Intended Use
The Benchmark BMX96 System is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The Benchmark BMX96 System is a three-component system comprised of the Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter, Neuron 6F Select Catheter, and a Dilator. The Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter can be used individually with a 0.038 in. [0.97 mm] guidewire or together with the Neuron 6F Select Catheter to access the desired anatomy. Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter: The Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter with a radiopaque marker band on the distal end and a Luer hub on the proximal end. The Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter dimensions are included on the individual device label. The Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter is compatible with introducer sheaths appropriately sized for the outer diameter of Benchmark BMX96. Neuron 6F Select Catheter: The Neuron 6F Select Catheter is a single lumen, braid-reinforced, variable stiffness catheter with a radiopaque distal end and a Luer hub on the proximal end. The Neuron 6F Select Catheter is available in four tip shapes (SIM, H1, BER, or SIM-V). The Neuron 6F Select Catheter tip shape and dimensions are included on the individual device label. The Neuron 6F Select Catheter is compatible with the Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter. Dilator: The Dilator is a single lumen, radiopaque catheter with a tapered distal end and a Luer hub on the proximal end. The Dilator is compatible with the Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter. The Dilator facilitates the percutaneous entry of the Benchmark BMX96 Delivery Catheter by forming an atraumatic transition from the skin through the subcutaneous tissue to the vessel. The Benchmark BMX96 System is a single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized system.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and mechanical properties of a catheter system for vascular access, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No

This device is designed for the introduction of interventional devices, acting as a conduit rather than providing a direct therapeutic effect itself.

No.

The device is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices, not for diagnosing conditions. Its description and listed tests also confirm its use as a delivery system rather than a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly outlines three physical components: a delivery catheter, a select catheter, and a dilator. The performance studies also detail testing on physical properties like dimensions, friction, tensile strength, and biocompatibility, which are characteristic of hardware devices, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Benchmark BMX96 System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details catheters and a dilator designed for accessing blood vessels and facilitating the insertion of other devices. This aligns with interventional procedures, not laboratory testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Benchmark BMX96 System is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.

Dear Matthew Benenati:

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

1

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
