Intended Use
The Drakon™ and SeQure® microcatheters are intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels. The Drakon™ and SeQure® microcatheters are also intended for drug infusion in intra-arterial therapy and infusion of embolic materials. The Drakon™ and the SeQure® microcatheters should not be used in cerebral vessels.
Device Story
Drakon™ and SeQure® are single-use, single-lumen microcatheters for peripheral vascular access. Input: manual infusion of contrast media, therapeutic drugs, or embolic materials. Operation: physician-guided navigation through peripheral vasculature using fluoroscopic visualization of radiopaque markers; hydrophilic coating ensures lubricity. Output: delivery of fluids/agents to target peripheral vessel sites. Used in clinical settings (e.g., interventional radiology) by physicians. Benefits: enables targeted intra-arterial therapy and diagnostic imaging in peripheral anatomy. Differences from previous versions include expanded length options (up to 180 cm) and additional tip shapes to accommodate varied patient anatomies.

Dear Osnat Harbater:
We have reviewed vour 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. 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 located 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.

### III. PREDICATE DEVICE
Accurate Medical Therapeutics Ltd. claims substantial equivalence to previous submissions of Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters, cleared under K173430, K202797, K203487.
### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are single use microcatheters primarily comprised of a luer lock hub, a strain relief cover and tube, central shaft, and a distal tip with radiopaque markers for visualization. The two models differ only in the design of the distal tip. The Sequre®'s distal end has side holes and two radiopaque markers while the Drakon™'s distal end has no side holes and one radiopaque marker. These markers allow for the fluoroscopic visualization of the distal tip of the microcatheters.

Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Accurate Medical, a Guerbet company. The logo features a teal circle with a purple arrow pointing upwards and to the right, followed by the word "accurate" in purple lowercase letters and "medical" in gray lowercase letters. Below the word "accuratemedical" is the phrase "a Guerbet company" in a smaller, lighter purple font.
The inner lumen is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which allows for the smooth passage of fluids, embolic agents and devices such as guide wires. The distal section of the shaft in both models is coated in a hydrophilic polymer laver. which ensures high lubricity when wet with saline or blood.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are sterile single lumen devices and are available in varying configurations of length (105 cm, 130 cm, 150 or 155 cm, 180 cm), diameters (1.7 Fr., 1.9 Fr., 2.4 Fr. 2.7 Fr., 2.8Fr. and 3.0 Fr.) and tip shape (straight, SP1, SP2).
# V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters are also intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and infusion of embolic materials.
The Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters should not be used in cerebral vessels.
### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to indications for use, principle of operation, fundamental design principles, performance, sterilization. The primary reason for submitting this special 510(k) is the addition of sizes (length of up to 180 cm) and availability of different tip shapes for select models (including a packaging change).
These differences do not impact product performance or modify the intended use but are mainly designed to enable additional microcatheter model options to the user in terms of meeting patient anatomies. Therefore, these differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
In summary, the proposed changes do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison to predicate device.
# VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Risk assessment pursuant to ISO 14971 was performed to assess the impact of the changes. The following bench tests were performed to evaluate the design elements and performance characteristics of the modified Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The modified Drakon™ and Sequre® microcatheters met the predetermined acceptance criteria:
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009) ●
- Guidewire & Guide Catheter Compatibility; Dimensional and Visual ● Inspection including Tip Shape Dimension
- Bead Compatibility Bench Test
