Intended Use
The ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is intended for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and post-dilatation of self-expanding stents in the carotid arteries.
Device Description
The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a standard rapid exchange (RX) 0.014" Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) catheter with a proximal single lumen and distal coaxial lumen tubing with a dilatation balloon, and an atraumatic, tapered tip. The proximal luer lock hub allows for connection with a balloon inflation device for inflation with diluted contrast medium. The second lumen in the distal shaft permits the use of an 0.014" guidewire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon has two radiopaque marker bands to aid in positioning the balloon in the stenosis, located either 25 or 35 mm apart as indicated on the package label. An external position marker is located 32.5 cm from the distal tip to indicate the relative position of the catheter tip to the guiding catheter/introducer sheath. The total working length of the catheter is 75 cm. The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter will complement the TCAR procedure.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a balloon catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and post-dilatation of self-expanding stents in the carotid arteries, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

This device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for therapeutic angioplasty and post-dilatation of stents, not for diagnosing a condition. Its function is to treat a stenosis by dilating it, rather than to identify or characterize it.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, lumens, and marker bands, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a physical device used within the body (in vivo) to perform a medical procedure (angioplasty and stent post-dilatation). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the carotid arteries, not a diagnostic test on a specimen.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an IVD.

Dear Denise Aycox:

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

1.8. Device Description:

The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a standard rapid exchange (RX) 0.014" Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) catheter with a proximal single lumen and distal coaxial lumen tubing with a dilatation balloon, and an atraumatic, tapered tip. The proximal luer lock hub allows for connection with a balloon inflation device for inflation with diluted contrast medium. The second lumen in the distal shaft permits the use of an 0.014" guidewire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon has two radiopaque marker bands to aid in positioning the balloon in the stenosis, located either 25 or 35 mm apart as indicated on the package label. An external position marker is located 32.5 cm from the distal tip to indicate the relative position of the catheter tip to the guiding catheter/introducer sheath. The total working length of the catheter is 75 cm. The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter will complement the TCAR procedure.
