Intended Use

The Scorpion Portal Vein Access Set is intended for transjugular liver access in diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Device Story

Portal vein access set facilitates transjugular liver access; used in diagnostic and interventional procedures. System includes 5F MPA catheter, puncturing tools (stylet or needle variations), and stiffening cannulas with cannula sheaths. Puncturing tools and cannulas feature curved distal ends and directional handles to guide access into hepatic vasculature and create portal vein pathway. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Device provides physical pathway for subsequent interventional steps. Modification involves removal of 10F introducer sheath and 10F dilator components.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data required. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including functional fit, hemostasis, leak, and simulative use testing. Performance and biocompatibility data (ISO 10993 series) leveraged from predicate K202141.

Technological Characteristics

Catheter introducer system. Components include 5F MPA catheter, stylet/needle puncturing tools, and stiffening cannulas. Features curved distal ends and directional handles. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-4, 5, 10, 11. Performance testing includes radiopacity, echogenicity, corrosion resistance, tensile/torque strength, and leak/burst pressure testing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring transjugular liver access for diagnostic or interventional procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Dear Scott Bishop:

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 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.

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 (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or
