Dear Prithul Bom:

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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

# Comparison of Predicate Devices

The intended use for the Protaryx Transseptal Puncture device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device - East End Medical SafeCross device. The secondary predicate device and reference device - Boston Scientific VersaCross RF Wire (ProTrack RF Anchor Wire) and Boston Scientific VersaCross Transseptal Sheath were used to support the basis for substantial equivalence.

The Protaryx Transseptal Puncture Device combines the features/ functions of these devices into a single device. The proposed and predicate devices share the same fundamental scientific technology, including principles of operation and mechanism of action (see Table 1 below) using an RF Guidewire as the means of access. The differences in design and technological characteristics between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The results of verification and validation testing demonstrate substantial equivalence of the Protaryx Transseptal Puncture device with the combined predicate devices.
