No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as providing "endovascular coagulation of blood vessels" and applies "thermal energy to the desired treatment site via radiofrequency heating," indicating it directly treats a medical condition (superficial vein reflux).
No
The device description and intended use state that it is for "endovascular coagulation of blood vessels" and provides "thermal energy to the desired treatment site." This indicates a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter with a heating element, connection cable, and a PCBA. It also mentions mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing, indicating it is a hardware device. While software verification and validation are mentioned, this is for the software component within the hardware device, not a standalone software device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The device is a catheter designed to deliver thermal energy to blood vessels. This is a treatment device, not a diagnostic device that analyzes biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing blood, tissue, or other biological samples. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any process for diagnosing a condition based on in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ClosureFast catheter's function is to treat a condition directly within the body.

Device Description
The ClosureFast™ Radio Frequency Ablation catheter is a sterile, single use, disposable device with an integrated connection cable. The catheter has a 6F profile with a heating element (coil) 8 cm in length and 2.00 mm in diameter. It is available in two working lengths, 60 cm and 100 cm. A single-use limiter feature is added in the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) housed inside the handle of the device. It establishes an effective treatment window of 2 hours after the first energy cycle. The catheter's function is to provide thermal energy to the desired treatment site via radiofrequency heating of the catheter heating element. The ClosureFast catheter is designed to be used with the ClosureRFG™ Radiofrequency Generator.

Dear Aditi Dave:
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
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 devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
