Intended Use
The CerusEndo Microcatheter is intended for general intravascular use to deliver therapeutic devices to the peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature.
Device Description
The subject device is a microcatheter available in three versions: a 150 cm length microcatheter with a 15 cm length distal segment; a 150 cm length microcatheter with a 34 cm length distal segment; and a 160 cm length microcatheter with a 42 cm length distal segment. The distal segment of the catheter is flexible to facilitate access into tortuous anatomy, and the distal tip of the catheter is formable, allowing the physician to shape it according to the needs of the procedure at the point of use. The CerusEndo Microcatheter has a hydrophilic coating, radiopaque marker, Luer hub on the proximal end, polymer tapered shaft construction, stainless steel reinforced shaft, and Teflon lined inner lumen. The subject device is controlled by user manipulation to access discrete locations within the vascular anatomy. It is intended to deliver other interventional or therapeutic devices through its inner lumen. It is designed to be used in peripheral, coronary, and neurovascular locations.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and mechanical function of a microcatheter for delivering other devices. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

No
The device is described as delivering therapeutic devices, not being a therapeutic device itself. Its function is to facilitate access and delivery of other devices.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is to "deliver therapeutic devices" and "deliver other interventional or therapeutic devices through its inner lumen." This indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical microcatheter with various hardware components (shaft, lumen, coating, marker, hub, etc.) and mentions bench testing for physical properties. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver therapeutic devices to the peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a therapeutic purpose, not a device used outside the body to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels to deliver other devices. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the CerusEndo Microcatheter is an interventional medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Theresa Brandner:

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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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
