No
The summary describes a mechanical device (intra-aortic balloon pump) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for treating various cardiac conditions such as cardiogenic shock, myocardial infarction, and refractory power failure, which are conditions that require therapeutic intervention.

No

This device, an Intra-Aortic Balloon (IAB), is described as a therapeutic device used for conditions like cardiogenic shock or unstable angina, not for diagnosing them. The performance studies focus on mechanical aspects like insertion, kink resistance, and trackability rather than diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a polyurethane blend balloon, nylon shaft, and central lumen, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is an Intra-Aortic Balloon (IAB) catheter, which is a physical device inserted into the aorta.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses are all related to providing mechanical circulatory support within the body for various cardiac conditions. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).

The device is a therapeutic and supportive medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following tests were performed:

  1. Insertion Test: A test was designed and manufactured with an adjustable restriction to simulate a sheathless insertion. Cardiac Assist. Datascope and Arrow IAB's were inserted through the fixture at smaller and smaller increments to ascertain the tightest restriction the device could be passed through without damaging the IAB or its guidewire. In each case the Cardiac Assist IAB's were able to be inserted through a tighter restriction without failure as compared to the Datascope and Arrow IAB's. The competitor catheters required larger openings to be able to pass through without failure.

  2. Kink Resistance Test: The Cardiac Assist. Datascope and Arrow IAB's were tested for their resistance to kinking by bending the catheter samples around a radius and measuring the smallest step on the fixture that the catheter was able to be bent around without failure. The Cardiac Assist mean radius ranged from 0.124 to 0.54 inch while the Datascope mean was 0.24 inch and the Arrow mean was 0.23 inch. The Cardiac Assist IAB's have been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent in kink resistance to the Datascope and Arrow IAB's.

  3. Trackability Test: The Cardiac Assist, Datascope and Arrow IAB's were inserted over their guidewire into position and removed without damaging the balloon or guidewire. All of the IAB's were able to track their quidewire into proper position in the aorta without incident. There were no catheter kinks, guidewire kinks, and no problems or difficulties encountered during insertion and removal demonstrating substantial equivalence of the Cardiac Assist IAB's to Datascope and Arrow.

  4. Dimensional Comparison: A dimensional comparison was made between the Cardiac Assist and Datascope and Arrow IAB's catheter shaft diameter, folded balloon diameter, and the difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diamter. Results indicated that the difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diamter of the Cardiac Assist IAB's ranges from 0.009 to 0.015 inch while the Datascope is 0.009 inch and the Arrow is 0.029 inch. The difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diameter of the Cardiac Assist IAB's is substantially equivalent to that of the Datascope and Arrow IAB's.

PROPOSED DEVICES INFORMATION D.

This premarket notification proposes to allow the labeling of the BSC/CA Models 940 and 930, 30 cc and 40 cc Sensation™ and NICATH™ 40 cc and 30 cc IAB's for an optional sheathless method of insertion. The sheathless insertion technique is proposed to be offerred in the Directions for Use along with the current instructions for a sheathed insertion.

E. DEVICE DESCRIPTIONS

The Models 940 and 930, 30 cc and 40 cc Sensation™ and NICATH™ 40 cc and 30 cc IAB's consist of a polyurethane blend balloon at the distal end of a polyurethane-covered nylon shaft. The balloons are coated with a thin layer of Medical Grade silicone fluid. A central lumen runs throughout the length of the catheters and terminates at the distal tip. This central lumen may be used to pass the device over a guidewire. The balloon is supplied pre-wrapped for insertion.

F. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The indications for use for the Cardiac Assist IAB's are identical to that of the currently marketed devices. The indications are as follows:

    • Refractory power failure.
    • Cardiogenic shock.
    • Unstable refractory angina.
    • Impending or extending myocardial infarction (MI).
    • Hemodynamically significant mechanical complications secondary to acute MI:
        • Ventricular septal defect.
        • Mitral valve regurgitation.
        • Papillary muscle rupture.
    • Angiography/angioplasty patients.
    • Septal shock.

G. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Cardiac Assist IAB's proposed to be labeled for optional sheathless insertion are Identical to the current legally marketed IAB's. Test data and information demonstrates that the use of the Cardiac Assist IAB's is substantially equivalent to the performance of the predicate devices (Datascope 9.5 F 40 cc PERCOR STAT-DL and Arrow 9 F 40 cc) when tested for sheathless insertion.

H. NONCLINICAL TESTS

The following tests were performed:

    1. Insertion Test:
      A test was designed and manufactured with an adjustable restriction to simulate a sheathless insertion. Cardiac Assist. Datascope and Arrow IAB's were inserted through the fixture at smaller and smaller increments to ascertain the tightest restriction the device could be passed through without damaging the IAB or its guidewire.

2

In each case the Cardiac Assist IAB's were able to be inserted through a tighter restriction without failure as compared to the Datascope and Arrow IAB's. The competitor catheters required larger openings to be able to pass through without failure.

  1. Kink Resistance Test:

The Cardiac Assist. Datascope and Arrow IAB's were tested for their resistance to kinking by bending the catheter samples around a radius and measuring the smallest step on the fixture that the catheter was able to be bent around without failure. The Cardiac Assist mean radius ranged from 0.124 to 0.54 inch while the Datascope mean was 0.24 inch and the Arrow mean was 0.23 inch.

The Cardiac Assist IAB's have been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent in kink resistance to the Datascope and Arrow IAB's.

  1. Trackability Test:

The Cardiac Assist, Datascope and Arrow IAB's were inserted over their guidewire into position and removed without damaging the balloon or guidewire. All of the IAB's were able to track their quidewire into proper position in the aorta without incident. There were no catheter kinks, guidewire kinks, and no problems or difficulties encountered during insertion and removal demonstrating substantial equivalence of the Cardiac Assist IAB's to Datascope and Arrow.

    1. Dimensional Comparison:
      A dimensional comparison was made between the Cardiac Assist and Datascope and Arrow IAB's catheter shaft diameter, folded balloon diameter, and the difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diamter. Results indicated that the difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diamter of the Cardiac Assist IAB's ranges from 0.009 to 0.015 inch while the Datascope is 0.009 inch and the Arrow is 0.029 inch.

The difference between the folded balloon diameter and catheter shaft diameter of the Cardiac Assist IAB's is substantially equivalent to that of the Datascope and Arrow IAB's.

CLINICAL TESTS 1.

Based on conversations with FDA in April 1996, it was agreed that no formal clinical data was required to support this premarket notification.
