The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter (including a dilator) consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, an atraumatic distal tip, and a dilator with a single central lumen. The device provides a conduit into the right side of the heart. The distal shaft is steered using a handle and knobs.

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is compatible with devices (e.g., catheters) with a maximum diameter of 5.2 mm (0.204"), and the Dilator is compatible with devices (e.g., needles or guidewires) with a maximum diameter of 0.9 mm (0.035").

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter consists of materials including nylon, stainless steel, polycarbonate, PVP coating, silicone, urethane, PVC, and Pebax. The distal shaft has a hydrophilic coating to provide a lubricated surface for ease of insertion.

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is provided EO sterile and for single use only.

Dear Irma Barr:

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).

MitraClip G4 Steerable Guide Catheter (K221397) IV. REFERENCE DEVICE

V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is provided EO sterile and for single use only.

VI. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Steerable Guide Catheter is used for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the right side of the heart.

VII. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

{4}------------------------------------------------

The subject and predicate devices are handheld catheter systems designed to facilitate access and placement of specified devices within the chambers and coronary vasculature of the heart. A comparison of the intended use and technological characteristics demonstrates that the TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is substantially equivalent to the AMPLATZER TorqVue Low Profile Delivery System (K131063) and MitraClip G4 Steerable Guide Catheter (K221397).

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter and the AMPLATZER TorgVue Low Profile Delivery System have the same intended uses and sterilization methods. They have similar design features such as the hemostasis valve and are compatible with quide wires, but the AMPLATZER system does not include a dilator and has a radiopaque catheter body rather than a radiopaque tip.

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter and MitraClip G4 Steerable Guide Catheter are equivalent in terms of design, material, principle of operation, and sterilization method. There are minor differences in design to facilitate access to different areas of the heart.

VIII. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The following performance testing was performed to demonstrate the device meets its design specification and is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The following design verification and validation testing was provided in support of a substantial equivalence determination. Performance testing was leveraged from the MitraClip G4 Steerable Guide Catheter where appropriate.

Biocompatibility

The biocompatibility evaluation of the TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". The device is considered an external communicating device with limited (≤24 hour) contact with circulating blood, therefore, evaluation was conducted in the following categories:

Cytotoxicity ●
Hemocompatibility ●
Sensitization ●
Irritation .
Acute Systemic Toxicity ●
Materials-Mediated Pvrogenicity

Design Verification

The following bench testing was conducted to demonstrate that the TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter met all performance specifications:

Visual inspection ●
Catheter dimensions
Curves and steering performance ●
Tensile strengths ●
Torsional strengths ●
Hemostasis ●
Particulate evaluation ●
Shelf-life verification ●

{5}------------------------------------------------

Sterilization

The TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is intended for single use only and is provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO) gas to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 per ISO 11135. An EO/ECH residuals assessment found the residuals to be acceptable per ISO 10993-7 following 2X sterilization.

Packaging

Packaging verification studies were performed in compliance with the applicable requirements of ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2. All device packaging met acceptance criteria following 2X sterilization, environmental conditioning, and transport simulation.

IX. CONCLUSION

The subject TriClip Steerable Guide Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. This conclusion is based upon the devices' similarities in intended use and technological characteristics. There are no differences between the subject device and the predicate that raise new questions for safety and effectiveness.
