Intended Use
The Zipline Access Catheter is indicated to facilitate the insertion and guidance of catheters into a selected blood vessel in the neurovascular system.
Device Description
The Zipline Access Catheter is a single-use device designed to deliver large-bore catheters to the neurovasculature using standard endovascular techniques. It is supplied sterile and nonpyrogenic. It is available in two sizes: Zipline 070. Zipline 070. Zipline 088 is designed for use with outer catheters with 0.088" or larger internal diameter, and Zipline 070 is designed for use with outer catheters with 0.070" or larger internal diameter. During use, the Zipline Access Catheter is advanced over a guidewire to the desired location in the neurovasculature. An outer catheter is then advanced over the Zipline Access Catheter to the desired location. The Zipline Access Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter. It has a tapered flexible tip and a radiopague marker at its distal end. Proximal to the tapered section is a "bulb" and a radiopaque coil to facilitate bulb visualization under fluoroscopy. The outer of the bulb is designed to closely match the inner diameter of outer catheters, thereby minimizing the gap between the two catheters during navigation. The Zipline Access Catheter has a hydrophilic coating on the outer surface of the distal end to enhance tracking through the vasculature. A luer fitting located on the catheter hub is used for attachment of ancillary devices. A continuous internal lumen spanning from the distal tip to the proximal hub accommodates guidewires up to 0.018" in diameter.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its mechanical and material properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on bench testing, biocompatibility, and animal studies, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is an access catheter indicated to facilitate the insertion and guidance of other catheters. It does not directly provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No

This device is designed to facilitate the insertion and guidance of other catheters into blood vessels, which is a procedural or therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with various material and structural components (tapered flexible tip, radiopaque marker, bulb, radiopaque coil, hydrophilic coating, luer fitting, internal lumen). The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and biological interactions, not software performance.

Based on the provided information, the Zipline Access Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the insertion and guidance of catheters into a selected blood vessel in the neurovascular system." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose (access and guidance), not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. It talks about lumens, tips, coatings, and luer fittings – all components of an invasive medical device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of the catheter (buckling force, tensile strength, kink resistance, etc.) and its biocompatibility and in vivo performance in an animal model. These are typical evaluations for an invasive medical device, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The mention of Fluoroscopy indicates the device is used in conjunction with imaging techniques to guide its placement within the body, further supporting its role as an interventional device.

In summary, the Zipline Access Catheter is an invasive medical device used for procedural purposes within the neurovascular system, not an IVD used for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

Dear Anne-Marie Gannon:

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).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
