Intended Use
CT Injector: Administration of contrast and flushing media in conjunction with computed tomography (CT) scanning of the body. EDA: The Extravasation Detection Accessory is indicated for the detection of extravasations of contrast media during CT using a power injector.
Device Story
EmpowerCTA Injector System is a motor-driven, software-controlled, venous-side, low-pressure injector. It uses one or two consumable syringes to displace contrast and flushing media into a peripheral vein. A linear actuator controls syringe piston displacement. The system includes an Extravasation Detection Accessory (EDA) using bio-impedance sensing via an electrode patch to detect contrast media leakage. Operated by clinicians in a CT suite, the device features a remote control with a touchscreen and an injector head with membrane keys. The system provides automated flow rate, volume, and pressure control. Output is displayed on the remote console, allowing the clinician to monitor injection progress and extravasation status. The device benefits patients by automating contrast delivery and providing real-time extravasation detection, potentially reducing complications associated with contrast administration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing verified flow rate accuracy (±5%), delivery volume accuracy (±2%), and pressure limiting capabilities. Bio-impedance sensing accuracy was validated against calibrated endpoints. Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety were confirmed per IEC/EN 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Syringe-based injector; motor-driven linear actuator; bio-impedance sensing for extravasation detection. Connectivity includes external CT trigger port. Power: 100/240 VAC auto-seeking. Dimensions/form factor: Floor or overhead mounted injector head with remote console. Software-controlled. Safety standards: IEC/EN 60601-1, IEC/EN 60601-1-2, UL 2601-1/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for administration of ionic/non-ionic contrast and flushing media during CT scanning of the body. EDA indicated for detection of contrast media extravasation during powered CT injections.
Regulatory Classification
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a non-patient contacting balloon inflation syringe intended only to inflate/deflate balloon catheters and monitor pressure within the balloon, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

Dear Mr. Hartman:
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.
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 comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
{1}------------------------------------------------
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
| 8xx.1xxx | (301) 594-4591 |

### Indications for Use:
CT Injector: Administration of nonionic and ionic compounds and flushing media in conjunction with computed tomography (CT) scanning of the body.
The EDA is intended to detect extravasations of ionic and non-ionic contrast media during powered CT contrast injections.
#### Device Description:
The EmpowerCTA Injector System is an injection system that uses one or two consumable syringe(s) to displace contrast media and flushing media to the patient. A motor driven linear actuator controls displacement of the syringe piston. This method of contrast injection is consistent with predicate devices from E-Z-EM for over 12 years. This new version of the EmpowerCT Injector family addresses the addition of a second syringe for the device for purposes of displacing flushing media.
A summary of the device as compared to the predicate device is as follows:
