Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

| Size and Fill<br>Volumes | 3 mL/12 mL; 5 mL/12mL, 10 mL/12mL | 20 mL/20 mL |

Conclusion: The new device is identical to the predicate device in plastic materials composition, the form, and function (e.g. Flushing of vascular access devices). The two changes to the new device involve 1. Increase in syringe size from a 12 mL syringe to a 20 mL syringe and 2. Increase in the solution volume. Non-clinical verification testing for the proposed change involved chemical-physical, functional, and product stability testing. The results of testing conducted verify the new device performed in an equivalent manner to the predicate device. Therefore, the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Other companies have FDA 510(k) clearance for similar devices.
