No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple catheter and does not mention any AI/ML terms, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

No
The device is intended to provide a pathway for introducing therapeutic devices, rather than being therapeutic itself.

No
Explanation: The intended use states that the device is "intended to provide a pathway through which a physician can introduce therapeutic devices," indicating a therapeutic purpose rather than a diagnostic one. No diagnostic functions are mentioned in the description or performance studies.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single lumen radiopaque catheter," which is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties like flow rate, torque, and bond strength.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a pathway through which a physician can introduce therapeutic devices into the general and neurovasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering other devices.
  • Device Description: The description of a "single lumen radiopaque catheter with a proximal Luer fitting" is consistent with a device used for accessing blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests outside the body on biological samples. This device is clearly intended for use inside the body.

Dear Ms. Quinlan-Smith:

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 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 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
