Device Story
CG+ Arrow JACC is a radiopaque polyurethane central venous catheter with Chlorhexidine-based antimicrobial/antithrombogenic coating. Preloaded with Arrow VPS Stylet, which contains a distal Doppler sensor and ivECG sensing wire. Stylet connects to VPS Console to provide real-time guidance during catheter placement. System detects cardiac electrical activity and blood flow to navigate catheter tip to SVC or cavo-atrial junction. Clinician monitors VPS Console output; a 'Blue Bullseye' indicator confirms correct tip positioning. Device facilitates accurate central venous access, reducing need for post-placement imaging confirmation in eligible patients. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including chlorhexidine content/elution/efficacy, mechanical hemolysis, solvent residuals, and comprehensive catheter performance testing (tensile, kink, flow, burst, leakage, and stylet electrical/simulated use testing).
Technological Characteristics
Radiopaque polyurethane (Tecothane/Tecoflex) catheter with Chlorhexidine-based coating. Stylet uses Doppler sensor and ivECG wire. Connectivity via cable to VPS Console. Sterilization: EtO. Dimensions: 4.5-6 Fr, 15-35 cm length. Pressure injectable up to 300 psi.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring short-term central venous access for IV therapy, blood sampling, infusion, and contrast media injection. Contraindicated/limited in patients with cardiac rhythm alterations (atrial fibrillation, flutter, severe tachycardia) or femoral/saphenous vein access, where P-wave morphology is altered; these patients require secondary confirmation methods.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

## Predicate Devices
- K103255: Vascular Positioning System (VPS System) Stylet .
- K121501: Arrow® Pressure Injectable Jugular Axillo-subclavian Central Catheter™ (JACC™) with Chlorag ard® Antimicrobial and Antithrombogenic Technology
### Device Description
The CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet has the following characteristics:
- . 4.5 French, 1-Lumen, 15-35 cm pressure injectable, antimicrobial and antithrombogenic catheter preloaded with VPS Stylet
- . 5.5 French, 2-Lumen, 15-35 cm pressure injectable, antimicrobial and antithrombogenic catheter preloaded with VPS Stylet
- . 6 French, 3-Lumen, 15-35 cm pressure injectable, antimicrobial and antithrombogenic catheter preloaded with VPS Stylet
The CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet is a CG+ Arrow JACC pre-loaded with the Arrow VPS Stylet and will be provided in sterile kit configurations. The CG+ Arrow JACC devices will also be provided in sterile kit configurations without the Arrow VPS Stylet preloaded in the catheter.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The CG+ Arrow JACC is a short-term or long-term, single use catheter designed to provide access to the central venous system. It consists of a non-tapered, radiopaque polyurethane extruded catheter body with a softer, contoured Blue Flex Tip. The catheter can be used for the injection of contrast media. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/sec for the 1-Lumen and 2-Lumen catheters and 6 mL/sec for the 3-Lumen catheter. The external catheter body and the internal fluid path of the device are treated with Chlorhexidine based coating technology.
The Arrow VPS Stylet is a polyimide tube containing a Doppler sensor on a coax cable and an intravascular electrocardiogram (ivECG) signal sensing stainless steel wire. The Doppler sensor and the exposed portion of the ivECG are located at the distal end of the stylet and are used to detect and transmit physiological information to the VPS Console for analysis. The proximal end contains a connector to the VPS Console or to an extension cable that in turn connects to the VPS Console. The stylet is designed to be compatible with any catheter with an inner luminal diameter of at least 0.021 inch.
### Intended Use
The CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet permits venous access to the central circulation through a central vein. The VPS Stylet, used with the VPS Console, quickly and accurately guides the central catheters to the desired location which is the lower third of the SVC or at the cavo-atrial junction.
#### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The subject CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet is substantially equivalent to the Vascular Positioning System (VPS) Stylet (K103255) and the Arrow Pressure Injectable Jugular Axillo-subclavian Central Catheter (JACC) with Chlorag ard Antimicrobial and Antithrombogenic Technology (K121501) in terms of indications for use, manufacturing process, conditions and aids, functional performance, safety, efficacy, fundamental scientific technology and materials of construction. There is no change to the previously cleared Arrow VPS Stylet device associated with this modification. The design of the predicate Arrow Pressure Injectable Jugular Axillo-subclavian Central Catheter (JACC) with Chlorae ard Antimicrobial and Antithrombogenic Technology has been modified to create the subject device. The following table reflects a comparison of the subject and predicate device characteristics.

# Nonclinical Testing
The following verification testing was performed and applies to the CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet:
Chlorhexidine coating testing: chlorhexidine content testing, chlorhexidine coating efficacy, chiorhexidine release rate (elution), mechanical hemolysis, solvent residual and chemical degradation.
Catheter performance testing: tensile, catheter body kink, flow rate, static burst pressure, air and liquid leakage, flex cycling, catheter whip, catheter tip compression stiffness, luer hub testing, collapse resistance and central venous pressure monitoring.
Combined device performance testing: stylet tensile, simulated use insertion/removal, force to remove stylet from catheter, and post-insertion/removal catheter air and liquid leakage and stylet electrical testing.
# Conclusions
The predicate and the subject devices have the same indications for use, intended use, materials, chlorhexidine formulation, concentration (content per surface area), method of application and mechanism of release and are manufactured using the same processes, conditions and aids. The results of the risk assessment and resultant testing performed have demonstrated that the proposed design and specification changes do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and therefore the subject device is considered substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices.
