The FiberOptix® IAB Catheter is utilized for intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation therapy in the aorta, whereby balloon inflation, during diastole and deflation during systole increases blood supply to the heart muscle and decreases work of the left ventricle.
Device Story
FiberOptix IAB Catheter consists of inflatable balloon, inner/outer lumens, and embedded fiber optic pressure sensor at distal tip. Used with Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) control system. Device placed in aorta; IABP regulates inflation/deflation cycles. Inflation during diastole increases myocardial blood supply; deflation during systole reduces left ventricular workload. Used in clinical settings (e.g., OR, ICU) by trained healthcare providers. Fiber optic sensor provides real-time pressure monitoring to guide pump timing. Modified sensor configuration improves mechanical robustness compared to predicate. Benefits include improved cardiovascular function via counterpulsation therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing included insertion, durability, and static pressure tests, including simulated misuse scenarios. Results met all acceptance criteria and demonstrated performance equivalent to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Catheter includes inflatable balloon, inner/outer lumens, and embedded fiber optic pressure sensor. Operates via connection to external IABP control system. Modified design features fiber optic sensor configuration along distal length for increased robustness. Sterilization and specific material standards not disclosed.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, those undergoing Cardiac or Non-Cardiac Surgery, or those experiencing complications of Heart Failure.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.

Dear Apurva Gokhale:
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.
