Intended Use
CIRCON SURGITEK's Snap-N-Pee!™ Introducers are intended to be used to permit direct passage of catheters or other devices for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures (e.g., nephrostomy, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, etc.) in the urinary tract.
Device Description
The CIRCON SURGITEK Snap-N-Peel7M Introducer consists of a stepped dilator (with proximal Luer hub) that fits within an external sheath (with rotating locking collar). The dilator may be straight or curved and has a lumen to allow passage of fluids or a guidewire.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical introducer device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as an introducer to permit passage of other devices for diagnostic and surgical procedures, not to provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device is an introducer for passage of other devices to perform procedures, not for diagnostic purposes itself. While it facilitates diagnostic procedures, it does not directly perform them.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (stepped dilator, external sheath, Luer hub, rotating locking collar), indicating 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 "permitting direct passage of catheters or other devices for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures... in the urinary tract." This describes a device used within the body for procedural purposes, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical introducer system (dilator and sheath) designed to facilitate access to the urinary tract. This is consistent with a surgical or procedural device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to determining the presence or absence of a disease or condition through in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to provide access for other instruments during procedures.

CIRCON SURGITEK's Snap-N-Pee!™ Introducers are intended to be used to permit direct passage of catheters or other devices for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures (e.g., nephrostomy, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, etc.) in the urinary tract.

୧) Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

CIRCON SURGITEK's Snap-N-Peel™ Introducers are substantially equivalent' to the legally marketed Cook Peel-Away® Introducers and the Microvasive® Banana Peel™ Sheaths. CIRCON SURGITEK's devices employ the same design considerations, materials of construction and operating principles. The CIRCON SURGITEK devices also employ lengths, diameters, and smoothly finished contours similar to those of the predicate devices and are supplied sterile, for single use. Any differences between the CIRCON SURGITEK and Cook or Microvasive devices do not raise new questions regarding safety or effectiveness. None of the devices actively delivers any form of energy to the patient.

"The term, "substantially equivalent," is intended to reflect a determination of substantial equivalence under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and relates to the fact that the product can be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. Such a determination is not intended to have any bearing on matters relating to patents.

Re: K981611 Trade Name: Snap-N-Peel Introducers Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNY Dated: May 4, 1998 Received: May 6, 1998

Dear Dr. Ehmsen:

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 (OS) 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.
