Intended Use
INOUE BALLOON™ A is intended for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in patients with aortic stenosis.
Device Description
INOUE BALLOON™ A is intended for the treatment of patients with aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). The device is transported over a guidewire as it is inserted through a percutaneous entry site and expanded with a predetermined amount of the diluted contrast medium by use of specified syringe with extension tube connected to the balloon inflation luer-lock hub. This results in the staged inflation of the balloon from hour-glass to barrel shape. The balloon is stretched and made thinner by pushing the inner tube in during passing thorough the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker is provided for fluoroscopic positioning of the device across the valve.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a balloon catheter, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) to treat aortic stenosis, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as an INOUE BALLOON™ A intended for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) to treat aortic stenosis. It is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure (valvuloplasty), not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical balloon catheter with various hardware components (guidewire, syringe, extension tube, radiopaque marker, inner tube, luer-lock hub). The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and material properties of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The INOUE BALLOON™ A is a medical device used inside the body (in vivo) to physically treat a condition (aortic stenosis) by expanding a balloon within the aortic valve. It does not analyze any bodily specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in patients with aortic stenosis," which is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the INOUE BALLOON™ A is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Shizume:

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.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

INOUE BALLOON™ A is intended for the treatment of patients with aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). The device is transported over a guidewire as it is inserted through a percutaneous entry site and expanded with a predetermined amount of the diluted contrast medium by use of specified syringe with extension tube connected to the balloon inflation luer-lock hub. This results in the staged inflation of the balloon from hour-glass to barrel shape. The balloon is stretched and made thinner by pushing the inner tube in during passing thorough the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker is provided for fluoroscopic positioning of the device across the valve.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

INOUE BALLOON™ A is intended for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) in patients with aortic stenosis.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The INOUE BALLOON™ A is substantially equivalent in both function and use to the predicate devices, NuMED NuCLEUS and NuCLEUS-X BAV Catheters (K082776/DEN080015).

The subject device has the same intended use as and has equivalent technology to the predicate device. The predicate device is a Class II legally marketed device.

The subject device has the same construction as the predicate device; that has a coaxial shaft construction with a distally mounted balloon of the subject device consists of a complex of latex and the fiber mesh has semi-compliant characteristics which differs from non-compliant characteristics of the predicate device. Due to the semi-compliant balloon characteristics, the diameter of inflated balloon is controlled by the infusion volume. Since the balloon burst strength is almost the same as that of the predicate device, it can be said that the function of the subject device as a balloon catheter for aortic valve dilation is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device.
