AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for the AngioDynamics VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch Procedure Kits and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits. It seeks to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Based on the provided text, the submission does not describe any new studies or performance tests as the device itself hasn't changed. The submission explicitly states:

"The proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits and the predicate VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits are identical to one another (and therefore substantially equivalent) in all aspects, not limited to design, materials, manufacturing, specifications, dimensions, and indication for use. The difference is the proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits is an update to the labeling." (Page 5, Section G)

And, "Modifications made to the VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits were limited to updating the labeling." (Page 5, Section H)

Therefore, the submission is not presenting new acceptance criteria or a study to prove the device meets new criteria. Instead, it leverages the previous testing and substantial equivalence determination for the predicate device (K171921) and reference devices (K170695 and K112600) because the changes are limited to labeling, and do not affect the device's technical characteristics, functionality, or performance.

Therefore, it is not possible to provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as no such new study or criteria are presented in this 510(k) submission.

The document implies that the original predicate device (K171921) and reference devices (K170695 and K112600) met their acceptance criteria through non-clinical testing. However, the details of those past studies (sample size, experts, ground truth, etc.) are not included in this document.

Dear Laura Dwyer:

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

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 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 (QS) 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).

  • G. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE The proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits and the predicate VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits are identical to one another (and therefore substantially equivalent) in all aspects, not limited to design, materials, manufacturing, specifications, dimensions, and indication for use. The difference is the proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits is an update to the labeling.
  • H. DEVICE MODIFICATIONS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DESIGN MODIFICATION(S) Modifications made to the VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits were limited to updating the labeling.

There is no change to the principles of operation, indications for use, intended use, fundamental scientific technology, or technological characteristics between the proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits and the predicate/reference devices.

The impact of the changes as described within this submission were evaluated as part of the Risk Analysis activity in terms of new/existing risks and new/existing failure modes. The results of this Risk Analysis activity were compared to the current Risk Analysis; the conclusions drawn from this assessment, determined the proposed modifications did not impactor modify an existing risk nor necessitate a new or modified risk.

I. NON-CLINICAL TESTING

The proposed VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch Procedure Kits and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits and the predicate/reference devices have the same indications for use, intended use, principles of operation, and fundamental scientific technology. The labeling updates to the VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch Procedure Kits and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits do not affect the materials, design, biocompatibility/sterilization, technical characteristics, functionality, performance (bench), or usability therefore new testing was not conducted to support the change and previous testing was leveraged from the predicate (K171921) and reference devices (K170695 and K112600).

J. CONCLUSIONS

The proposed labeling change to the VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch Procedure Kits and NeverTouch Direct Procedure Kits does not change its intended use nor does it change the principles of operation. The proposed and predicate/reference devices are substantially equivalent.
