Intended Use

The FlowMedica Benephit® Infusion Systems are intended to facilitate targeted renal therapy, or TRT®, the delivery of physician-specified agents to the kidneys via the renal arteries. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are indicated for use in patients undergoing medical, interventional, or surgical procedures, where the procedure carries an elevated risk of iatrogenic kidney injury for the patient. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are also indicated to facilitate TRT® in patients who have demonstrated symptoms of acute kidney injury, and in whom arterial catheterization for TRT® is feasible.

Device Story

Benephit Infusion Systems (CV, PV, PVMini, PVSolo, XT) facilitate targeted renal therapy (TRT) by delivering physician-specified agents directly to kidneys via renal arteries. Systems consist of bifurcated infusion catheter and vascular introducer sheath with dilator. CV system uses 2.4 Fr. nitinol hypo tube catheter and 8 Fr. sheath with Y-hub for simultaneous interventional device use. PV, PVMini, PVSolo, and XT systems use 4.8 Fr. braid-reinforced polymer catheter and 5 Fr. sheath for stand-alone or separate-access TRT. PVSolo allows single-branch infusion. Used in clinical settings (interventional/surgical) by physicians. Output is localized delivery of therapeutic agents to renal vasculature; enables renal protection during procedures; reduces systemic exposure to agents.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials; evidence based on post-production monitoring and a FlowMedica-sponsored post-market customer preference study. Data indicates devices perform as intended and are safe/effective for the proposed indications.

Technological Characteristics

Bifurcated infusion catheter and vascular introducer sheath. Materials: PTFE-lined, coil-reinforced polymer sheath; nitinol hypo tube (CV) or braid-reinforced polymer (PV/PVMini/PVSolo/XT) catheter shafts. Dimensions: 2.4 Fr. (CV) or 4.8 Fr. (others) catheter; 5 Fr. or 8 Fr. introducer sheaths. Single-lumen design. Radiopaque dilator included. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing medical, interventional, or surgical procedures with elevated risk of iatrogenic kidney injury, or patients with symptoms of acute kidney injury where arterial catheterization is feasible.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A continuous flush catheter is an attachment to a catheter-transducer system that permits continuous intravascular flushing at a slow infusion rate for the purpose of eliminating clotting, back-leakage, and waveform damping.

Benephit® Infusion Systems OCT 2 9 2008 # 510(k) Notification: K_088103 ### GENERAL INFORMATION #### Manufacturer: FlowMedica, Inc. 46563 Fremont Blvd Fremont, CA 94538 USA (510) 252-9500 Tel: (510) 252-9515 Fax: ### Contact Person: Jeff Elkins President & CEO Date Prepared: Monday, July 28, 2008 ### DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Benephit® family of infusion systems comprises the Benephit® CV, Benephit® PV, Benephit® PVMini, Benephit® PVSolo, and Benephit® XT systems. Each system includes a bifurcated infusion catheter and a vascular introducer sheath with dilator. Classification: Continuous flush catheter, 21 CFR 870.1210, class II Catheter introducer, 21 CFR 870.1340, class II Trade Name: FlowMedica Benephit® CV Infusion System FlowMedica Benephit® PV Infusion System FlowMedica Benephit® PVMini Infusion System FlowMedica Benephit® PVSolo Infusion System FlowMedica Benephit® XT Infusion System Generic/common name: Continuous flush catheter Catheter introducer {1}------------------------------------------------ KC52163 Page 2013 7/28/2008 ### PREDICATE DEVICES The FlowMedica Benephit® Infusion Systems, each being a legally marketed device per 21 CFR 807.92(a)(3), serve as their own predicates. Reference original 510(k) submissions K033569 (cleared January 13, 2004) and K050205 (cleared March 4, 2005). ### INTENDED USE The FlowMedica Benephit® Infusion Systems are intended to facilitate targeted renal therapy, or TRT®, the delivery of physician-specified agents to the kidneys via the renal arteries. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are indicated for use in patients undergoing medical, interventional, or surgical procedures, where the procedure carries an elevated risk of iatrogenic kidney injury for the patient. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are also indicated to facilitate TRT® in patients who have demonstrated symptoms of acute kidney injury, and in whom arterial catheterization for TRT® is feasible. ### PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS Each Benephit® Infusion System consists of a bifurcated infusion catheter and a vascular introducer sheath with dilator. The bifurcated infusion catheter in each of the Benephit® systems is a single-lumen infusion catheter with a bifurcated distal end that allows access to two locations (e.g., two renal arteries) for infusion simultaneously. Each system's introducer sheath is a PTFE-lined, coil reinforced polymer sheath with matching radiopaque dilator. The Benephit® CV system comprises a 2.4 Fr. bifurcated infusion catheter, utilizing a nitinol hypo tube shaft, and an 8 Fr. compatible introducer sheath with a unique Y-hub design. The Y-hub allows for introduction of the bifurcated infusion catheter and another interventional vascular device (up to 6 Fr. OD) simultaneously. This allows for targeted renal therapy (TRT) to be performed in conjunction with another interventional procedure through a single vascular access. The Benephit® PV, PVMini, PVSolo, and XT systems comprise a 4.8 Fr. bifurcated catheter utilizing a braid reinforced polymer shaft and a 5 Fr. compatible introducer sheath with a standard single hemostasis valve configuration. These systems provide a smaller vascular access to allow stand-alone TRT procedures or TRT in conjunction with non-interventional procedures (e.g., open surgery), or they may be used in conjunction with other interventional procedures via separate vascular access. In the case of the PVSolo uniquely, only a single infusion branch is active for infusion, allowing for TRT to a single renal artery when this is desired. ### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The Benephit® systems covered in this submission are identical in design, materials, processing, and technological characteristics as their predicate devices, and as such are substantially equivalent in those regards. The proposed change in this submission is in the indications for use only. The change in label indications reflects specific settings for {2}------------------------------------------------ K082103 Puyi 303 7/28/2008 the devices but does not alter their intended use, which is to provide targeted renal therapy, or TRT®. Because the intended use of the devices is not being changed, they are deemed substantially equivalent to their predicate devices. ### SUPPORT FOR NEW INDICATION & SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE An evaluation of data gained through normal post-production monitoring and from a FlowMedica-sponsored post-market customer preference study provides support for the new indication proposed. These data show that the Benephit devices perform as intended, and are safe and effective for their intended use and for the new label indication as proposed. Thus the Benephit devices with the proposed label indication change are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. #### SUMMARY The Benephit® CV, PV, PVMini, PVSolo, and XT Infusion Systems with modified indications for use as proposed here are substantially equivalent to their predicate devices. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
