The summary describes a mechanical balloon dilatation catheter and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is a balloon dilatation catheter used to directly treat strictures of the esophagus by dilating them, which is a therapeutic action.
No
The device is described as a dilatation catheter used to expand strictures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (hub, catheter shaft, balloon) and describes a physical action (dilating strictures), indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "endoscopically dilate strictures of the esophagus." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon for mechanical dilation. This is a medical device used for intervention, not for testing samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Description of Device
The Microvasive CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is capable of 3 distinct and progressively larger size diameters. Specific balloon sizes are printed on each package and hub label.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for use in adult and adolescent populations to endoscopically dilate strictures of the esophagus.
DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES
Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Microvasive Vector as well as its MaxForce™ The major components of the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter are the hub, catheter shaft, and
1
the balloon. A thorough comparison of the descriptive characteristics between the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter and the predicate devices show equivalence.
Performance Characteristics
Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed on the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter with satisfactory results.
CONCLUSION
Boston Scientific Corporation believes that CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Vector and MaxForce™. A comparison of the descriptive characteristics of these products demonstrate the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is equivalent in its indications for use, while being very similar in design and materials. In addition. Boston Scientific Corporation has presented laboratory testing and biocompatibility information. The information presented provides assurance that the CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter will meet the minimum requirements that are considered acceptable for its intended use.

Dear Ms. Quaglia:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
