Intended Use
Recommended for balloon atrioseptostomy, an accepted technique in most pediatric cardiology centers for the palliation of several congenital cardiac defects. Balloon atrioseptostomy is performed in conjunction with diagnostic cardiac catheterization and has been carried out after the diagnosis of several congenital cardiac defects: transposition of the great arteries, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainout pulmonary obstruction, tricuspid atresia, mitral stenosis, mitral atresia, and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
Device Story
The Z-6 Atrioseptostomy Catheter is a specialized medical device used during diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures in pediatric cardiology. It is designed to perform balloon atrioseptostomy, a procedure used to create or enlarge an opening in the atrial septum to improve blood flow in patients with specific congenital heart defects. The catheter is operated by a physician in a clinical or hospital setting. By inflating a balloon at the site of the atrial septum, the device facilitates the necessary cardiac intervention, providing palliative care for patients with conditions such as transposition of the great arteries or tricuspid atresia. The device assists in managing complex congenital cardiac anomalies, potentially improving hemodynamic stability in the patient.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric patients requiring balloon atrioseptostomy for palliation of congenital cardiac defects, including transposition of the great arteries, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with pulmonary obstruction, tricuspid atresia, mitral stenosis, mitral atresia, and pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A septostomy catheter is a special balloon catheter that is used to create or enlarge the atrial septal defect found in the heart of certain infants.

Dear Nichelle LaFlesh:
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. 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.
