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.

# 4. Device Description

The Arrow® Endurance™ Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System is a sterile, single use peripheral intravascular device designed to permit access to the peripheral vascular system. The insertion device consists of a handle with an integral needle, a passivelyactivated needle protection mechanism, guide wire with slider advancer, catheter release tab, and single-lumen catheter. The catheter is advanced over the needle and threaded over a guide wire into a peripheral vessel. The catheter system consists of a catheter body, juncture hub, integrated extension tubing with Luer hub, vent plug to prevent blood leakage during insertion, and a clamp.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The catheter is intended for short-term use to permit delivery of infusion therapies. infusion of blood and blood products, pressure monitoring, high pressure injection at a maximum of 325 psi, and withdrawal of blood.

The Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System is available in single lumen, 18 ga. 20 ga. and 22 ga. configurations with usable lengths of 6 cm (2.36") and 8 cm (3.15").

The overall device description of the subject and predicate Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter Systems are the same.

### 5. Intended Use

The Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System is intended for short- term use to permit delivery of infusion therapies, infusion of blood and blood products, pressure monitoring, high pressure injection and withdrawal of blood.

The subject Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System intended use statement is the same as the predicate Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System intended use statement.

## 6. Indications for Use

The ARROW Endurance catheter system permits access to the patient's peripheral vascular system for short-term use to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. The catheter may be used for high pressure injection. The safety feature is intended to minimize the risk of sharps injuries.

### 7. Technological Characteristics

The Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System (K152272 & K151513) in terms of indications for use, intended use, and functional performance.

The only changes made to the subject device Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System are the guide wire design change and the catheter release colorant change. The modifications to the device's guide wire are shortening the flexible distal portion of the wire and the removal of the stainless steel coil/spring on the distal end of the guide wire. The overall length of the guide wire and the core nitinol wire material are the same as the predicate Endurance device. The modification to the device's catheter release is the addition of one (1) colorant. The base resin will remain the same.

### Predicate(s) and Subject Device Comparison

With exception of the changes to the guide wire and the catheter release, no other changes have been made to the subject Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System in comparison to Arrow International's legally marketed predicate devices, the Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System (K152272 & K151513).

{6}------------------------------------------------

#### 8. Nonclinical Testing

Bench testing performed on the Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System supports substantial equivalence of the subject device. The following testing has been conducted as a result of the device modifications:

- . Biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1
- Applicable requirements from ISO 11070 including: ●
- o Surface: Extraneous Matter and Defects
- o Surface: Lubricant
- Guide wire Radio Detectability O
- Guide wire Fracture O
- Guide wire Flexure O
- Guide wire Tensile o
- Guide wire Stiffness ●
- Simulated Use Testing ●

#### 9. Conclusions

The predicate and subject Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System devices have the same indications for use, intended use, method of application and mechanism of release and are manufactured using the same processes, conditions, and aids. The results of the risk assessment and resultant testing performed have demonstrated that the proposed guide wire design and catheter release colorant change present no different questions of safety or effectiveness and therefore the subject device is considered substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices.
