More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a purely mechanical device (catheter with balloons) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes.
The device is intended for "removing arterial emboli," which is a direct treatment for a medical condition.

No
The device is described as an embolectomy catheter used for removing arterial emboli, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Single Lumen Embolectomy catheter with three 100% silicone balloons," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "Single Lumen Embolectomy catheter with three 100% silicone balloons" intended for "Removing arterial emboli." This is a device used within the body (in vivo) to physically remove blockages.

The information provided describes a surgical or interventional device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

PREDICATED DEVICECatheter Embolectomy K881455 and K905139,
American BioMed, (CathLab Corp.) and Baxter
Fogarty® Arterial Embolectomy Catheter.
DEVICE DESCRIPTIONSingle Lumen Embolectomy catheter with three
100% silicone balloons. Catheter intended for use
in removing arterial emboli. Sizes 2 to 7 French.
INDICATIONSRemoving arterial emboli.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICSThis modification of K881455 and K905139,
changes the number of balloons, two balloons are
located at the distal end for embolus removal
purpose, the third balloon is located at the proximal
end as a safety balloon to prevent over injection of
fluid.

Dear Mr. Knauss:

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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (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 Reqister. 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.
