Device Story
ON-Q* EchoSpark/T-bloc devices are catheters for regional anesthesia and pain management; used in clinical settings for continuous medication delivery. Catheter features stainless steel echogenic screw tip for ultrasound visualization; polyamide nylon (Pebax) tubing with barium sulfate radiopaque stripes; depth markings. Includes Nitinol stylet and polypropylene thread assist guide. Operated by clinicians; ultrasound guidance allows precise placement. Output is medication delivery to target site; benefits include improved visualization during placement and effective pain management. Not for intravascular use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with ISO 10555-1:2013, ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), and sterilization standards (ISO 11135-1:2007). No clinical data presented.
Indicated for patients undergoing continuous regional anesthesia and pain management procedures via perineural, intraoperative, or percutaneous routes. Contraindicated for intravascular delivery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An anesthesia conduction catheter is a flexible tubular device used to inject local anesthetics into a patient and to provide continuous regional anesthesia.

The emblem contains two stylized shapes, one white and one green, set against a dark blue background. The word "HALYARD" is written in a bold, sans-serif font, with each letter in dark blue.
The Indications for Use statements of the subject and predicate devices are the same (i.e., both are intended for regional anesthesia and pain management) except for the order in which the routes of administration are listed, additional specificity regarding indicated patient population, and the predicate includes a contraindication for use of the epidural space. The subject device does not contain a needle; therefore, the predicate contraindication is not applicable to this device. The listed order of routes of administration, additional specificity regarding indicated patient population, and removal of the non-applicable contraindication are not critical to the intended therapeutic or surgical use of the device and do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device when used as labeled.
Based on the design, labeling, and results of testing, the proposed new CONCLUSION: Echogenic Catheter does not raise any different questions of safety or effectiveness. The device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the predicate. The Echogenic Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate ON-Q* QuikBloc* Over-the-Needle Catheter Set.

SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION: ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit is designed for the Regional Anesthesia market to deliver medication for regional anesthesia and pain management. The Kit contains multiple components; one being Halyard Health's new Echogenic Catheter. The Echogenic Catheter is a closed tip catheter composed of polvamide nylon (Pebax) tubing that contains two radiopaque barium sulfate stripes, black pad printed depth markings, and a stainless steel echogenic screw tip that is visible under ultrasound. The catheter assembly will also include a stylet composed of Nitinol wire with an ABS Finger holder and a polypropylene thread assist quide in a sterile catheter sleeve composed of Tyvek and polyester.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: The ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit is indicated for delivery of medication for regional anesthesia and pain management. Routes of administration may be perineural, intraoperative, or percutaneous.
The ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Kit is indicated for patients undergoing continuous regional anesthesia and pain management procedures.

## TABLE 5.1 Kit Comparison
The Indications for Use statements of the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use (i.e., both are intended for regional anesthesia and pain management); however, the subject device indications for use has been expanded to identify the routes of administration and inclusion of the indicated patient population. The identification of the routes of administration and inclusion of the indicated patient population are not critical to the intended therapeutic or surgical use of the device and do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device when used as labeled.
Conclusion: The ON-Q* T-bloc* Echogenic Continuous Nerve Block Sets & Tray have substantially equivalent Indications for use, sterilization methods, packaging, and kit components as the predicate device, Peripheral Nerve Block Tray (K073187). The design enhancements of the subject device catheter raises no different questions of safety and effectiveness. The device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate.
