No
The description focuses on a physical device (ablation kit) and its clinical performance, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as being "intended for use in the treatment of superficial vein reflux" and for "the treatment of incompetence and reflux of superficial veins in the lower extremity, and for the treatment of incompetent (i.e. refluxing) perforator veins (IPVs)," which are all explicit therapeutic purposes.
No.
The device is intended for treatment (ablation) of superficial vein reflux and incompetent perforator veins, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the kit includes physical components such as a fiber, needle, introducer sheath/dilator, and guidewire, which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed on the patient's body to treat superficial vein reflux and incompetent perforator veins. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The device is a kit containing components for an endovascular laser treatment (EVLT) procedure, which involves inserting a fiber into a vein to ablate it. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The device is used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition by examining samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Clinical Study: The clinical study described evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the device in treating patients, not its performance in a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The 400μm Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit is used to treat patients with varicose veins. Varicose veins are large, twisted, visibly bulging veins usually located in the legs. Varicose Veins occur when either the blood flow is too slow or valves are not functioning correctly resulting in "pile-up" of blood within the lower extremity veins. AngioDynamics proposes that this include the Incompetent Perforator Veins (IPVs). The 400um Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit is provided in a procedure kit which includes a 400μm Fiber along with the following accessory components:
- 21G Entry Needle
- . 4F Introducer Sheath/Dilator
- 0.018" Guidewire ●
The 400μm Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit is presented sterile and contains all of the accessories needed to perform the EVLT procedure, with the exception of generic disposable items routinely found in a well-equipped minor treatment room such as drapes, swabs, bandages etc.

Summary of Performance Studies
The performance evaluation of the proposed 400μm Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit is centered around the clinical study 'SECURE Study', which was performed in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in accordance to the international standard AAMI/ANSI/ISO 14155:2011 – "Clinical Investigation of Medical Devices for Human Subjects: Good Clinical Practice".
The SECURE STUDY was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 400um Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit when used to treat Incompetent Perforator Veins (IPVs). This was a singlearm, prospective, multi-center, non-blinded clinical trial. The study population included patients diagnosed with perforating vein insufficiency who were deemed by their treating clinician to be eligible for treatment by endovascular ablation.
Sample Size: 125 treated IPVs for the primary endpoint. Number of Patients: 11, 29, 9, 13, 11, 4, 6 across 7 sites.
Key Results: For the primary endpoint of "acute primary ablation success," 96 of 125 treated IPVs (ITT Population) at the 10-day visit met the primary endpoint of acute primary ablation success, for a success rate of 76.8%. In the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model specified in the protocol and used to evaluate the primary endpoint, this resulted in a 76.9% model success rate, statistically significantly above the performance goal of 70% (p=0.033).
Adverse Events (Safety Population): A total of 6 adverse events were reported, including deep vein thrombosis; venous thrombosis limb; thrombophlebitis superficial; skin ulcer; wound; procedural pain.
Key Metrics
Acute primary ablation success rate: 76.8% (ITT Population), 76.9% (model success rate). P-value for statistical significance above performance goal of 70% was 0.033.

H. PERFORMANCE DATA
standard, including:
The performance evaluation of the proposed 400μm Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit is centered around the clinical study 'SECURE Study', which was performed in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and in accordance to the international standard AAMI/ANSI/ISO 14155:2011 – "Clinical Investigation of Medical Devices for Human Subjects: Good Clinical Practice". Furthermore, the proposed 400µm Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit has demonstrated successful results based upon the conclusions of the clinical testing per the above guidance and
- . Primary objective of acute primary ablation success; and,
- Secondary objectives to evaluate the post-procedural clinical outcomes. ●
I. CLINICAL STUDY (For Perforator Study)
The SECURE STUDY was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 400um Perforator and Accessory Vein Ablation Kit when used to treat Incompetent Perforator Veins (IPVs). This was a singlearm, prospective, multi-center, non-blinded clinical trial. The study population included patients diagnosed with perforating vein insufficiency who were deemed by their treating clinician to be eligible for treatment by endovascular ablation. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the VenaCure EVLT 400 µm Fiber Procedure Kit when used to treat Incompetent Perforator Veins (IPVs). For the primary endpoint of "acute primary ablation success," 96 of 125 treated IPVs (ITT Population) at the 10-day visit met the primary endpoint of acute primary ablation success, for a success rate of 76.8%. In the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model specified in the protocol and used to evaluate the primary endpoint, this resulted in a 76.9% model success rate, statistically significantly above the performance goal of 70% (p=0.033). The table below provides details of the SECURE STUDY.
| Intent to Treat (ITT) Set | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Site | Number of Patients | Number of IPVs Treated | Number of IPV Successes Range of % Success |
| 100 | 11 | 11 | 2 – 43 |
| 28.6 – 100.0% | |||
| 101 | 29 | 56 | |
| 102 | 9 | 11 | |

Adverse Events (Safety Population)
A total of 6 adverse events were reported during this clinical study, that were either procedure and/or device related. They include the following: deep vein thrombosis; venous thrombosis limb; thrombophlebitis superficial; skin ulcer; wound; procedural pain.
J. CONCLUSION
Based upon successful results of clinical testing, in addition to the responses to questions posed within FDA's 510(k) Decision-Making Tree, the proposed device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
