Class 2
Intended Use
The device is an Angiographic accessory intended for use as self-sealing Hemostatic luer activated valve for angiography and other high-pressure applications.
Device Story
H-Flow Valve is an angiographic accessory connecting to standard angiographic catheters via male luer-lock. Device features a slit septum preventing blood loss; allows passage of guide-wires (0.014" to 0.038") without valve opening or bleeding due to arterial pressure. Connection of a standard male luer to the female port mechanically opens the septum via an actuator, enabling fluid flow (contrast media or saline). Includes a 'Stylet' accessory to ensure slit patency and assist insertion of small/angled guide-wires. Used by clinicians in angiographic procedures to maintain hemostasis while allowing device/fluid access.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing evaluated functionality and biocompatibility. Results demonstrated that the device met all established acceptance criteria and exhibited equivalent performance capabilities to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Hemostatic luer-activated valve; features slit septum and internal actuator; includes stylet accessory. Dimensions accommodate 0.014" to 0.038" guide-wires. Connects to standard male luer-lock. Mechanical operation; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a self-sealing hemostatic luer-activated valve during angiography and other high-pressure clinical applications requiring catheter access.
Regulatory Classification
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.

#### 3. Predicate Device -
Floswitch® HP, Boston Scientific Corp. 2710 Orchard Pkwy. , San Jose, CA 95113, cleared under 510(k) no. K913871.
#### Description of the Device -4.
The H-Flow Valve developed by Elcam Medical ACAL can be connected, by a standard male luer-lock, to any standard Angiographic catheter. The device has a septum that prevents blood loss when nothing is connected to the female port of the device. Common guide-wires (in diameter of 0.014" to 0.038") can be introduced via the device (through the slit septum) without the need to open the valve and without bleeding due to the intra-catheter human arterial pressure. When connecting a standard male luer to the device's female port (for injection of contrast media or flushing with saline), the septum opens (with the aid of the actuator) to allow fluid flow.
An accessory called 'Stylet' is added to the device and has two purposes: a) to make sure the slit is open prior to initial use. b) To aid with insertion of small and angled guide wires.
#### ર. Indications for Use -
The device is an Angiographic accessory intended for use as self-sealing Hemostatic luer activated valve for angiography and other high-pressure applications.

Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image contains the words "Elcam Medical" in a light gray font. The text is positioned on the left side of the image. To the right of the text is a dark gray graphic that appears to be a stylized letter or symbol.
#### 6. Substantial Equivalence -
The H-Flow Valve has the same intended use as the Floswitch® HP, cleared under 510(k) no. K913871 and has equivalent performance characteristics. Both products are valves activated; the H-Flow Valve is activated by connection to the male luer while the Floswitch® HP is activated by an on/off switch.
All other technological characteristics are similar and the functional performance tests performed on both devices show equivalent performance capabilities.
The evaluation of the H-Flow Valve does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectivity and may therefore be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
#### 7. Performance Testing -
Performance tests related to functionality and biocompatibility of both new and predicate device were performed. Tests results showed that the product met all established acceptance criteria and therefore has equivalent performances capabilities and properties.
#### 8. Conclusion -
The evaluation of the H-Flow Valve does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectivity and may therefore be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
