The summary describes a mechanical pump system for counter-pulsation therapy and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is described as providing "counter-pulsation therapy" and "hemodynamic support of blood pressure and reduced cardiac work" for specific medical conditions, which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is to provide counter-pulsation therapy and hemodynamic support (treatment), not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a pump control/display module, a pneumatic drive module, and the intra-aortic balloon catheter itself. While software is mentioned for verification and validation, the core functionality relies on physical hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump is a therapeutic device that provides mechanical support to the heart and circulatory system by physically manipulating blood flow within the aorta. It does not analyze biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat conditions like Acute Coronary Syndrome and Heart Failure by improving hemodynamic function, not to diagnose them through laboratory analysis.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical pump and balloon catheter system that interacts directly with the patient's circulatory system, not with in vitro samples.
Therefore, the AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The AC3™ Series IABP System provides counter-pulsation therapy to adult patients with impaired left ventricular (LV) function. It provides hemodynamic support of blood pressure and reduced cardiac work through volume displacement principles. The IABP is attached to an intra-aortic balloon catheter which is inserted into the femoral artery and positioned in the descending thoracic aorta.
The IABP delivers Helium (HE) into the IAB catheter during diastole to displace blood above and below the IAB, increasing blood pressure and perfusion to organs close to the IAB catheter. The IABP deflates or removes HE from the IAB catheter just prior to or in the early phase of systole, reducing the pressure in the aorta and therefore the pressure the LV must generate to open the aortic valve and eject its contents into the circulatory system. This results in a decrease in work and oxygen demand.
The AC3™ Series IABP System consists of two main components:
- The pump control/display module which incorporates a touch screen and keypad for system operation, and
- The pneumatic drive module which is incorporated into the body of the device
The AC3™ Series IABP is designed to be used with 30, 35, 40 and 50cc Intra-aortic balloons with the appropriate connectors.
The AC3™ Series IABP System offers two modes of operation:
- Autopilot Mode, where most functions are automatically selected and controlled by the IABP
- Operator Mode, where an operator can control most settings and selections.

§ 870.3535 Intra-aortic balloon and control system.
(a)
Identification. An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device;
(ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed;
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components;
(v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976.

The AC3™ Series IABP System offers two modes of operation:
- Autopilot Mode, where most functions are automatically selected and controlled by the . IABP
- Operator Mode, where an operator can control most settings and selections.
Indications for Use
The AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump is clinically indicated for use for the following conditions:
- Acute Coronary Syndrome
- . Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery
- Complications of Heart Failure
Verification and Validation Testing
The software changes were developed in accordance with IEC 62304, Medical Device Software – Software Lifecycle Processes and in accordance with FDA Guidance "General Principles of Software Validation: Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff." Software Verification testing has been completed to demonstrate that the software requirements have been met. All testing met the expected results. System verification and validation testing was also conducted, and all results met the required specifications.
Technological Comparison to Predicate
The AC3™ IABP system with Ver. 3.11 software is similar in design and identical in Indications for Use to the predicate, AC3™ IABP system (V3.7). The AC3 IABP system with Ver. 3.11 software was aligned with the AutoCAT2 IABP system (predicate to AC3) for the Helium Loss 2 alarm. The differences between the subject AC3 system and the predicate IABP systems were evaluated to provide evidence that the AC3 IABP System is substantially equivalent to the predicate systems. The IABP systems were verified through software validation and system verification testing. The results of the testing met the acceptance criteria and performed similar to the predicate device (AutoCAT2 and AC3 Ver.3.7). The testing demonstrates that the catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The AC3™ IABP with V3.11 software is substantially equivalent to the specified predicate device based on comparisons of the device functionality, principle of operation, technological characteristics, and indications for use. The change to the software and results of subsequent software verification and validations tests do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness; therefore, the AC3™ IABP with V3.11 software is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
