Indications for Use

Boston Scientific Guide Catheters are intended for use in general intravascular, coronary and peripheral applications. They provide a pathway through which medical instruments, such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices may be introduced. These devices are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.

Device Story

6F RunWay Guide Catheter provides pathway for introduction of diagnostic/therapeutic instruments (balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires) into intravascular, coronary, and peripheral vasculature. Device is 6F outer diameter, 40-125 cm length, with optional side holes. Construction includes three-layer shaft (inner, middle, outer) with varying durometers of Arnitel for flexibility zones and Vestodur 3000 for strength. Distal tip features reinforced and non-reinforced portions. Braid pattern utilizes 32 stainless steel wires (0.001") and 16 stainless steel/tungsten wires (0.002") for backup support. Used by physicians in clinical settings; sterile, single-procedure use. Provides access for interventional procedures; facilitates delivery of therapeutic devices to target sites.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluation included shaft and distal segment tensile and elongation, tip tensile, tip deflection, hub-to-shaft tensile, pressure shaft burst and leak, torque response, lumen integrity, radiopacity, biocompatibility, package pouch burst, and shelf life testing.

Technological Characteristics

6F guide catheter; multi-layer shaft (Arnitel, Vestodur 3000); braid pattern (32 x 0.001" stainless steel, 8 x 0.002" stainless steel, 8 x 0.002" tungsten wires); 6F outer diameter; 40-125 cm lengths; sterile; single-use. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring general intravascular, coronary, or peripheral procedures where a pathway for medical instruments (e.g., balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires) is needed. Not indicated for use in cerebral vasculature.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

#### 6.3 Device Description

6.2

The Boston Scientific 6F RunWay Guide Catheters are similar to the currently marketed 6F Mach1 Guide Catheter, with the addition of Vestodur to the shaft for added strength, a different blend of Hytrel in the tip, a different colorant used in the shaft, and a different braid pattern using thirty-two 0.001" stainless steel wires, eight 0.002" Stainless Steel wires, and eight 0.002" Tungsten wires to strengthen the catheter for better backup support.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# Section 6

The Boston Scientific RunWay Guide Catheters are designed to provide a pathway through which medical instruments such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other diagnostic or therapeutic devices may be introduced. These devices are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The RunWay catheters will be offered in a 6F outer diameter, available in lengths ranging from 40-125 cm, with optional side holes. The devices are provided sterile and intended for one procedure use only.

The RunWav catheters are manufactured using similar construction techniques as other currently marketed Boston Scientific guide catheters. The catheter shaft consists of three layers: inner, middle, and outer. The outer laver is composed of three segments.

The outer laver segments one and two consist of various durometers of Amitel. Segment three is a blend of Vestodur 3000 and Arnitel. Vestodur is added to the shaft to strengthen the catheter. The use of varying durometers of Amitel provides specific flexibility zones at the distal end of the catheter. The tip consists of a reinforced portion and a non-reinforced portion.

#### 6.4 Intended Use

Boston Scientific Guide Catheters are intended for use in general intravascular, coronary and peripheral applications. They provide a pathway through which medical instruments, such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices may be introduced. These devices are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.

#### ર્ભ રહ્યું હતું. સ Summary of Technological Characteristics

The 6F RunWay Guide Catheter utilizes similar materials and methods of construction as the currently marketed 6F Mach1 guide catheter, cleared for market under K010874, June 21, 2001. The differences in construction are in the braid pattern of the shaft, shaft colorant, shaft material, and the distal tip blend.

#### 6.6 Non-clinical Test Summary

Testing and evaluation of the 6F RunWay Guide Catheter consisted of shaft and distal segment tensile and elongation, tip tensile, tip deflection, hub to shaft tensile, pressure shaft burst and leak, torque response, lumen integrity and radiopacity. Biocompatibility, package pouch burst, and product shelf life testing have also been conducted. Test results verified that the 6F RunWay Guide Catheters are adequate for the intended use. The 6F RunWay guide catheters are considered substantially equivalent to the currently marketed 6F Mach1 Guide Catheters based on a comparison of the intended use, the device design, and the results of in-vitro testing and evaluation.

### Dear Ms. Erickson:

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.
