Intended Use

Single-Loop Snare Retrieval Kit and Triple-Loop Snare Retrieval Kit are intended for the percutaneous removal of retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters that are no longer medically required, via jugular approach.

Device Story

Single-use percutaneous retrieval system; includes 9F inner sheath, 11F outer sheath, 8F dilator, hemostasis valve, stopcock, and snare catheter with either single-loop or triple-loop snare. Snares feature radiopaque loops; catheter components include radiopaque marker bands for fluoroscopic visualization. Operated by physicians in clinical settings; device inserted percutaneously via jugular approach to capture and remove IVC filters. Fluoroscopy guides placement and retrieval. Modification involves change to inner layer material of 11F outer sheath.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including supplemental verification of the modified outer sheath and biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity, acute systemic toxicity, and hemocompatibility).

Technological Characteristics

Disposable percutaneous retrieval kit. Materials include radiopaque snare loops and marker bands. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-4, 5, 10, 11, 23. Testing includes ASTM hemolysis, complement activation, PTT, and platelet/leukocyte counts. Mechanical testing includes tensile strength, liquid leakage, and simulated use. No energy source; manual operation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for percutaneous removal of retrievable IVC filters no longer medically required via jugular approach.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Dear Ana Jimenez-Hughes:

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.

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

{1}------------------------------------------------

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
