Intended Use
The Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter is indicated for use with compatible catheters in facilitating the insertion and guidance of catheters into a selected blood vessel in the neurovascular system.
Device Description
The Delivery Catheter is a single-lumen, variable stiffness catheter with a flexible, tapered tip delineated by two radiopaque markers. The distal shaft of the Delivery Catheter has a hydrophilic coating. On the proximal end is a hypotube attached to a luer hub for guidewire introduction. This proximal hypotube includes a fluoro-saver marker indicating when the tip of the catheter is about to exit a long femoral sheath/guide. The devices are provided sterile and non-pyrogenic and are intended for single use only. During use, a standard neurovascular guidewire may be inserted through the Delivery Catheter. The Delivery Catheter is inserted through a compatible access catheter. The Delivery Catheter and access catheter are advanced to the targeted location under fluoroscopy using standard endovascular techniques.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and material properties of a catheter and does not mention any computational or algorithmic functions.

No
This device is described as a delivery catheter to facilitate the insertion and guidance of other catheters; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a delivery catheter used to guide other catheters into a blood vessel. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various material and structural components (single-lumen, variable stiffness, tapered tip, radiopaque markers, hydrophilic coating, hypotube, luer hub, fluoro-saver marker). The performance studies also focus on bench testing of physical properties and biocompatibility, not software validation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the insertion and guidance of catheters into blood vessels in the neurovascular system. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) during a medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the body. It mentions features like a flexible tip, radiopaque markers, a hydrophilic coating, and a luer hub for guidewire introduction. These are characteristics of a device used for direct intervention within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any interaction with bodily specimens or analysis performed outside the body.

Therefore, the Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Non-Clinical Testing

Biocompatibility Testing

The Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter is constructed using materials that are commonly used in the medical device industry. All patient contacting components have been evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing. The Route 92 Medical Access System is classified per ISO 10993-1 as externally communicating with limited circulating blood contact (≤ 24 hours). The following biocompatibility testing was performed for the predicate Route 92 Medical Access System (K180201) and leveraged from the predicate device submission to support the biocompatibility profile of the subject device because the subject Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter contains the same materials of construction, design, and manufacturing processes as the predicate device.

Hemocompatibility -
Partial Thromboplastin

anesthesia and study observation interval
without test article related complications.

increases in reversion rates of the type that
are associated with mutagenesis and no
substantial test article toxicity was noted that

considered non-mutagenic.
Genotoxicity - ISO In

Substantial Equivalence

The Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter has the same intended use, the same technological characteristics and same method of action as the predicate Route 92 Medical Access System. Therefore, based on the identical design and materials of construction between the subject and predicate devices and the completed non-clinical testing, the subject Route 92 Medical Delivery Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate Route 92 Medical Access System (K180201).
