### 1.4 Device Description
The Tri-Ad 2.0 Adams, Model 900SFC, consists of an MP35N polished and formed wire stiffener fitted with 2 end caps. The band is covered with a braided polyester fabric. The stiffener runs from the posteroseptal commissure to the anterior segment distal to the anteroposterior commissure. The stiffener helps remodel and stabilize the enlarged portion of the tricuspid annulus. The band has 3 radial green markers to locate the following 3 areas of the band:
- The end of the stiffener section at the posteroseptal commissure.
- The anteroposterior commissure. ●
- The end of the stiffener section in the anterior segment of the band. ●
A green demarcation suture runs around the middle of the band in the stiffener region. The band size refers to the dimension of the band where the implantation sutures are placed, except in the stiffener region. The internal stiffener, and the radiopaque core in both fully flexible ends of the band, provide radiographic visualization along the entire circumference of the band is available in the following sizes: 26 mm, 28 mm, 32 mm, 34 mm, and 36 mm.
#### 1.5 Indications for use
The Tri-Ad 2.0 Adams tricuspid band is indicated for the reconstruction or remodeling of pathological tricuspid valves. The band provides support and restricts expansion of the tricuspid annulus.

Dear Ms. Gray:
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);
