The Rocket Indwelling Pleural Catheter (IPC) Insertion Kit (Model # R51400-16-PL and R51400-MI-PL) is 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 underlying disease. The device is indicated for: - The palliation of dyspnea due to pleural effusion - Providing pleurodesis (resolution of the pleural effusion) This device should only be used by or under the supervision of trained personnel and in conjunction with current clinical practice guidelines.
Device Story
Rocket IPC Insertion Kit provides fenestrated silicone catheter for intermittent, long-term drainage of pleural effusions; includes drainage line, accessories for insertion/dressing, and optional lidocaine/DuraPrep. Catheter features polyester cuff for tissue attachment and one-way silicone valve to prevent backflow of air/fluid into pleural space. Used in clinical settings by trained personnel (surgeons/physicians). Catheter connects to vacuum bottles or wall suction via drainage line. Output is pleural fluid drainage; clinical benefit includes symptom relief (palliation of dyspnea) and pleurodesis. Kit provided sterile, single-use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Predicate performance data (resistance to deformation, force at break, leakage) and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1) are leveraged. Lidocaine HCl tested post-EtO sterilization per USP monograph; DuraPrep validated for EtO cycles.
Indicated for patients with symptomatic, recurrent pleural effusion (including malignant) unresponsive to medical management. Used for palliation of dyspnea and to provide pleurodesis. For use by or under supervision of trained personnel.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A patient care suction apparatus is a device used with an intrathoracic catheter to withdraw fluid from the chest during the recovery period following surgery.

There have been no technological modifications made to the subject device Technological catheter or drainage line as it relates to the predicate device (they are and identical), therefore the performance of the subject device catheter and Performance drainage line is identical to the performance of the predicate device. Comparison: Currently licensed Lidocaine HCl, USP and DuraPrep have been added as accessories to the Pleural IPC convenience kit, but they do not affect the technology, performance or principle of operation of the catheter and drainage line. The Lidocaine HCl, USP and DuraPrep were cleared as kit components in the Reference predicate (K162457). The Lidocaine HCL, USP was tested post EtO sterilization per the Lidocaine HCl, USP monograph and confirmed it met all Lidocaine HCl, USP monograph requirements as labeled. The DuraPrep is validated for 2 cycles of EtO sterilization by the manufacturer.

Comparison of subject device updated kit accessories to predicate and Reference predicate:
Summary of Because the subject device catheter and drainage line are identical to the Performance predicate device, and no manufacturing or packaging materials or processes Testing: have changed and the sterilization method has not changed, no new performance, packaging, biocompatibility or shelf life testing was performed for this submission in order to establish substantial equivalence. Performance testing on the predicate included resistance to deformation, force at break-connections, force at break- drainage catheters and all other parts, and freedom from leakage. All testing met acceptance criteria. Biocompatibility testing on the predicate included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, system toxicity, subchronic toxicity, genotoxicity, implantation, exhaustive extraction, and biological risk assessment. All testing met acceptance criteria. The shelf life will not exceed the shelf life of any of its kit components. The Lidocaine HCl, USP and DuraPrep were cleared as kit components in the Reference predicate (K162457). Lidocaine HCl, USP was tested post sterilization per the Lidocaine HCl, USP monograph and confirmed it met all Lidocaine HCl, USP requirements as labeled. DuraPrep is validated by the manufacturer for two EtO sterilization cycles and therefore required no additional testing.
{9}------------------------------------------------
| Conclusion: | Rocket Medical considers the Rocket IPC Indwelling Pleural Insertion Set<br>with Lidocaine and DuraPrep to be substantially equivalent to the predicate<br>and Reference predicate devices listed above. This conclusion is based upon<br>the fact that the subject device catheter and drainage line technological<br>features, principle of operation, materials, biocompatibility, performance,<br>packaging and sterilization are identical to the predicate. Also, all kit<br>components including currently licensed Lidocaine HCl, USP and DuraPrep<br>and four updated kit accessories (two cosmetic and two material changes<br>identified in the table above: Comparison of updated kit accessories to<br>predicate and Reference predicate) are identical and have the same shelf life<br>as the Reference predicate. The Lidocaine HCl, USP was tested post EtO<br>sterilization per the Lidocaine HCl, USP monograph and met all USP<br>requirements as labeled. The difference in the Indication for Use statements<br>of the subject and predicate as described above (exclusion of Bottle Sets and<br>Dressing Packs for subject device) have not changed the intended use or<br>substantial equivalence of the devices. |
