasive surgical/interventional device used for accessing a specific anatomical location within the body.

Description of the Devices

The Transseptal Needle consists of a stainless-steel needle and stylet. The needle comes in three lengths equivalent to the lengths of a conventional Brockenbrough (BRK) needle (predicate) - 71cm, 89cm, and 98cm, and two curves, Curve0 and Curve1. The needle size is 18 gauge with an inner diameter of .033" at the proximal body and necks down to 21 gauge with an inner diameter of .018" at the distal end, terminating with an angled tip. The components of the Transseptal Needle include the Transseptal Needle and Stylet, and sterile packaging and labeling. There are six model numbers for the Transseptal Needle, TSN071, TSN089, TSN098, TSN171, TSN189, and TSN198. The Transseptal Needle is sterilized by 100% ethylene oxide cycle and is for single-use only. The Transseptal Needle is used in a healthcare facility/hospital.

The Transseptal needle is used in transseptal procedures to puncture the fossa ovalis and gain access to the left atrium through the right side of the heart. The device is used by inserting the device through a transseptal dilator and sheath assembly. The devices are inserted in the femoral vein. The Transseptal needle tip is able to perforate through the fossa ovalis, a thin wall between the right and left atrium. The needle's duration in the body is less than 24 hours.

Indications for Use

The Transseptal Needle is used to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure to gain left heart access. The Transseptal Needle is intended for single use only.

The Indications for Use statement for the Transseptal Needle device is identical to the predicate device. Both devices have the same intended use and are used to create the primary puncture in the interatrial septum. The devices are used in conjunction with a transseptal dilator and sheath. Both devices are used to cross the septum and provide access to the left side of the hearth from the right side.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The technological characteristics of this device are similar to the predicate device. The main difference between the subject device and the predicate device is the orientation of the bevel.

4

The proposed device has a reverse bevel. The subject and predicate device are based on the following technological elements:

  • Smooth inner diameter so quidewires can pass through the body of the devices smoothly ●
  • . Devices are inserted through the transseptal dilator and sheath assembly so that it can be used in the transseptal procedure
  • Devices come in 71, 89, and 98cm lengths ●
  • Both have stylet wire that come in 76cm, 94cm, and 103cm lengths
  • Devices come in two curves, Curve0 and Curve1
  • Devices assembled through the transseptal introducer system match curve shapes ●
  • Puncture force of the Transseptal needle is equivalent to the puncture force of the BRK . transseptal needle

The following are technological modifications to the predicate device:

  • Needle tip has a reverse bevel
  • Hub is clear instead of stainless steel so that it is lighter and allows visualization of the ● introduction of devices
  • . Stylet handle is a male luer lock cap
  • Stylet wire diameter is .015" diameter compared to .0135" diameter for the predicate ● device
  • . Transseptal Needle is a non-skiving device

Performance Testing

The following performance tests were performed in support of the substantial equivalence to the predicate:

  • Visual and dimensional inspection ●
  • Particulate testing (USP, Light Obscuration Method)
  • Mating Joint Pull test (Handle to Hub) ●
  • Guidewire Restriction Inspection ●
  • Strength of Union Cannula Hub and Cannula .
  • Needle Point Inspection
  • . Hub Female Luer Taper
  • Water Leak Testing ●
  • . Air Leak Testing
  • . Packaging Testing

Biocompatibility Data

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Transseptal Needle was conducted in accordance with FDA 510(k) Memorandum- #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," June 16, 2016, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by the FDA. The following tests were performed:

  • ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-10 Sensitization ●
  • ISO 10993-10 Irritation/Intracutaneous Reactivity ●
  • ISO 10993-11 Acute Systemic Toxicity ●
  • ISO 10993-11 Pyrogenicity
  • ISO 10993-3 Genotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-4 Hemocompatibility ASTM Hemolysis Complete ●
  • ISO 10993-4 Hemocompatibility Complement Activation Complete with C3a & SC5b-9 .

The Transseptal Needle is considered an external communicating device with a circulating blood path and limited exposure (less than 24 hours). The Transseptal Needle met the requirements set forth in ISO-10993.

5

Conclusion

When compared to the predicate device, the Transseptal Needle is substantially equivalent in design, technological characteristics, materials and performance testing.
