More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard angiography catheter for delivering contrast medium and makes no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

No
The device is described as a catheter used to deliver contrast medium for diagnostic imaging (angiography), rather than for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is used to deliver contrast medium for imaging, not to diagnose a condition itself. Its function is interventional, aiding in visualization rather than providing diagnostic information from its own operation.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter with a radiopaque body and tip, 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 "deliver radiopaque contrast medium to selected sites in the vascular system." This describes a device used within the body for a diagnostic imaging procedure, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description of a "single lumen catheter with a radiopaque body and tip" is consistent with a device used for angiography, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Cordis Angiography Catheters described are medical devices used for diagnostic imaging procedures, but they are not IVDs.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence VII.

The Cordis F 4 and F 5 Nylex™ Angiography Catheters are similar in design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available angiography catheters.

A statement of substantial equivalence to another product is required by 21CFR 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 suits" 42 Fed. Reg. 42,520, et seg. (1977)

Dear Dr. Jugo:

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 II (Special Controls) or 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 Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (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 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 the Electronic Product 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), přease contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
