Intended Use
The guiding catheter is intended for use for intravascular introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary, peripheral, and neurovasculature.
Device Description
The Vista Brite Tip Guiding Catheters are single lumen catheters which feature a nylon body with a tightly wound stainless braid wire. The braid wire extends from the hub into the Brite Tip segment. The transition segments of the catheter are designed with nylons of different durometers (stiffness) to provide a gradual decrease in material stiffness from the catheter body to the tip. The Brite Tip segment, located at the catheter's tip, is polyurethane with a radiopaque filler; this is the softest material in the catheter.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with material components (nylon body, stainless braid wire, polyurethane tip) and does not mention any software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "intravascular introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary, peripheral, and neurovasculature." This describes a device used within the body to facilitate other procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with the intended use and not with the typical components of an IVD (like reagents, test strips, or analyzers).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for guiding other instruments within the vascular system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary Of Safety And Effectiveness, Continued

BiocompatibilityAll appropriate biocompatibility tests for the guiding catheters were successfully completed.
Summary of
Substantial
EquivalenceThe Cordis Guiding Catheters are similar in design, construction, indication for use, and performance characteristics to other commercially available Cordis guiding catheters.

1 Any statement of substantial equivalence to another product is required by 21 CFR 807.87, and relates only to whether the present product can be marketed without prior reclassification or clinical approval. The present submission is therefore not related to the coverage of any patent, and is not to be interpreted as an admission or used as evidence in a patent infringement lawsuit. As the Commissioner of the FDA has stated, " ... a determination of substantial equivalence under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act relates to the fact that the product can lawfully be marketed without pre-market approval or reclassification. This determination is not intended to have any bearing whatever on the resolution of patent infringement suuites." 42 Fed. Reg. (1977).

Dear Ms. Zimovan:

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 reqistration, listinq of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existinq major requlations affectinq 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 Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in requlatory 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
