No.
This device is designed to drain air, blood, and solid particles during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, which is a supportive function during a medical procedure, rather than directly treating a medical condition or disease.

No

This device is designed for therapeutic purposes (draining the left heart during surgery), not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a balloon tip, intended for insertion into the heart. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biocompatibility of the device materials.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Michler-Kapp Cardiovascular Vent Catheter is a surgical device used during a surgical procedure (cardiopulmonary bypass surgery) to drain the left heart. It is inserted directly into the body and does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "venting the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The device description and performance studies further support that this is a surgical tool, not an IVD.

The Michler-Kapp Cardiovascular Vent Catheter is substantially equivalent to both the Medtronic/ DLP 16 Fr Vent Catheter, Model 12116 cleared under K834352.

5.7 Description of the Device

This balloon-tipped left ventricular vent is intended to drain the left ventricle and left atrium of air, blood, and solid particles generated during surgery. The balloon-tipped IV vent is intended to be inserted through the open left atrium or through the right superior pulmonary vein and across the mitral valve into the left ventricle. In addition, it can be introduced directly into the left ventricle during mitral valve surgery. The design of the balloon-tipped LV vent focuses on ease of passage, position and safety. The soft balloon will inflate in the left ventricle, keeping the catheter tip below the mitral valve to ensure drair, debris and blood from the left ventricle. In addition, the proximal holes will drain air, particulate debris, and blood from the left atrium.

Insertion Technique

Open Heart

With the heart on CPB, the heart is arrested by standard cardioplegic delivery following aortic cross-clamping, and the left atrium is surgically opened. Mitral valve surgery is performed and the surgeon places the LV Vent catheter is inserted into the left ventricle and the balloon is inflated under direct vision. The left atrium is partially closed and the cross clamp is removed from the aorta and suction applied to the LV Vent catheter. As the heart starts beating, the vent remains on suction to remove air, blood, debris, etc. At the appropriate time deemed by the surgeon, the balloon is deflated, the catheter removed from the left ventricle and the left atrial suture line is completed, thus closing the heart.

Closed Heart

The catheter is placed through a purse string in the right superior pulmonary vein. The vent catheter is shaped into an "S" for ease of insertion. The catheter is inserted from the right superior pulmonary vein through the left atrium and the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The patient may or may not be on CBP at this point depending on surgeon preference. The surgeon may palpate for proper placement of the catheter. The stylet is removed and ejection of pulsitile blood from the proximal hub is confirmation of placement in the left ventricle. The balloon is inflated and suction is applied to begin venting. The procedure is completed and when venting is no longer necessary, the balloon is deflated, the vent catheter is removed and the purse string suture is tied.

The device has the following features.

Hub

A proximal hub is provided to give access to the balloon lumen and the suction lumen.

5

Double Lumen Extrusion with Suction Holes

The catheter tubing consists of a two-lumen extrusion providing separation between the balloon lumen and the suction lumen. A total of eighteen suction holes are located proximal and distal to the balloon to allow for the flow of blood, air and particulate debris.

Balloon

The balloon is intended to be filled with saline and has an approximate diameter of 1 inch. The purpose of the balloon is to position the catheter such that the tip is in the ventricle and the portion proximal to the balloon is in the atrium. The balloon is inflated in the left ventricle thus ensuring that the catheter can remain in place thus allowing the catheter to drain both the left ventricle and left atrium without repositioning.

Stylet with Thumb Tab

A shapeable stylet provides catheter stiffness during insertion. The stylet is removed by the thumb tab prior to use of the catheter.

Table 5.2: Comparison of Technological Characteristics

There are no significant differences between the proposed and predicate devices in relation to indication for use, diameter, length/working length, and the presence of a pressure monitoring lumen. Differences are observed in relation to the presence of a positioning balloon, the catheter body materials, the meaning of CM markings, hub configurations, the configuration of malleable stylet, the configuration of vent holes and the design of the tip.

7

As described in further detail in the body of the submission, none of the differences are so significant that they present new questions of safety and effectiveness. To summarize:

Presence of a Positioning Balloon - The positioning balloon does not alter the use of the device with respect to its indication for use. Based on physician feedback, the presence of a positioning balloon and the increased length of the vent holes keeps the tip in place, away from the heart walls and reduces the need to reposition the balloon to vent the left heart. When compared to other devices intended to pass through the heart that contain balloons, the differences do not negatively impact safety and effectiveness nor do they introduce new types of safety and effectiveness questions.

Catheter Body Materials - Though the catheter materials are different they both result in a catheter design that is soft, atraumatic, and flexible. Safety and performance risks were mitigated through successful completion of bench testing, biocompatibility, and hemolysis testing as referenced below. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.

Meaning of CM Markings - Centimeter markings for the proposed device are relative to the tip of the catheter where markings for the predicate device are relative to the proximal end of the vent holes. There is no standard for the use of reference markings for these types of devices, so the user will quickly adapt to the meaning and be able to adjust the catheter positioning accordingly. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.

Hub Configurations - For both the proposed and predicate device, the primary function of the proximal hub is to provide the conduit for the vented blood back to the cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The main difference is that the proposed device hub is configured as a "Y" to allow for connection of a syringe for filling the positioning balloon. The presence of this additional connection does not affect the use or purpose of the hub and does not introduce any risks or new questions of safety or effectiveness. There is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.

Configuration of Malleable Stylet - Both the proposed and predicate devices have a malleable stylet used to impart a shape to the catheter to facilitate insertion. The main difference is that the stylet for the proposed device must be removed prior to initiating venting and the predicate device has an embedded stylet that remains in place. Vent catheters currently marketed are available in a variety of configurations with straight, pre-formed, and styletted configurations. Therefore, providing a product with a removable stylet does not introduce any risks or new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.

Configuration of Vent Holes - The proposed and predicate devices both contain vent holes. The proposed device has a total of 18 holes on distal tip: ten holes distal to the balloon and 8 proximal to the balloon. The distal-most tip of the proposed device is closed. The predicate device has a total of 12 tips at the distal end of the catheter. Eleven are circumferentially placed around the tip and one is located on the distal most portion of the catheter, i.e. the end of the device. Any risks related to the differences in holes has been mitigated through hemolysis testing referenced below. Therefore, there is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.

Design of the Tip - The proposed device has a rounded, closed tip. The tip material is filled with radiopacifier. The predicate device, too, has a rounded tip, but it is open or vented and there is no radiopacifier. Any risks related to the differences in holes has been mitigated through

hemolysis testing referenced below. There is no negative impact on safety and effectiveness or substantial equivalence.
