Intended Use
A P.A.S. PORT® system is indicated when patient therapy requires repeated venous access for injection or infusion therapy and/or venous blood sampling.
Device Description
The P.A.S. PORT® Elite System is similar to the current commercially available P.A.S. PORT System. The systems have the identical outlet tube, catheter connector and catheter. The P.A.S. PORT® Elite System differs from the current commercially available P.A.S. PORT System as follows: modified portal shape, increased septum diameter, new portal housing material, and a pierceable rear suture hole. The P.A.S. PORT® Elite System will be made available with a sensor assembly and/or introducer set.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implantable venous access system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML. The changes described are purely physical modifications to the device's structure and materials.

No
A therapeutic device actively treats or cures a condition. This device is a venous access system, acting as a portal for administering therapy, not the therapy itself.

No

The device is indicated for repeated venous access for injection or infusion therapy and/or venous blood sampling, which are therapeutic and collection functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a portal shape, septum, portal housing material, suture hole, sensor assembly, and introducer set, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "repeated venous access for injection or infusion therapy and/or venous blood sampling." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering substances or collecting samples directly from the bloodstream.
  • Device Description: The description details an "Implantable Venous Access System" with components like a portal, septum, catheter, etc. These are all parts of a system designed to be surgically placed within the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The intended use does not mention any diagnostic purpose. It's about accessing the venous system for therapeutic or sampling purposes, not for analyzing samples in vitro to diagnose a condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on functional testing (septum puncture, leakage, clearance) and biocompatibility, which are relevant for an implanted medical device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Functional Testing: In-vitro testing was conducted in accordance with the FDA "Guidance on 510(k) Submissions for Implanted Infusion Ports," dated October 1990. The testing included septum puncture, system leakage and clearance testing. Biocompatibility testing was conducted on system components.
Clinical Studies: Clinical studies were not deemed necessary regarding the P.A.S. PORT® Elite Implantable Venous Access System due to its similarity in materials, design and function to current SIMS Deltec systems and other commercially available systems.
Conclusions: The results of the testing indicated that the P.A.S. PORT® Elite Implantable Venous Access System functions according to specification and the materials used in the system are biocompatible. Therefore, the system is considered acceptable for human use.

§ 880.5965 Subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter.

(a)
Identification. A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.(b)
