Pre-inserted stiffening stylet. Sterilized via 100% Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Complies with ISO 10555-1, ASTM F640-12, and ISO 80369-7.
Indications for Use
Indicated for short term access to the peripheral venous system for intravenous therapies, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media in patients older than 28 days and weighing more than 10 kg, based on vascular anatomy and procedure appropriateness.
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.

### Dear Mina Jiang:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

#### Performance Testing
PFM Medical, Inc. conducted a risk analysis per ISO 14971: Medical devices – Application of risk management of medical devices to assess the risk profile of the 4F DL primeMIDLINE™ catheter. Control mechanisms, including design verification testing, were defined to mitigate the identified risks and to demonstrate that the devices perform as intended. Below is a listing of non-clinical testing that was conducted on the subject device:
| Visual Inspection | Tensile Strength |
|-----------------------------|--------------------------|
| Dimensional Characteristics | Catheter Elongation |
| Radiopacity | Lifecycle Performance |
| Catheter Collapse | Static Burst Pressure |
| Leak | Suture Wing Integrity |
| Priming Volume | Luer Testing |
| Gravity Flowrate | Power Injection Flowrate |
The following standards and FDA guidance documents were utilized in the testing listed above:
- ISO 10555-1:2013, Intravascular Catheters - Sterile and Single-Use Catheters
- ASTM F640-12 – Standard Test Methods for Determining Radiopacity for Medical Use
- ISO 80369-7:2016, Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications -Part 7: Connectors for intravascular or hypodermic applications
- FDA Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Short-Term and Long-Term Intravascular Catheters
- PFM Medical Internal Standards
Additionally, the primeMIDLINE™ catheters were subjected to applicable biocompatibility testing as required per ISO 10993-1: Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process:
| Cytotoxicity | Sensitization |
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------|
| Irritation or Intracutaneous<br>Reactivity | Acute Systemic Toxicity |
| Material Mediated | Subacute/Subchronic Toxicity |
| Pyrogenicity | |
| Genotoxicity | Carcinogenicity |
| Chronic Toxicity | Hemocompatibility |
| Implantation | Particulate |
| Complement Activation Assay | |
The subject device met all predetermined acceptance criteria as defined in the referenced Standards, FDA Guidance Document or PFM Medical, Inc. Internal Standards.
#### Conclusion
Based on detailed comparison of intended use, technological characteristics and performance testing of the subject and predicate device, the 4F DL primeMidline Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate primeMidline Catheters. Risk identification and validation activities ensure that the risk acceptability criteria have been met, and the risks have been mitigated.
