Intended Use
The Tractus CSC is intended to be used during interventional procedures in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures to support a guidewire and facilitate access in discrete regions, allow for guidewire exchanges, and provide a conduit for delivering saline solutions and contrast media.
Device Description
The CSC consists of a family of single-lumen, over-the-wire catheters offered in a variety of sizes for compatibility with a range of guidewire as well as effective lengths. The catheters are used to navigate tortuous peripheral and coronary vasculatures while providing axial stability to enhance quidewire crossing of discrete lesions of the vasculature. The catheters are also used to allow for guidewire exchanges, and provide a conduit for delivering saline solutions and contrast media.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and physical properties of a catheter, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing beyond standard functional testing.

No
The device aids in interventional procedures by supporting guidewires, facilitating access, and delivering solutions, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition. Its function is primarily supportive and diagnostic (delivery of contrast media).

No

The device is a support catheter intended to facilitate access and delivery of substances during interventional procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a family of single-lumen, over-the-wire catheters, which are physical hardware components used in interventional procedures. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and functionality of the catheter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during interventional procedures within the body (coronary and peripheral vasculatures) to support guidewires, facilitate access, and deliver substances. This is an in vivo application, not an in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description of the catheter and its function aligns with a device used directly within the patient's circulatory system.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. Its purpose is procedural support and delivery.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites are within the living body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional characteristics of the catheter for its intended in vivo use (biocompatibility, thromboresistance, trackability, etc.). There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or performance with biological samples.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Tractus CSC does not fit this description.

Dear Janice Hogan:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

TOTAL across™ (K133539) (Reference Predicate)

PrimiTM Support Catheter (K132701) (Reference Predicate)

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Tractus CSC is intended to be used during interventional procedures in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures to support a guidewire and facilitate access in discrete regions, allow for guidewire exchanges, and provide a conduit for delivering saline solutions and contrast media.

Device Description

The CSC consists of a family of single-lumen, over-the-wire catheters offered in a variety of sizes for compatibility with a range of guidewire as well as effective lengths. The catheters are used to navigate tortuous peripheral and coronary vasculatures while providing axial stability to enhance quidewire crossing of discrete lesions of the vasculature. The catheters are also used to allow for guidewire exchanges, and provide a conduit for delivering saline solutions and contrast media.

Technological Characteristics

The CSC has similar technological characteristics as its predicate devices. Both the CSC and the primary predicate are single lumen, over-the-wire catheters that include a luer hub to allow for flushing of saline solutions and contrast media. Both the CSC and primary predicate facilitate guidewire exchanges and are compatible with 0.018" guidewires for use in the peripheral and coronary vasculatures under fluoroscopy with 4F sheaths. Furthermore, both the CSC and the primary predicate allow for device visualization using 3 visual bands and feature tapered distal tips.

The overall construction of both the CSC and the primary predicate are similar. Both catheters consist of an outer, inner, and center tubing configuration. The outer tubing of both the subject device and primary predicate consist of Pebax with hydrophilic coating on the distal end to reduce frictional forces and enhance tracking. The inner tubing of both the subject device and the primary predicate is a PTFE liner. Further, the material composition of the center tubing for both the subject and primary predicate is the same (i.e. stainless steel), with slightly different configurations (spiral laser cut versus braided). Despite this difference in configuration the principle of operation is the same. Furthermore, the spiral laser cut inner tubing design of the subject device has been cleared for the TOTAL across reference predicate (K133539) which was also cleared for substantially the same indications for use as the subject device.

The overall dimensions of the subject device and the primary predicate are similar. The subject device has slightly longer working length range than the primary predicate (90 – 170 cm for the subject device versus 90 - 150 cm for the primary predicate). However, similar working lengths have been cleared for the Primi Catheter reference predicate (90 cm to 170 cm) which was cleared for a nearly identical indication for use compared to the subject device.

Both the subject device and the primary predicate are provided sterile via EO sterilization and are non-pyrogenic. Further, both devices are packaged in Tyvek pouches.

Therefore, the subject CSC has very similar technological characteristics as the primary predicate, as well as the reference devices.

Performance Data

The following nonclinical performance testing has been conducted to support the substantial equivalence of the CSC to its predicate devices. In all instances, the CSC functioned as intended.

  • . Biocompatibility of the patient-contacting components of the device was established in accordance with ISO 10993.

Substantial Equivalence

The CSC has the same intended use as the primary predicate device and substantially the same indications for use as the reference devices. The subject device also has similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate devices. Minor differences, including device sizing, materials, number and location of radiopaque markers, do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness and performance testing demonstrated that the subject device performs in a substantially equivalent manner. Therefore, the subject CSC is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

Conclusions

Tractus Vascular LLC's CSC is a Percutaneous Catheter, Class II device that has been evaluated in nonclinical testing in accordance with FDA's recognized standards and preestablished acceptance criteria. Testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The CSC is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
