No
The summary describes a mechanical device (intra-aortic balloon catheter) and its intended use and physical characteristics. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies are non-clinical tests of the device's physical properties and function.

Yes
The device is described as an "intra-aortic balloon catheter" used for "temporary circulatory support" to lower cardiac workload by "systolic unloading" and "diastolic augmentation" in patients with various cardiac conditions. These actions directly treat physiological conditions.

No

The device is an intra-aortic balloon catheter primarily used for mechanical circulatory support, providing therapeutic benefits by lowering cardiac workload and improving perfusion, rather than diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a polyurethane blend balloon, nylon shaft, Nitinol/Stainless Steel central lumen, and guidewire, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as providing temporary circulatory support through mechanical displacement of blood in the aorta. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is an intra-aortic balloon catheter, designed to be inserted into the aorta. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.

The device is clearly a therapeutic medical device used to assist the heart's function.

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

Nonclinical Tests:

  1. Sheathed Insertion Test: The force required to insert the SUB-9 designs (30 and 40 cc and Stainless Steel and Nitinol) was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the force required to insert the predicate NICATH™ and Sensation™ designs.
  2. Sheathless Insertion Test: The tightest restriction that the SUB-9 design can pass through was found to be smaller than that required for the predicate BSC/CA IAB's, the Datascope 40 cc 9.5 F Percor-Stat and the Kontron/Arrow 40 cc 9 F IAB.
  3. Maximum Pumping Rate Limit Test: The maximum pumping rate limit, defined as the maximum pumping rate at which the balloon is able to inflate and deflate fully (greater than or equal to 90% of it's nominal volume), was measured for the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9. The maximum achievable pumping rate limits for the SUB-9 designs were found to be higher than that for the predicate NICATH™ and Models 940 and 930 on the BSC/CA 3001. Since the SUB-9 performed faster on the BSC/CA 3001 it will perform faster on any IABP it is labeled for use on.
  4. Reliability/Integrity Test: The reliability of the SUB-9 was found comparable to all BSC/CA predicate devices, all of which were able to cycle for at least 3.6 million cycles. The maximum pumping rate limit post-reliability was found identical to the prereliability rate for the 40 cc SUB-9. Inflation and deflation times postreliability were also found comparable to pre-reliability times.
  5. Aneurization and Burst Pressure Test: The aneurization and burst pressure tests demonstrated substantially equivalent aneurization and burst pressures as compared to the predicate devices. The SUB-9 balloons will not aneurize or burst when used on the IABP's labeled for use on since the IABP's are unable to provide the volume required to aneurize the balloons then continue on to burst the balloons. The peak output pressures of all the IABP's indicated for use on is below the pressures required to aneurize and burst the balloons.
  6. Transmembrane Pressure and Volume Measurement Test: Since the balloons used on the SUB-9 are the same as the predicate Models 940 and 930 and 30 and 40 cc NICATH™, they will have the same transmembrane pressure at the same inflated volume. The volume of the 30 and 40 cc SUB-9 were found substantially equivalent to the predicate Models 940 and 930, demonstrating equal transmembrane pressures.
  7. Trackability Test: The SUB-9 test samples (30 cc and 40 cc; Stainless Steel and Nitinol) were inserted over their guidewire, into position, and withdrawn to demonstrate that the catheters can perform with their insertion accessories. All the SUB-9, as well as predicate devices, were able to track their guidewire into position in the aorta without incident. There were no catheter kinks, no guidewire kinks, nor any problems encountered inserting or removing the catheters through their introducer.
  8. Kink Resistance Test: The mean kink radius of the SUB-9 Stainless Steel and Nitinol were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate NICATH™, Sensation™ and Models 940 and 930.
  9. Initial Performance, Insertion/Removal Integrity Test: All of the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Nitinol and Stainless Steel test samples opened as they should per the Directions for Use. The intearity of the SUB-9 design post insertion and removal was demonstrated.

No clinical testing was performed.

FDA has concurred with the substantial equivalence of the above referenced premarket notifications. All of these devices are currently legally marketed.

PROPOSED DEVICE INFORMATION D.

This premarket notification proposes the following changes to the current legally marketed NICATH™, Sensation™ and Models 940 and 930:

  1. The catheter shaft outer diameter is 8.75 F for the proposed SUB-9 (30 cc and 40 cc volumes and Stainless Steel and Nitinol central lumens) as compared to 9 F for the predicate 30 cc and 40 cc NICATH™ and Models 940 and 930, and 9.5 F for the Sensation™,

The central lumen material of the proposed 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 2. Nitinol is the same as the predicate NICATH™, except that the central lumen is slightly smaller allowing a smaller folded balloon diameter.

The central lumen material of the proposed 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 အဲ Stainless Steel is the same as the predicate Sensation™, except that the central lumen is slightly smaller allowing a smaller folded balloon diameter.

