Intended Use
The React™ 68 Catheter is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The React™ 68 Catheter is a single lumen, flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter with a nitinol structure that is jacketed with a durable polymer outer layer. A lubricous, polytetrafluoroethylene liner is used to create a structure that has both proximal stiffness and distal flexibility, and an encapsulated radiopaque distal platinum-iridium markerband which is used for visualization under fluoroscopy. The React™ 68 Catheter is introduced into the vasculature through the split y-introducer sheath. The proximal end of the React™ 68 Catheter is designed with a thermoplastic elastomer strain relief and a clear hub. The React™ 68 Catheter is designed with a hydrophilic coating.

No
The description focuses on the physical properties and materials of a catheter, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No

The device is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices, rather than performing a therapeutic function itself.

No

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states the device is for "introduction of interventional devices," which is a therapeutic or access function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with various material components and structural features, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the React™ 68 Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, with features like a lumen, flexibility, radiopacity for visualization under fluoroscopy, and a hydrophilic coating. These are characteristics of an invasive medical device used for access and delivery, not for in vitro testing.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Peripheral and neuro vasculature," which are parts of the circulatory system within the body. IVD devices typically analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside the body.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique used to visualize structures within the body in real-time. IVD devices do not typically rely on this type of imaging.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are bench tests evaluating the physical and functional characteristics of the catheter itself (e.g., tip buckling, kink resistance, coating lubricity, tensile strength). These are relevant to the safety and performance of an invasive device, not the analytical performance of an IVD.

In summary, the React™ 68 Catheter is a medical device designed for use within the body to facilitate interventional procedures in the vasculature. This aligns with the definition of an invasive medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ryan Kenney:

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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);

Performance Data - Animal:

Not Applicable. A determination of substantial equivalence is based upon successful completion of non-clinical bench testing as there is no change to the intended use or fundamental scientific technology.

Performance Data - Clinical:

Not Applicable. A determination of substantial equivalence is based upon successful completion of non-clinical bench testing as there is no change to the intended use or fundamental scientific technology.

Conclusion:

The design modifications incorporated do not alter the intended use or fundamental scientific technology.

Non-clinical bench testing supports a determination that the subject React™ 68 Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
