Intended Use
The PowerMidline™ Catheter is intended for short term peripheral access for selected intravenous therapies, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media.
Device Story
PowerMidline™ Catheters are peripherally placed, radiopaque, body-softening polyurethane catheters; feature kink-resistant, reverse-taper design. Available in 3F and 4F single-lumen configurations; 20 cm trimmable lengths. Used for short-term (<30 days) vascular access; inserted percutaneously via modified Seldinger technique with guidewire. Compatible with power injectors for contrast media administration. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Output is vascular access for fluid/therapy delivery and blood sampling. Benefits include reliable short-term peripheral access and power injection capability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Tests included dimensional characterization, tensile strength, leak/burst pressure, priming volume, radiopacity (ASTM F640-79), power injection flow rates, tip displacement, and cyclic kink. Biocompatibility/sterilization testing per ISO 10993-5, 7, and 10. Risk management per ISO 14971.
Indicated for short term access to the peripheral venous system for selected intravenous therapies, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media. Suitable for any patient population, contingent upon vascular anatomy and procedure appropriateness.
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.

Dear Mr. Coombs:
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. 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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.

The indications for use statement is different between the subject device and predicate device. Specifically, the subject device indications for use includes a statement indicating that the device may be used with any patient population when consideration is given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of the procedure, whereas the predicate device indications for use does not include this statement. This difference in the indications for use does not alter the intended use of the device (i.e., access to the vascular system for administration of fluids intravenously, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media). The purpose of this information is to specify that prior to use of the subject device, the user should consider the patient's vascular anatomy and appropriateness of using the subject device for the intended procedure. The statement does not prescribe a different general purpose or function of the device, nor does it prescribe a different patient population, therapeutic or diagnostic use of the subject device compared to the predicate device. Therefore, this difference in indications for use between the subject and predicate devices does not raise different questions of equivalence.
### Performance Tests
The performance tests completed on the subject device were limited to those tests required to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate/reference devices. Additionally, when technological characteristics between the subject and predicate/reference devices were found to be identical, results of performance testing conducted on the predicate/reference devices were applied to the subject device. The following table identifies the performance tests completed on the subject device, including the standards associated to each test.

The following sterilization and biological tests were also performed on the subject device:
- . Sterilant Residual Testing - ISO 10993-7: 2008, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 7: Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Residuals
- . Cytotoxicity - ISO 10993-5: 2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
- Sensitization/Irritation ISO 10993-10: 2010, Biological evaluation of . medical devices – Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization
The subject device met all predetermined acceptance criteria derived from the above listed tests and demonstrated substantially equivalent performance as compared to the cited predicate and reference devices.
