The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device facilitates access and dilates the atrial septal defect, guiding other devices and preparing the site for intervention, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.
No
Explanation: The device is a transseptal dilator used for facilitating access to the left atrium and dilating the atrial septal defect, not for diagnosing conditions. It is a procedural tool.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical dilator comprised of a single dilator, designed for manual manipulation and visualization using imaging equipment. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for facilitating access to the left atrium via a transseptal technique during medical procedures. This involves physically manipulating and dilating tissue within the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical dilator designed for insertion into the body to guide wires and dilate tissue.
- 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 samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical tool.

Device Description
The subject VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator is a single-use device that is supplied sterile to the user. The device is comprised of a single dilator.
The subject VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator represents modifications made to the dilator component of the legally marketed VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator (K220414) (comprising of a dilator and J-tipped guidewire). A quidewire is not supplied with the subject device. However, the end user can use a separately cleared compatible 0.035″ quidewire.
The VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator is designed for safe and easy catheterization and angiography of specific heart chambers and locations. The dilator provides torque control and is flexible. The dilator features a tapered tip and a shaft that can be reshaped manually. The echogenic shaft and tip and radiopaque tip maximize visualization of the dilator during manipulation in procedures.
The dilator can be used with separately cleared compatible access sheaths such as FARADRIVE™ Steerable sheaths. The dilator may also be used as a standalone device to facilitate access to the left atrium following transseptal puncture. The dilator provides support and helps quide separately cleared compatible transseptal wires to the atrial septum for puncture. The dilator subsequently dilates the atrial septal defect to enable larger diameter devices to cross the septum.

Intended Use/ Indications for Use
The VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator is indicated for use in procedures where access to the left atrium via the transseptal technique is desired.
Device Description
The subject VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator is a single-use device that is supplied sterile to the user. The device is comprised of a single dilator.
The subject VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator represents modifications made to the dilator component of the legally marketed VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator (K220414) (comprising of a dilator and J-tipped guidewire). A quidewire is not supplied with the subject device. However, the end user can use a separately cleared compatible 0.035″ quidewire.
The VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator is designed for safe and easy catheterization and angiography of specific heart chambers and locations. The dilator provides torque control and is flexible. The dilator features a tapered tip and a shaft that can be reshaped manually. The echogenic shaft and tip and radiopaque tip maximize visualization of the dilator during manipulation in procedures.
5
The dilator can be used with separately cleared compatible access sheaths such as FARADRIVE™ Steerable sheaths. The dilator may also be used as a standalone device to facilitate access to the left atrium following transseptal puncture. The dilator provides support and helps quide separately cleared compatible transseptal wires to the atrial septum for puncture. The dilator subsequently dilates the atrial septal defect to enable larger diameter devices to cross the septum. The subject device can be used by electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists, and other users trained in catheter techniques for any procedure that requires left atrial access via transseptal puncture.
Procedures using the devices are performed in fully equipped catheter labs with imaging equipment, including fluoroscopy and echocardiography under sterile technique.
Comparison of Characteristics with Predicate Device
The intended use and indications for use of the proposed VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator remains unchanged from the predicate VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator (K220414). The subject and predicate devices also share the same fundamental scientific technology, including principles of operation and mechanism of action, packaging configuration and sterilization method.
The differences between the predicate and subject device are due to dimensional and design updates for compatibility with separately cleared compatible access sheaths, removal of a guidewire supplied with the device, and labeling update to reflect use of the subject dilator with and without a compatible access sheath.
Differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness (Table 13.2). The results of verification and validation testing provide reasonable assurance of substantial

The proposed VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator met all test requirements as specified by applicable standards and test protocols. The verification and validation activities for safety and effectivenenss, along with the testing completed for the design changes demonstrated the subject device meets its intended use and is as safe, as effective, and performs in a manner that is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Conclusions
The subject and predicate devices share the same indications for use, intended use, and fundamental scientific technology, including principles of operation and mechanism of action. Differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. The results of verification and validation activities support substantial equivalence of the proposed VersaCross Connect™ Transseptal Dilator to the predicate device.
