No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of the catheter system, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is indicated for introducing interventional devices, not for therapeutic action itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an "Access System" designed for the "introduction of interventional devices." Its components are catheters and a dilator used to facilitate access to vasculature, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (catheters, dilator) and performance testing related to physical properties (friction, burst pressure, tensile, etc.), indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the BENCHMARK BMX81 Access System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) 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 procedural access, not for testing samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system of catheters and a dilator designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with an invasive medical device, not an IVD.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties, biocompatibility, sterilization, and simulated use, which are typical for invasive medical devices. There are no mentions of analytical performance, sensitivity, specificity, or other metrics associated with diagnostic testing of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
Therefore, the BENCHMARK BMX81 Access System is an invasive medical device used for vascular access, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BENCHMARK BMX81 Access System is a three-component system comprised of the BMX81 Delivery Catheter, Penumbra Select Catheter, and a Dilator. The BMX81 Delivery Catheter can be used individually with a 0.038 in [0.97 mm] guidewire or together with the Penumbra Select Catheter to access the desired anatomy.
BMX81 Delivery Catheter:
The BMX81 Delivery Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter with a radiopaque markerband on the distal end and a Luer hub on the proximal end. The BMX81 Delivery Catheter dimensions are included on the individual device label. The BMX81 Delivery Catheter is compatible with introducer sheaths appropriately sized for the outer diameter of BMX81 Delivery Catheter. The BMX81 Delivery Catheter has a hydrophilic coating on the distal segment of the catheter shaft. The hydrophilic coating length is 18 cm.
Penumbra Select Catheter:
The Penumbra Select Catheter is a single lumen, braid-reinforced, variable stiffness 5F catheter with a radiopaque distal end and a Luer hub on the proximal end. The Penumbra Select Catheter is available in tip shapes (SIM, H1, or BER). The Penumbra Select Catheter tip shape and dimensions are included on the individual device label. The Penumbra Select Catheter is compatible with the BMX81 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 BMX81 Delivery Catheter. The Dilator facilitates the percutaneous entry of the BMX81 Delivery Catheter by forming an atraumatic transition from the skin through the subcutaneous tissue to the vessel.
The BENCHMARK BMX81 Access System is a single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized system.

Dear Sindokht Soltanzadeh:
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.

1.8 Conclusions
The subject BENCHMARK BMX81 Access System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Benchmark Intracranial Access System. The subject device has the same indications for use as the predicate device. The device testing described in the 510(k) Summary demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in regard to intended use, operating principle, design concept, fundamental technology and device performance. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
