The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its mechanical properties and performance testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a support catheter used to access vasculature and facilitate placement/exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices, as well as deliver solutions or agents, rather than directly treating a condition.
No
The device is described as a support catheter facilitating placement and exchange of guidewires and delivering solutions/agents, not as a device that diagnoses conditions. While it can deliver "diagnostic contrast," it doesn't perform the diagnosis itself.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a braided support matrix, hydrophilic coating, and a radiopaque gold-coated tip. The performance studies listed are all related to the physical properties and performance of a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function within the peripheral vasculature for accessing regions, facilitating device placement, and delivering substances. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for use within the body, with features like a braided support matrix, hydrophilic coating, and radiopaque tip for navigation within the vasculature.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to be used within the body for direct intervention or delivery.

Device Description
The SINC™ (Selective Interventional Navigation Catheter) Support Catheters are single lumen catheters designed to access peripheral vasculature. These catheters are available in a variety of lengths and offer a side port. Each configuration has a braided support matrix and hydrophilic coating on the distal segment of the catheter. The distal tip is clearly distinguished by a radiopaque gold coated tip.
The SINC Support Catheters will also allow for exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices and provide a conduit for delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast.

Dear Lori Grace:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Technological Comparison
The SINC™ Support Catheter is nearly identical to the predicate device platform (spex LP, K200094). Like the predicate device, the SINC™ Support Catheter is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires. .
The subject and predicate devices are based on the following identical technological elements:
- all delivered to the target site using an over-the-wire percutaneous technique .
- . all have a through lumen to allow passage and exchange of guidewires
- all have a smooth inner lumen to provide reduced friction for guidewire movement .
- . all have a polymer catheter shaft with specific geometry to control the torque and push movements associated with lesion crossing
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- The distal tip of the SINC support catheter has been modified to include a side port. ●
