Intended Use
The Scorpion Portal Vein Access Sets are intended for transjugular liver access in diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Device Description
The Scorpion Portal Vein Access Sets have two models. One model has a Stylet as the puncture tool and the other model has a 17ga Needle as the puncture tool. The Scorpion Stylet Portal Vein Access Set contains a 10F Introducer Sheath, a 10F Dilator, a 5F MPA catheter, a 14ga Stiffening Cannula, a 0.040" Nitinol Stylet with a 5Fr PEEK Catheter, and a 7F Cannula Sheath. The 14ga stiffening cannula with cannula sheath has a directional handle that indicates the direction of the curve. The 10F Introducer Sheath hemostatic valve is designed to be compatible with up to 13F (4.3mm/0.171") sleeve. These components are used to create a pathway through the liver parenchyma through which an endoprosthetic can be delivered. The Scorpion Stylet Portal Vein Access Set is used to gain access to the hepatic vein and guide a sharp puncture tool (0.040" Stylet) through the parenchyma. The puncture tool (Stylet) is used to make a pathway from the hepatic vein to the portal vein, and then the pathway is dilated to provide access for a larger sheath. The shunt is inserted through the sheath and deployed through the pathway. Then, all of the Scorpion Stylet Portal Vein Access Set components are removed. The Scorpion Needle Portal Vein Access Set contains a 10F Introducer Sheath, a 10F Dilator, a 5F MPA Catheter, a 13ga Scorpion Stiffening Cannula, 17ga Nitinol Needle, a 6.2F PEEK Catheter, and 8F Sheath Introducer. The 13ga stiffening cannula with cannula sheath has a directional handle that indicates the direction of the curve. The 17ga Nitinol Needle has a directional handle that indicates the direction of the 10F Introducer Sheath hemostatic valve is designed to be compatible with up to 13F (4.3mm/0.171″) sleeve. These components are used to create a pathway through the liver parenchyma through which an endoprosthetic can be delivered. The Scorpion Needle Portal Vein Access Set is used to gain access to the hepatic vein and guide a sharp puncture tool (17ga Needle) through the parenchyma. The puncture tool (Needle) is used to make a pathway from the hepatic vein to the portal vein, and then the pathway is dilated to provide access for a larger sheath. The shunt is inserted through the sheath and deployed through the pathway. Then, all of the Scorpion Needle Portal Vein Access Set components are removed. A Portal Vein Access Set is typically in use in procedures up to 4 hours.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function in creating a pathway. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies listed are standard tests for mechanical and material properties of medical devices.

No.
The device is an access set used to create a pathway for the delivery of an endoprosthetic; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an access set used to create a pathway for delivering an endoprosthetic, making it an interventional device. While the intended use mentions "diagnostic and interventional procedures," the device description solely focuses on its role in creating access for interventional procedures, specifically shunt placement. It does not perform any diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components (sheaths, dilators, catheters, stylets, needles, cannulas, handles) and performance testing related to physical properties (tensile strength, torque strength, leakage, corrosion, burst pressure, flow rate, fracture resistance), indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for transjugular liver access in diagnostic and interventional procedures." This describes a surgical or interventional tool used to create a pathway within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details components like sheaths, dilators, catheters, stylets, and needles. These are all instruments used for accessing and manipulating anatomical structures within the body.
  • 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 screening. IVDs typically involve reagents, calibrators, controls, and instruments for analyzing biological samples.

The Scorpion Portal Vein Access Sets are clearly designed for direct use within the patient's body to facilitate a medical procedure, not for testing samples outside the body.

Dear Amy Clendening-Wheeler:

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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
