Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.

### Indications for Use ર્સ્ડ
The Indications for Use for the 5 Fr SL PowerGroshong™ PICC Catheter is as follows:
The PowerGroshong™ PICC is intended for short or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and power injection of contrast media. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 4 ml/sec for power injection of contrast media.
#### Device Description 5.6
The PowerGroshong™ PICC catheters are valved, long-term peripheral access catheters. The catheters are made of silicone material to which a blue and purple colorant have been added. Blue colorants were added to the catheter materials to allow the users to identify the catheter as a Groshong distally valved catheter. Purple colorants were added to the catheter materials to provide the catheter with an appearance that allows the end user to differentiate Bard's power injectable catheters from other manufacturers' power injectable catheters. The PowerGroshong™ PICC catheters are available in 5 Fr single lumen catheter configuration. The catheters are packaged in basic and full with microintroducer kits that incorporate kit components designed to meet the needs of the respective placer.
#### 5.7 Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices
The technological characteristics of the 5 Fr SL PowerGroshong™ PICC are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices in terms of intended use, application, basic design, performance, labeling, packaging and sterilization method.
#### 5.8 510(k) Substantial Equivalence Decision Tree
New device is compared to Marketed Device? Yes.
Does the new device have the same indication statement and intended use as the predicate? Yes. The intended use and indications for use are a combination of the indications from the predicate Groshong® nXt and PowerPICC® catheters 510(k) K023374 and K053501.
Does the new device have the same technological characteristics, e.g. design, materials, etc.? Not in all regards. The principles of operation and basic design are the same as the predicate devices. The main difference is the addition of the power injection to a valved catheter.
# Could the new characteristics affect safety or effectiveness?
Yes. The design changes may affect safety or effectiveness of the device.
Do the new characteristics raise new types of safety and effectiveness questions? No. Safety and effectiveness questions are the same as for the predicate devices.
Do accepted scientific methods exist for assessing effects of the new characteristics? Yes. Testing was performed to assess the new characteristics and was based on the following applicable standards and FDA guidance document:
- o Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Short-Term and Long-Term Intravascular Catheters, dated 3/16/95

# Are performance data available to assess effects of new characteristics?
Yes. Bench testing was based on the above referenced guidance document and standards. All test results confirm that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
### 5.9 Conclusion
The 5 Fr SL PowerGroshong™ PICC met all the performance criteria of the tests performed and, based on FDA's decision tree, is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices, the 5 Fr DL Groshong® nXt PICC and the 6 Fr TL PowerPICC® Catheter covered by: K023374 and K053501 respectively.
