Intended Use
The AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump is clinically indicated for use for the following conditions: - 1. Acute Coronary Syndrome - 2. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery - 3. Complications of Heart Failure
Device Description
The AC3™ Series Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) system is a professional use device that provides counterpulsation therapy to adult patients with impaired Left Ventricular (LV) Function. The AC3 Series IABP system consists of two (2) components: (1) the pump control/display module which incorporates a display, touch screen, and keypad for system operation and (2) the pneumatic drive module with attached wheels. It provides hemodynamic support of blood pressure and reduced cardiac work through volume displacement principles. The IABP is attached to an intra-aortic balloon (IAB) catheter which is inserted into the femoral artery and positioned in the descending thoracic aorta. The IABP delivers helium (He) into the IAB catheter during diastole to displace blood above and below the IAB, increasing blood pressure and perfusion to organs close to the IAB catheter. The IABP deflates or removes He from the IAB catheter just prior to or in the early phase of systole, reducing the pressure in the aorta and therefore the LV must generate to open the aortic valve and eject its contents into the circulatory system. This results in a decrease in work and oxygen demand.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and pneumatic operation of the device for counterpulsation therapy and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes.

The device provides counterpulsation therapy to adult patients with impaired Left Ventricular (LV) Function for conditions such as Acute Coronary Syndrome, Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery, and Complications of Heart Failure.

No

This device provides counterpulsation therapy to support patients with impaired Left Ventricular function. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. It is used to treat conditions, not to identify or monitor them.

No

The device description clearly outlines two hardware components: a pump control/display module and a pneumatic drive module. It also describes the physical mechanism of action involving helium delivery and deflation in an intra-aortic balloon catheter.

Based on the provided information, 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump is a device that is inserted into the body (specifically the aorta) to provide mechanical support to the heart. It directly interacts with the circulatory system.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes treating conditions related to impaired heart function and providing hemodynamic support. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, the AC3™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 870.3535 Intra-aortic balloon and control system.

(a)
Identification. An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device;
(ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed;
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components;
(v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

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

Technological Characteristics Comparison

The subject device incorporates an updated software revision of corrections to software anomalies, an enhancement permitting the disabling capability of the transfer of data via universal serial bus (USB), and other minor modifications for reliability and usability. The subject device also incorporates an alternate SD Card and battery .No changes introduced new risks to the user or the patient.

Conclusion

Compared with the predicate device, the AC3™ Series IABP has identical indications for use, fundamental technologies, principles of operation and performance. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through software verification and validation testing. The results of these tests raised no new questions of safety or effectiveness and demonstrated that the subject AC3™ IABP is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
