## Indications for Use

The Renegade STC™ 18 is intended for general intravascular use, including neuro, peripheral and coronary vasculature. The catheter can be coaxially tracked over a steerable guidewire in order to access distal, tortuous vasculature. Once the subselective region has been accessed, the catheter can be used for controlled and selective infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials into vessels. The Renegade™ STC-18 Microcatheter is a sterile, single-use catheter and is available in lengths of 105 cm, 130 cm, and 150cm.

## Device Story

Renegade STC-18 is a sterile, single-use microcatheter; used in neuro, peripheral, and coronary vasculature. Device tracks coaxially over steerable guidewires to reach distal, tortuous vessels. Once positioned, enables controlled, selective infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Benefits include improved access to difficult-to-reach vascular regions for targeted therapy or diagnostics.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993.

## Technological Characteristics

Sterile, single-use microcatheter; available in 105 cm, 130 cm, and 150 cm lengths. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993.

## Regulatory Identification

An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

## Predicate Devices

- Renegade™ Hi-Flo Microcatheter
- Renegade™ Fiber Braided Microcatheter
- Excelsior™ 1018 Microcatheter
- Tracker® Excel™ 14

Dear Ms. Cameron:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 mav 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
