Intended Use
The Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System - For Use In Biliary Indication device is intended to maintain patency of a bile duct which is occluded by a malignant tumor.
Device Description
The device consists of a balloon expandable intralumenal stent premounted onto the balloon of an over-the-wire delivery catheter. The device has two radiopaque platinum markers imbedded on the inner shaft (at each end of the stent) to aid in the placement of the stent during fluoroscopy. The delivery system is compatible with 0.035" guidewires and has a useable length of 75cm to 90cm. The device is provided in a sterile package.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and delivery system of a stent, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is intended to maintain patency of a bile duct occluded by a malignant tumor, which is a treatment for a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a stent delivery system intended to maintain patency of a bile duct, functioning as a therapeutic device. It does not identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a stent, balloon, catheter, and radiopaque markers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) to physically maintain the patency of a bile duct. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is "to maintain patency of a bile duct which is occluded by a malignant tumor." This is a treatment or management function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical stent and delivery system, not a test kit or analytical instrument for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

The subject device for this 510(k) is identical to the predicate device with the exception of an alternate stent segment (component) and extended stent lengths. The flexible Medtronic AVE Stent was found to be substantially equivalent in K983008 approved November 25, 1998. Performance testing was conducted on the subject device for the purpose of direct comparison to the predicate device. The testing was chosen to highlight any differences between the subject device and the predicate device. The balloon materials have not been changed. The useable catheter length is not changed. The manufacturing process is not changed.
Test:
• Balloon Burst
• Bond Strength
• Balloon Deflation Time
• Crossing Profile
• Diameter versus Inflation Pressure
• Stent Free Area
• Stent Length
• Crush Strength
• Stent Recoil
• Stent Expansion
Purpose:
To compare the stent/delivery system of the subject device and the predicate device. The data will support a premarket notification for the Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System - For Use In Biliary Indication.
To create and compare the compliance curves for the subject device and the predicate device. The data will support a premarket notification for the Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System - For Use In Biliary Indication.
To compare the stent dimensional data for the subject device and the predicate device. The data will support a premarket notification for the Medtronic AVE Stent Delivery System - For Use In Biliary Indication.

Conclusions: The performance testing and comparison of the Peripheral AVE Stent Delivery System - For Use In Biliary Indication and the Medtronic AVE Stent Diameter versus Inflation Pressure prove the two devices are substantially equivalent.

(a)
Identification. A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Ms. Walton:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 and the limitations described below. 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.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings scction of the device's labeling:

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the vascular system have not been established.

Furthermore, the indication for biliary use must be prominently displayed in all labeling, including pouch, box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print.
