Intended Use
The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device is intended for mechanical dissolution of acute and subacute thrombus in dialysis fistulae. This device is not intended to be used for the removal of atheroma and is contraindicated in coronary, cerebral, and pulmonary vessels.
Device Description
The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device is a polyurethane catheter that contains a distal rotor housing in which a small diameter, recessed impeller is attached to a drive shaft. The shaft is connected to a disposable, high-speed air-driven motor. An infusion line with luer connector, attached to the proximal casing, allows infusion of saline, contrast medium, or thrombolytic medications.

No
The description focuses on mechanical action and does not mention any computational or learning components.

Yes
The device is intended for mechanical dissolution of thrombus, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used for mechanical dissolution of thrombus (treatment), not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, rotor housing, impeller, drive shaft, motor, and infusion line, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the mechanical dissolution of thrombus within the body (in dialysis fistulae). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed to be inserted into a blood vessel. This is an invasive procedure performed in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or performing tests on specimens outside the body.

This device is a therapeutic medical device used for a procedure performed directly on the patient.

510(k) SUMMARY

Contact/Submitter:Jodi Locher, Manager, Regulatory Affairs
Date Prepared:August 29, 1995
Trade Name:Amplatz Thrombectomy Device
Common Name:Thrombectomy Catheter
Classification Name:Percutaneous Catheter (per 21 CFR 870.1250)
Predicate Devices:Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheters (pre-amendment)
Device Description:The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device is a polyurethane catheter that contains
a distal rotor housing in which a small diameter, recessed impeller is
attached to a drive shaft. The shaft is connected to a disposable, high-speed
air-driven motor. An infusion line with luer connector, attached to the
proximal casing, allows infusion of saline, contrast medium, or thrombolytic
medications.
Intended Use:The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device is intended for mechanical dissolution
of acute and subacute thrombus in dialysis fistulae. This device is not
intended to be used for the removal of atheroma and is contraindicated in
coronary, cerebral, and pulmonary vessels.
Comparative Analysis:It has been demonstrated (through clinical studies) that the ATD is as safe
and effective as surgery for the removal of acute and subacute thrombus
within dialysis fistulae
Functional/Safety
Testing:The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device has successfully undergone design
validation, animal, and clinical testing.
Conclusion:The Amplatz Thrombectomy Device is substantially equivalent to the
predicate device based on the results of laboratory, animal and clinical
testing.
