No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of the microcatheters, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and infusion of embolic materials, which are therapeutic interventions.
Yes
The device is intended for the "infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels," which is a diagnostic application as contrast media are used to enhance visualization during imaging for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a luer lock hub, strain relief cover and tube, central shaft, distal tip, radiopaque markers, and an inner lumen made of PTFE. It also describes physical characteristics like diameter, length, and coatings. This indicates a hardware device, not a software-only 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 the infusion of substances (contrast media, drugs, embolic materials) directly into peripheral blood vessels. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it is performed within the living body.
- Device Description: The device is a microcatheter, a physical tool used to access and deliver substances within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
Therefore, the Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are medical devices used for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures performed in vivo, not IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels. The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are also intended for drug infusion in intraatterial therapy and infusion of embolic materials. The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters should not be used in cerebral vessels.

Device Description
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are single use microcatheters primarily comprised of a luer lock hub, a strain relief cover and tube, central shaft, and a distal tip with radiopaque markers for visualization. The two models differ only in the design of the distal tip. The Sequre®'s distal end has side holes and two radiopaque markers while the Drakon™'s distal end has no side holes and one radiopaque marker. These markers allow for the fluoroscopic visualization of the distal tip of the microcatheters. The inner lumen is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which allows for the smooth passage of fluids, embolic agents and devices such as guide wires. The distal section of the shaft in both models is coated in a hydrophilic polymer laver. which ensures high lubricity when wet with saline or blood. The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are sterile single lumen devices and are available in several different diameters (1.7 Fr., 1.9 Fr., 2.4 Fr, 2.7 Fr., 2.8Fr, and 3.0 Fr.) and lengths (105 cm, 130 cm, or 150 or 155 cm).

III. PREDICATE DEVICE
Accurate Medical Therapeutics Ltd. claims substantial equivalence to the Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters, cleared under K173430 (primary predicate) and K202797.
IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are single use microcatheters primarily comprised of a luer lock hub, a strain relief cover and tube, central shaft, and a distal tip with radiopaque markers for visualization. The two models differ only in the design of the distal tip. The Sequre®'s distal end has side holes and two radiopaque markers while the Drakon™'s distal end has no side holes and one radiopaque marker. These markers allow for the fluoroscopic visualization of the distal tip of the microcatheters.

The inner lumen is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which allows for the smooth passage of fluids, embolic agents and devices such as guide wires. The distal section of the shaft in both models is coated in a hydrophilic polymer laver. which ensures high lubricity when wet with saline or blood.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are sterile single lumen devices and are available in several different diameters (1.7 Fr., 1.9 Fr., 2.4 Fr, 2.7 Fr., 2.8Fr, and 3.0 Fr.) and lengths (105 cm, 130 cm, or 150 or 155 cm).
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are also intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and infusion of embolic materials.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters should not be used in cerebral vessels.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to indications for use, principle of operation, fundamental design principles, performance, sterilization, and packaging. The primary reason for submitting this special 510(k) is the addition of the Sequre® 2.7 Fr. XSB.
The Sequre® 2.7 Fr. XSB model differs from the cleared Sequre® 2.7 Fr. primarily in its microsphere bead compatibility range and includes minor material changes.
These differences do not impact product performance or modify the intended use but are mainly designed to enable the Sequre® microcatheter family to be compatible with the same range of microsphere sizes that are compatible with the cleared Drakon™ microcatheters. The Microcatheter's instructions for use identically indicate the size requirements for devices compatible with the Sequre® 2.7 Fr. XSB. In summary, these differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Although different materials were used in Sequre® 2.7 Fr. XSB, the materials are all either the same as in the cleared models or of the same type. Thus, these changes also do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison to predicate device.
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Risk assessment pursuant to ISO 14971 was performed to assess the impact of the changes. The following bench tests were performed to evaluate the design elements and performance characteristics of the modified Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The modified Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters met the predetermined acceptance criteria.
