The SecurAcath device is intended to secure catheters by means of a subcutaneous anchor.
Device Story
SecurAcath is a standalone subcutaneous anchoring system for securing percutaneous indwelling catheters. It utilizes a blunt nitinol anchor deployed into the subcutaneous space at the access site; the catheter shaft is clamped between a base assembly and a cover. This mechanism reduces catheter migration and accidental pull-out without impeding fluid flow. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings to secure intravenous or drainage catheters. It functions as a mechanical accessory to improve catheter stability and patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance testing included bench testing: dimensional verification, functional tests, securement reliability, catheter interaction, and human factor design validation. Results demonstrate the device meets specifications and functions as intended.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, sterile, standalone mechanical securement device. Features a blunt nitinol anchor for subcutaneous deployment and a base/cover assembly for catheter clamping. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for catheter securement to the access site via subcutaneous anchors for short or long-term use with percutaneous indwelling catheters for intravenous use or abscess/general drainage.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular catheter securement device is a device with an adhesive backing that is placed over a needle or catheter and is used to keep the hub of the needle or the catheter flat and securely anchored to the skin.

### 8.2 PREDICATE DEVICE
The SecurAcath is substantially equivalent to the following:
- · K180769 Interrad Medical SecurAcath
### DEVICE DESCRIPTION 8.3
The SecurAcath device is a standalone subcutaneous anchoring securement system used to secure the catheter to the access site. The securement is achieved by means of a blunt nitinol anchor deployed into the subcutaneous space at the catheter access site, and the clamping of the catheter shaft between the Base Assembly and Cover of the device.
### 8.4 INTENDED USE
The SecurAcath device is intended to secure catheters by means of a subcutaneous anchor.
### 8.5 INDICATIONS FOR USE
The SecurAcath Device is indicated for catheter securement to the access site by means of subcutaneous anchors in:
- a) Short or long-term securement of percutaneous indwelling catheters for intravenous use
- b) Short and long-term securement of percutaneous indwelling catheter for abscess/general drainage
### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 8.6
The SecurAcath is a single use, sterile device for securing indwelling catheters. The device is a stand-alone accessory to percutaneous indwelling catheters. The securement to the catheter access site is achieved by means of a blunt nitinol Anchor deployed into the subcutaneous space at the catheter access site. The securement of the catheved by the clamping of the catheter shaft between the Base Assembly and Cover of the device. This reduces catheter migration and accidental pull-out while not significantly affecting fluid flow. The SecurAcath has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device (K180769)
### 8.7 PERFORMANCE DATA
Performance tests include dimensional verification, functional tests and securement reliability. The company performed testing to demonstrate that the device meets product specifications and is able to secure catheters to access sites. The device uses the same material as its predicate device and meets the same specifications as its predicate devices. Test results demonstrate that the device functions as intended. The following tests were performed:
Dimensional Base & Cover Interaction Catheter Securement Performance Catheter Interaction Human Factor Design Validation
{5}------------------------------------------------
### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 8.8
The SecurAcath device covered by this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate Interrad Medical SecurAcath device K180769.
The SecurAcath has the same intended use as the predicates. The SecurAcath has the same technological characteristics and operating principles as the predicate SecurAcath.
The differences in indication for use of the SecurAcath and the predicates do not raise new questions of safety and efficacy.
The SecurAcath is determined to be substantially equivalent to the Revolution catheter securement device and the presently marketed Interrad Medical SecurAcath (K180769)
### CONCLUSION 8.9
The results of these activities demonstrate that the SecurAcath is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.
