Device Story
Busse Epidural Catheter is a single-use, sterile device designed for the administration of local anesthetics into the epidural space. It is supplied either individually packaged or as a component within a sterile procedure kit; it is also available non-sterile for third-party kit packers. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. The catheter requires removal or replacement every 72 hours to maintain safety. By providing a reliable conduit for anesthetic delivery, the device facilitates regional anesthesia, potentially reducing systemic drug exposure and improving patient comfort during surgical or pain management procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed included L929 MEM Elution Test, Kligman Maximization Test, Intracutaneous Injection Test, Systemic Injection Test, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia Coli Reverse Mutation Assay, Hemolysis (Rabbit Blood), 14-day repeat dose intravenous toxicity study, and intramuscular implantation test (ISO).
Technological Characteristics
Single-use epidural conduction catheter. Materials evaluated for biocompatibility per ISO standards. Device is provided sterile or non-sterile for kit assembly. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the administration of local anesthetics into the epidural space for patients requiring epidural anesthesia.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An anesthesia conduction catheter is a flexible tubular device used to inject local anesthetics into a patient and to provide continuous regional anesthesia.

Dear Mr. Ansari:
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 such 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.
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 (240) 276-0120.
