Intended Use
The React™ 71 Catheter is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The React™ 71 Catheter is a single lumen, flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter with a nitinol structure that is jacketed with various durable polymer outer layers. A lubricious, polytetrafluoroethylene liner and Engage™ inner layer is used to create a structure that has both proximal stiffness and distal flexibility. The React™ 71 Catheter is also designed with an encapsulated radiopaque distal platinumiridium marker band which is used for visualization under fluoroscopy. The React™ 71 Catheter is introduced into the vasculature through the Split-Y Introducer Sheath. The proximal end of the React™ 71 Catheter is designed with a green thermoplastic elastomer strain relief and a clear hub. The distal end of the React™ 71 Catheter is coated with a Surmodics Serene™ Coating.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance of a catheter, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices, rather than for direct therapeutic intervention itself.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for the "introduction of interventional devices" and is described as a "catheter" used for "visualization under fluoroscopy." There is no mention of it being used to diagnose a condition, only to facilitate intervention.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various material components, a radiopaque marker band, and a coating, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the React™ 71 Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, with features like variable stiffness, a lubricious liner, and a radiopaque marker for visualization under fluoroscopy. These are characteristics of an invasive medical device used for access and delivery, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique used to visualize structures within the body in real-time, which aligns with the use of a catheter in the vasculature. IVDs typically involve analyzing samples using methods like chemical analysis, immunoassay, or molecular diagnostics.
  • Anatomical Site: The peripheral and neuro vasculature are locations within the body where a catheter would be used for intervention. IVDs analyze samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) but the analysis itself happens in vitro (in glass/outside the body).

In summary, the React™ 71 Catheter is an invasive medical device used for accessing and navigating within the body's blood vessels, which is the opposite of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical bench testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the subject device with shorter length compared to the predicate in a clinically representative anatomical model.

The subject device was evaluated per FDA Guidance 1757 and per FDA Recognized Consensus Standards 5-125 & 5-129. The subject device met the acceptance criteria and was able to navigate to the distal M1 segment of the MCA over a microcatheter.

Dear Alexander Abe:

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).

Biocompatibility:

There are no changes to the materials of construction or to the manufacturing materials for the subject React™ 71 Catheters when compared to the legally marketed predicate device (K182097). Therefore, the biocompatibility evaluation of the legally marketed predicate device was adopted for the subject device.

Sterilization and Shelf-Life:

There are no changes to the packaging configuration or materials for the subject React™ 71 Catheters when compared to the legally marketed predicate device (K182097). Therefore, the sterilization and shelflife for the legally marketed predicate device was adopted for the subject device.

Performance Data – Bench:

Non-clinical bench testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the subject device with shorter length compared to the predicate in a clinically representative anatomical model.

The following non-clinical bench tests were conducted:

Performance Data – Animal & Clinical:

The determination of substantial equivalence is based upon successful completion of non-clinical bench testing as there is no change to the indication for use statement, fundamental scientific technology, principles of operation, or materials of construction.

Conclusion:

There is no change to the indication for use, fundamental scientific technology, materials of construction, and principles of operation of the subject React™ 71 Catheters in comparison to the legally marketed predicate device (K182097). The shorter usable lengths and subsequently shorter overall lengths of the subject React™ 71 Catheters do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The information provided in this special 510(k) premarket notification supports a determination of substantial equivalence for the subject React™ 71 Catheters.
