The PVS "Pivot™" Steerable Delivery System® Microcatheter is intended to be used to access tortuous vasculature for sub-selective controlled infusion or delivery of diagnostic, embolic, and therapeutic agents into the distal, peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature, and for guide wire exchange/support during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Device Story
PVS Pivot™ Steerable Delivery System® Microcatheter is a 1.9F/2.4F tubular device (~150 cm length) designed for navigation through tortuous vasculature. Device features a polymeric lumen (0.0165" ID) for delivery of contrast, drugs, or embolics; distal radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic visualization; and a proximal luer adapter. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device is tracked over a guidewire to reach target sites. Steerability allows navigation through complex anatomy. Output is the delivery of therapeutic/diagnostic agents at the distal tip. Benefits include improved access to distal vasculature for minimally invasive interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional inspection, hub integrity, flow rate, burst strength, tensile strength, guidewire compatibility, torsional strength, torqueability, and corrosion resistance per ISO 10555-1. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-1 for external communicating, blood contact, short duration (<24 hours) devices.
Technological Characteristics
Tubular microcatheter, 1.9F/2.4F, ~150 cm length. Polymeric construction with hydrophilic coating on distal segment. Two radiopaque markers at distal tip. Standard luer adapter. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1; performance per ISO 10555-1. Manual operation; no software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring sub-selective access to distal, peripheral, coronary, or neurovasculature for the delivery of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents, or for guidewire exchange/support during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous flush catheter is an attachment to a catheter-transducer system that permits continuous intravascular flushing at a slow infusion rate for the purpose of eliminating clotting, back-leakage, and waveform damping.

| Device<br>Description | The PVS "Pivot™" Steerable Delivery System® Microcatheter is a 1.9F/2.4F (nominal<br>distal/proximal) tubular device, ~150 cm in length, with a lumen to be used for delivery<br>of contrast, drugs, or embolics. The lumen is constructed from a polymeric material<br>and has an inside diameter of 0.0165". The device is coated on the outer diameter with<br>a lubricious coating over the distal segment of the device. Two radiopaque markers<br>are positioned at the distal tip of the device to aid visualization under fluoroscopy. The<br>proximal end of the device has a standard luer adapter for attachment of accessories<br>and can be used to flush the lumen. The subject device has the ability to access distal,<br>tortuous vasculature over a guide wire, deliver embolics and agents, and has the ability<br>to be steered like a guide wire as needed. | | | | |

Dear Mr. Gaykowski:
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. Ilsting 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 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 fisting (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
