More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and physical performance of a vascular graft, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
This device is a vascular graft, which is a type of prosthesis used for blood access, bypass, or reconstruction, directly treating or alleviating a medical condition.

No
The device is a vascular graft, intended for use as a prosthesis for blood access, bypass, or reconstruction of blood vessels. It is a treatment device, not one used to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical vascular graft constructed of ePTFE, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for use as vascular prostheses, specifically as subcutaneous arteriovenous conduits for blood access, bypass, or reconstruction of peripheral arterial blood vessels. This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical graft made of ePTFE, designed to be implanted.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is an implantable medical device used in vivo.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The proposed exGraft and exGraft Carbon ePTFE Vascular Grafts leverage historical data from the predicate and reference devices. In addition, the following testing was performed to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device: Kink Radius, Microscopic Porosity (Upper and Lower Limit), Water Entry Pressure, MRI Safety Evaluation.
Compared to the predicate device, the exGraft Carbon ePTFE Vascular Grafts has the same intended use and the technological differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on historical data and performance testing, the exGraft and exGraft Carbon are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”

Dear Doug Bernstein:

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
