Intended Use
The D Kutting™ PTA Scoring Balloon Dilatation catheters are indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) of obstructive lesions of synthetic or native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Device Description
The D·Kutting™ PTA Scoring Balloon Dilatation Catheter is an Over-The-Wire (OTW) balloon catheter with a dual lumen shaft design. One lumen is used to pass the catheter over 0.018" or 0.035" guidewires. The second lumen communicates with the balloon and is used to inflate and deflate the balloon during the procedure. The guidewire lumen and the balloon lumen terminate at the proximal end of the catheter in a Y-connector manifold with Luer lock fillings. 3 scoring wires between the two marker bands are radially distributed every 120° and mounted on the surface of the balloon. A PVP coating is applied to the tip to enhance insertion and withdrawal performance. The D. Kutting™ PTA Scoring Balloon Dilatation Catheter will be available with balloon diameters 4.0 mm to 8.0 mm, balloon lengths 20 mm to 80 mm and with catheter lengths of 50 cm, 90 cm, and 130 cm. The diameter and length of the balloon and the diameter of the compatible guide wire are printed on the hub.
More Information

Not Found

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.

Yes
The device is a therapeutic device because its intended use is for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) to treat obstructive lesions, which involves a direct medical intervention to restore normal function.

No.
The device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) to treat obstructive lesions, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical balloon catheter with various hardware components (shaft, lumens, balloon, scoring wires, manifold, Luer lock fittings, coating). Performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and in vivo testing, not software validation.

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 the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The D Kutting™ PTA Scoring Balloon Dilatation catheter is a device used inside the body (in vivo) to physically treat obstructive lesions in blood vessels. It's a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) of obstructive lesions," which is a medical procedure performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with a balloon and scoring wires designed for mechanical dilation within a blood vessel.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties, biocompatibility, and in vivo performance of the device, not on the analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the D Kutting™ PTA Scoring Balloon Dilatation catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The subject device underwent performance testing for both guidewire sizes and demonstrated that the guidewire sizes were compatible with their labeled respective models. The difference does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Difference 3:

The minimum diameter of the subject device's balloon is 4 mm, and the maximum diameter is 8 mm. It is divided into 1 mm steps (4 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm). The minimum length of the subject device's balloon is 20 mm, and the maximum length is 80 mm. It is divided into 20 mm steps (20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm). The minimum effective catheter length is 50 cm and the maximum is 130 cm. It consists of 50 cm, 90 cm, 130 cm.

The minimum diameter of the predicate device's balloon is 5 mm, and the maximum diameter is 8 mm. It is divided into 1 mm steps (5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm). The length of the predicate device's balloon is only 20 mm. The minimum effective catheter length is 50 cm and the maximum is 135 cm. It consists of 50 cm, 90 cm and 135 cm.

The subject device underwent performance testing representative of the product size matrix and demonstrated acceptable performance. The difference does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Difference 4:

The Nominal Pressure and RBP of subject device is 8atm and 20atm respectively, and predicate device's is 6atm and 10atm respectively. The subject device underwent performance testing with regards to balloon performance, including Balloon diameter to inflation pressure, Balloon inflation time, Balloon deflation time and Balloon rated burst pressure and demonstrated acceptable performance. The difference does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Difference 5:

The subject device uses EO Sterilization, while the predicate device uses Irradiation sterilization. Both are established sterilization methods that target SAL 106. The subject device underwent sterilization validation and sterility verification as part of shelf life testing, and demonstrated acceptable performance. The difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