  1. The smaller catheter shaft of the SUB-9 design (8.75 F vs. 9 F) allows the balloons to be folded to a smaller folded balloon diameter (0.121 inch vs. 0.129 inch) as compared to the predicate devices. This smaller folded balloon diameter allows the use of a 9 F introducer with the SUB-9 design as compared to a 10 F introducer for the predicate devices.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION ui

The proposed 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Stainless Steel and Nitinol consists of a polyurethane blend symmetrical balloon at the distal end of a polyurethane-covered nylon shaft. The balloons are coated with a thin layer of silicone fluid. A Nitinol central lumen runs throughout the length of the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Nitinol catheters and terminates at the distal tip. A Stainless Steel central lumen runs throughout the length of the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Stainless Steel catheters and terminates at the distal Each central lumen may be used to pass the devices over their tip. guidewire. The balloon is supplied prewrapped for insertion utilizing either a hemostasis sheath (provided in each IAB insertion kit) or sheathless.

ட் INDICATIONS FOR USE

The indications for use for the proposed SUB-9 IAB's is identical to that of the currently marketed predicate devices. The indications are as follows:

  • · Refractory power failure.
  • · Cardiogenic shock.

2

  • · 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 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Stainless Steel and Nitinol design is identical to the predicate NICATHTM, uses the same balloons as the predicate NICATH™ and Models 940 and 930 and uses the same central lumen materials as the predicate NICATH™ and Sensation™. The slightly smaller catheter shaft of the SUB-9 design does not effect it's ability to perform equivalently to the predicate devices. Test data and information demonstrates that the use of the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Stainless Steel and Nitinol is substantially equivalent to the performance of the predicate devices on the BSC/CA 3001, Datascope Systems 90 and 97, St. Jude/Aries 700, Kontron KAAT and Bard H-8000.

ાનં. NONCLINICAL TESTS

  1. Sheathed Insertion Test:

The force required to insert the SUB-9 designs (30 and 40 cc and Stainless Steel and Nitinol) was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the force required to insert the predicate NICATH™ and Sensation™ designs.

    1. Sheathless Insertion Test:
      The tightest restriction that the SUB-9 design can pass through was found to be smaller than that required for the predicate BSC/CA IAB's. the Datascope 40 cc 9.5 F Percor-Stat and the Kontron/Arrow 40 cc 9 F IAB.

3. Maximum Pumping Rate Limit Test:

The maximum pumping rate limit, defined as the maximum pumping rate at which the balloon is able to inflate and deflate fully (greater than or equal to 90% of it's nominal volume), was measured for the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9. The maximum achievable pumping rate limits for the SUB-9 designs were found to be higher than that for the predicate NICATH™ and Models 940 and 930 on the BSC/CA 3001. Since the SUB-9 performed faster on the BSC/CA 3001 it will perform faster on any IABP it is labeled for use on.

    1. Reliability/Integrity Test:
      The reliability of the SUB-9 was found comparable to all BSC/CA predicate devices, all of which were able to cycle for at least 3.6 million cycles. The maximum pumping rate limit post-reliability was found identical to the prereliability rate for the 40 cc SUB-9. Inflation and deflation times postreliability were also found comparable to pre-reliability times.
    1. Aneurization and Burst Pressure Test:
      The aneurization and burst pressure tests demonstrated substantially equivalent aneurization and burst pressures as compared to the predicate devices. The SUB-9 balloons will not aneurize or burst when used on the IABP's labeled for use on since the IABP's are unable to provide the volume required to aneurize the balloons then continue on to burst the balloons. The peak output pressures of all the IABP's indicated for use on is below the pressures required to aneurize and burst the balloons.
    1. Transmembrane Pressure and Volume Measurement Test:
      Since the balloons used on the SUB-9 are the same as the predicate Models 940 and 930 and 30 and 40 cc NICATH™, they will have the same transmembrane pressure at the same inflated volume. The volume of the 30 and 40 cc SUB-9 were found substantially equivalent to the predicate Models 940 and 930, demonstrating equal transmembrane pressures.
    1. Trackability Test:
      The SUB-9 test samples (30 cc and 40 cc; Stainless Steel and Nitinol) were inserted over their guidewire, into position, and withdrawn to demonstrate that the catheters can perform with their insertion accessories. All the SUB-9, as well as predicate devices, were able to track their guidewire into position in the aorta without incident. There were no catheter kinks, no guidewire kinks, nor any problems encountered inserting or removing the catheters through their introducer.
    1. Kink Resistance Test:
      The mean kink radius of the SUB-9 Stainless Steel and Nitinol were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate NICATH™, Sensation™ and Models 940 and 930.
    1. Initial Performance, Insertion/Removal Integrity Test:
      All of the 30 cc and 40 cc SUB-9 Nitinol and Stainless Steel test samples opened as they should per the Directions for Use. The intearity of the SUB-9 design post insertion and removal was demonstrated.

Indications for Use (continued):

    1. Diastolic augmentation which provides an increase in the mean ann aortic pressure and leads to an improvement in systemic and coronary arterial perfusion.
      Balloon pump therapy is achieved by inserting an intra-aortic balloon catheter into the descending thoracic aorta via the common femoral artery. Balloon inflation is timed to occur during diastole, beginning with the aortic valve closure. The balloon remains inflated until the onser of left ventricular ejection or systole, then rapidly deflates, reducing the aortic pressure, which in turn reduces the afterload.
