No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a physical catheter and its accessories, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for the removal of emboli and thrombi, which directly treats a medical condition (vascular obstruction).
No
The device is described as an aspiration catheter used for the removal of emboli and thrombi, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter and associated hardware accessories (syringes, stopcock, extension tube, needle, filter caps). The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biological interactions of the hardware components. There is no mention of any software component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used for the "removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the coronary and peripheral vasculature system." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical intervention within the circulatory system, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and biological properties of the catheter and its ability to perform the intended therapeutic function (extraction rate, tensile strength, biocompatibility, etc.). These are not studies related to diagnostic testing of biological samples.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Aspiron(TM) Aspiration Catheter is a dual lumen, rapid exchange catheter consisting of a distal tip, distal shaft, and proximal shaft with luer hub at the proximal end. The smaller of the two lumens is the Guide wire lumen (distal tip) and is compatible with 0.014" (0.36mm) guide wires. The larger diameter lumen is the extraction lumen and when used with the Aspiron(TM) accessories, allows for removal of thrombus. The extraction lumen is provided pre-loaded with a stylet that resists kinking during delivery. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal shaft. The Aspiron(TM) is compatible with 6F guide catheters and has a working length of 140cm. The Aspiron(TM) accessories include 30ml suction syringes, a one way stopcock, an extension tube, a flushing needle and 70μm filter caps.

Dear Mr. Oktay:
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

5.4 Device information:
Proprietary Name: Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter Common / Usual Name: Aspiration Thrombectomy Catheter Classification Name: Embolectomy Catheter (21 CFR 870.5150, Product Code QEZ) Device Class: Class II
5.5 Predicate device:
- . Export Advance™ Aspiration Catheter (K152335)
5.6 Device description:
The Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter is a dual lumen, rapid exchange catheter consisting of a distal tip, distal shaft, and proximal shaft with luer hub at the proximal end. The smaller of the two lumens is the Guide wire lumen (distal tip) and is compatible with 0.014" (0.36mm) guide wires. The larger diameter lumen is the extraction lumen and when used with the Aspiron™ accessories, allows for removal of thrombus. The extraction lumen is provided pre-loaded with a stylet that resists kinking during delivery. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal shaft. The Aspiron™ is compatible with 6F guide catheters and has a working length of 140cm. The Aspiron™ accessories include 30ml suction syringes, a one way stopcock, an extension tube, a flushing needle and 70μm filter caps.
5.7 Indication for use:
The Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter is used for removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the coronary and peripheral vasculature system.

5.8 Comparison of Technological characteristics:
The Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter is similar to the predicate devices with respect to device design, materials and method of sterilization.
Comparative testing between the Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter and Export Advance™ Aspiration Catheter found similar performance characteristics with respect to Catheter Extraction Rate, Tensile strength and Radiopacity.
The Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter indication differs from the predicate Export Advance™ Aspiration Catheter in that the Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter is limited to removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels. This difference does not raise new concerns because the more limited use of the Aspiron™ Aspiration Catheter is a more conservative indication.
