The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and physiological function of an intra-aortic balloon catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, and complications of heart failure. It works by increasing blood supply to the heart muscle and decreasing the workload for the left ventricle, which are therapeutic actions.
No
This device is an Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheter, which is described as a therapeutic device used to increase blood supply to the heart muscle and decrease the workload for the left ventricle by inflating and deflating an intra-aortic balloon. It is intended for conditions like Acute Coronary Syndrome and Complications of Heart Failure, all of which are treatment indications, not diagnostic indications. There is no mention of it being used to detect, identify, or assess a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with lumens, an inflatable bladder, and a guidewire, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is a percutaneously inserted Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheter. It is inserted into the body (specifically the aorta) to assist with cardiac function.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes clinical conditions that the device is used to treat or manage within the body, not to diagnose conditions based on samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The device is a dual lumen percutaneously inserted Intra-Aortic IAB catheter, 8 Fr. in size, with two independent non-communicating lumens. The outer lumen is comprised of an inflatable bladder connected to the catheter distal tip and to the IAB tip outer surface. The inner lumen is comprised of a Luer adapter connected to the proximal end of the inner lumen and to the IAB tip inner surface. The IAB inner lumen is used for placement of the device with a guidewire and the outer lumen is used to shuttle helium gas to and from the inflatable bladder. The IAB is timed to inflate in the aorta during the diastolic relaxation of the heart and deflate during the systolic contraction of the heart, resulting in increased blood supply to the heart muscle and decreased work load for the left ventricle.
The catheter is available in two sizes, 30cc and is identical in appearance and function to the predicate devices.

§ 870.3535 Intra-aortic balloon and control system.
(a)
Identification. An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device;
(ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed;
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components;
(v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear William Paquin:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 18, 2000.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
