The Pleurx Pleural Catheter Kits are indicated for intermittent, long term drainage of symptomatic, recurrent, pleural effusion, including malignant pleural effusion and other recurrent effusions that do not respond to medical management of the underlying disease. The devices are indicated for 1) the palliation of dyspnea due to pleural effusion and 2) providing pleurodesis (resolution of the pleural effusion). The Pleurx Drainage Kits and Drainage Line Set are indicated for use only with the Pleurx Catheter for intermittent drainage. The Drainage Line Kit is used to drain fluid using standard wall suction, water seal drainage system, vacuum bottle or other appropriate method. The Pleurx Catheter Access Kit is intended to provide access to the Pleurx Catheter to inject or withdraw fluids.
Device Story
Pleurx Pleural Catheter System provides home-based drainage of symptomatic, recurrent pleural effusions. System consists of percutaneously tunneled, indwelling pleural catheter and associated drainage kits. Catheter features internal fenestrations, radiopaque markings, cuff, and external valve. Access kit allows injection or withdrawal of fluids, including sclerosing agents (Talc, Bleomycin). Device used by patients or caregivers for intermittent drainage; fluid drained via vacuum bottle, wall suction, or water seal system. System facilitates symptom relief (dyspnea) and pleurodesis. No electronic components or software.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were conducted for this submission. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing and biocompatibility evaluations.

Dear Ms. Greidanus:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
