Indications for Use
The React™ 68 Catheter is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature.
Device Story
The React 68 Catheter is a single-lumen, variable-stiffness, percutaneous catheter designed for navigating peripheral and neurovascular anatomy. It features a nitinol-reinforced structure, a PTFE liner, and a hydrophilic coating to facilitate tracking. A radiopaque platinum-iridium markerband at the distal tip allows for fluoroscopic visualization. The device is introduced into the vasculature via a split y-introducer sheath. It is operated by a physician in a clinical setting (e.g., interventional suite) to serve as a conduit for delivering interventional devices. The catheter's design balances proximal stiffness for pushability with distal flexibility for navigation. By providing a stable pathway, it enables the delivery of therapeutic devices to target sites, potentially improving procedural outcomes in neurovascular and peripheral interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), mechanical performance (ISO 10555-1), and sterility/pyrogenicity testing (ISO 11737-1, ANSI/AAMI ST72).

### Dear Ryan Kenney:
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.
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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
