No
The device is described as facilitating the placement of guidewires and other interventional devices, rather than directly treating a condition itself. It's a tool for accessing and preparing the site for therapeutic procedures like angioplasty or stenting.
No
The device is intended to facilitate the placement of guidewires and other interventional devices for therapeutic purposes, rather than to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with specific materials, dimensions, and components, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the XableCath Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for accessing and facilitating the placement of guidewires within the peripheral vasculature to treat stenotic lesions. This is a therapeutic and interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used within the peripheral vasculature, which is inside the patient's body.
- Intended User/Care Setting: The device is used by a physician in a hospital or lab/surgical suite setting, consistent with interventional procedures.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies describe clinical trials involving patients and the device's ability to cross lesions and enable subsequent therapy. This is typical for interventional devices.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The XableCath Catheter is an interventional device used inside the body for therapeutic purposes.

Summary of clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence or of clinical information:
No clinical tests were mandated, yet were performed on the subject product to verify actual performance of the device in real-world conditions, secondary to limitations of effective animal modeling for peripheral vascular disease. From real-world assessment. 49 patients underwent lesion modifying therapeutic intravascular treatment with XableCath Catheters for peripheral arterial disease re-canalization. Primary endpoint was successful passage within the target lesion, enabling subsequent therapy (angioplasty and/or stenting), whilst the secondary endpoint was absence of major adverse event attributable to XableCath Catheter product use (perforation, thrombosis, or distal embolization).
Treatment cohort demographics were 21 females (43%) and 28 males (57%). with a mean age of 71 years (range of 48-94 vears). Presenting comorbidities (at least one) within the population was 100%, with Diabetes Mellitus (25 (51%) being the most common. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) classification using the Rutherford Scale (1986, revised 1997) was applied, with Rutherford Class 3-4 in 29 (59%) of the cohort, and Rutherford Class 5-6 in 20 (41%) of the treatment population. The number of lesions treated were 52, associating >100 arterial segments traversed, with treated mean lesion length (cm) of targeted occlusions being 5.6cm. Additionally, vascular lesions treated included liac 8 (15%), Femoral – AK Popliteal 36 (68%), BK Popliteal 2 (4%), and Tibial 7 (13%), being those common as PAD therapeutic targets. Lesion characteristics were of an occlusive magnitude that wire and balloon passage was not possible in 15% and 73% of cases respectively, with 54% being Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) and 81% categorized as moderate/severe calcification.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
From these clinical applications, a 98% primary endpoint result was achieved with successful PTA/Stenting & technical success with lesion/claudication crossing. Additionally, 100% secondary endpoint achievement was attained, with routine minor dissection in 10% of treatment subjects experiencing an access site complication both being successfully treated with standard remedial maneuvers, without any residual clinical sequelae at 30 - 45-day post-treatment follow-up (5.6 week average). Of significance, none (0%) of the recorded minor adverse events were either caused by or attributable to the XableCath Crossing Catheter deployment.

XableCath Crossing Catheter Traditional 510(k), K183357
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- The subject and predicate devices have slightly differing distal tip configurations, unique to their particular design, . and overall product composition. Nevertheless, both product distal tip designs are intended to achieve the same outcomes and have been shown to be commensurate in performance through comparative assessment.
- . The predicate product contains an exterior hydrophilic coating over the distal length, whilst the subject product does not. Nevertheless, ease of insertion and tracking within applied models yields equivalent product delivery performance through comparative assessment.
- The subject and predicate products are offered in 0.014" workhorse models, whilst the subject product is also . offered in 0.018", and 0.035" versions as well.
Despite these noted differences between the subject and predicate products, these attributes are determined to be cumulatively insignificant and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness of these products as demonstrated through direct product comparative assessment.

Summary of clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence or of clinical information [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)]
No clinical tests were mandated, yet were performed on the subject product to verify actual performance of the device in real-world conditions, secondary to limitations of effective animal modeling for peripheral vascular disease. From real-world assessment. 49 patients underwent lesion modifying therapeutic intravascular treatment with XableCath Catheters for peripheral arterial disease re-canalization. Primary endpoint was successful passage within the target lesion, enabling subsequent therapy (angioplasty and/or stenting), whilst the secondary endpoint was absence of major adverse event attributable to XableCath Catheter product use (perforation, thrombosis, or distal embolization).
Treatment cohort demographics were 21 females (43%) and 28 males (57%). with a mean age of 71 years (range of 48-94 vears). Presenting comorbidities (at least one) within the population was 100%, with Diabetes Mellitus (25 (51%) being the most common. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) classification using the Rutherford Scale (1986, revised 1997) was applied, with Rutherford Class 3-4 in 29 (59%) of the cohort, and Rutherford Class 5-6 in 20 (41%) of the treatment population. The number of lesions treated were 52, associating >100 arterial segments traversed, with treated mean lesion length (cm) of targeted occlusions being 5.6cm. Additionally, vascular lesions treated included liac 8 (15%), Femoral – AK Popliteal 36 (68%), BK Popliteal 2 (4%), and Tibial 7 (13%), being those common as PAD therapeutic targets. Lesion characteristics were of an occlusive magnitude that wire and balloon passage was not possible in 15% and 73% of cases respectively, with 54% being Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) and 81% categorized as moderate/severe calcification.
From these clinical applications, a 98% primary endpoint result was achieved with successful PTA/Stenting & technical success with lesion/claudication crossing. Additionally, 100% secondary endpoint achievement was attained, with routine minor dissection in 10% of treatment subjects experiencing an access site complication both being successfully treated with standard remedial maneuvers, without any residual clinical sequelae at 30 - 45-day post-treatment follow-up (5.6 week average). Of significance, none (0%) of the recorded minor adverse events were either caused by or attributable to the XableCath Crossing Catheter deployment. In addition, human factors engineering and usability assessments were performed to ensure subject product features could be safely and effectively used.
Conclusions drawn [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
Based upon the overlapping intended use, basal product designs, methods of deployment, target population and anatomical site overlap, and direct bench comparative assessment, the preponderance within this pre-market notification application demonstrates the XableCath Crossing Catheter is shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Furthermore, the XableCath Crossing Catheter raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared directly to the predicate device, and is therefore justifiably concluded to be substantially equivalent for declared intended use.
