Intended Use
The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare is a Class II device intended for use in the cardiovascular system or hollow viscous to retrieve and manipulate foreign objects. Manipulation procedures include indwelling venous catheter repositioning, indwelling venous catheter fibrin sheath stripping, and central venous access venipuncture procedure assistance.
Device Description
The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare consists of a braided nitinol loop attached to a solid core nitinol guidewire. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the host wire. The loop is covered with a gold-plated tungsten coil to enhance radiopaque. The shaft of the snare consists of a solid continuous Nitinol core wire shaft. The loop snare is delivered in a multi-purpose catheter. The catheter has a radiopaque marker band at its distal tip. The package configuration consists of a compact spiral configuration, using hoops to contain the snare and catheter. These spiral hoops are then double pouched in Tyvek/mylar pouches.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on the mechanical function of a snare for retrieving and manipulating objects, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used to retrieve and manipulate foreign objects within the body, which are primarily diagnostic or interventional procedures rather than therapeutic ones.

No

The device description indicates its purpose is to "retrieve and manipulate foreign objects" and assist in procedures like "catheter repositioning" and "venipuncture." These are interventional and manipulative actions rather than diagnostic ones. There is no mention of analysis, measurement, or imaging for the purpose of diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as a braided nitinol loop, solid core nitinol guidewire, gold-plated tungsten coil, and a multi-purpose catheter. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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 use in the cardiovascular system or hollow viscous to retrieve and manipulate foreign objects. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (snare, guidewire, catheter) used for physical manipulation within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to diagnose a condition. IVDs are designed for laboratory or point-of-care testing of biological specimens.

Therefore, the Amplatz Goose Neck Snare is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Trade Name:The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare
Common Name:Intravascular Retrieval Device
Classification Name:Percutaneous Retrieval Device
Predicate Devices:MICROVENA Amplatz Goose Neck Snare
Premarket Notification K901502
Device Description:The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare consists of a braided
nitinol loop attached to a solid core nitinol guidewire.
The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the host wire.
The loop is covered with a gold-plated tungsten coil to enhance
radiopaque. The shaft of the snare consists of a solid continuous
Nitinol core wire shaft. The loop snare is delivered in a multi-
purpose catheter. The catheter has a radiopaque marker band at its
distal tip.
The package configuration consists of a compact spiral
configuration, using hoops to contain the snare and
catheter. These spiral hoops are then double pouched in
Tyvek/mylar pouches.
Intended Use:The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare is a Class II device intended
for use in the cardiovascular system or hollow viscous to
retrieve and manipulate foreign objects. Manipulation
procedures include indwelling venous catheter repositioning,
indwelling venous catheter fibrin sheath stripping, and central
venous access venipuncture procedure assistance. The Amplatz
Goose Neck Snare received clearance for market based on
functional and safety testing detailed in the original premarket
notification K901502.
Conclusion:The Amplatz Goose Neck Snare is substantially equivalent
to the predicate devices based on design and indications for use.

Dear Ms. Colley:

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 aqainst misbranding and adulteration.
