Intended Use

Intravascular diagnostic catheters are used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels.

Device Story

The AVE 4F SiteSeer (II) is an intravascular diagnostic catheter used in the cardiovascular system. It functions by being inserted into the heart and vessels to record intracardiac pressures, sample blood, and deliver substances such as radiopaque contrast media. The device is available in various curve styles to facilitate navigation. It is intended for use by clinicians in a hospital or clinical setting. The catheter provides a pathway for diagnostic procedures, allowing healthcare providers to obtain physiological data and administer contrast agents to visualize the vascular system, thereby aiding in cardiovascular diagnosis and decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included tensile strength, bending stiffness, straight-line torque, high-pressure static leak, flow rate, and natural frequency testing. Biocompatibility testing conducted in compliance with ISO 10993 included acute intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, hemolysis, material-mediated pyrogen, and sensitization tests. Shelf-life testing confirmed performance specifications are met through the expiration date.

Technological Characteristics

Intravascular diagnostic catheter; 4F diameter; available in various curve styles. Materials, packaging, and sterilization methods are consistent with predicate devices. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in the cardiovascular system to record intracardiac pressures, sample blood, and introduce substances (including radiopaque contrast media) into the heart and vessels. No contraindications specified.

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.

indicated to deliver media or substances into the vascular system. The actual indications are listed below:

The AVE 4F SiteSeer II is indicated for use in the cardiovascular system. Their primary function is to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels.

Cordis Infiniti indications are The designed to deliver radiopaque contrast media to selected sites in the vascular system. Similar to the AVE and Cordis catheters, the AVE SiteSeer II catheter will be available in various curve styles.

- AVEM conducted tensile strength, bending G. Performance Date stiffness, straight-line torque, high-pressure static leak, flow rate and natural frequency testing. The test results demonstrate that the SiteSeer II catheter is substantially 4F equivalent to the AVE SiteSeer™ catheter, the AVE Envision™ Catheter, or the Cordis Vista™ Bright tip Catheter.
also conducted the following AVEM biocompatibility tests in compliance with ISO 10993: acute intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, hemolysis. material-mediated pyrogen and sensitization test. All tests demonstrated that the 4F SiteSeer II catheter is biocompatible.

Shelf-life testing on the AVE 4F SiteSeer II catheter demonstrates that the device meets all performance specifications within its labeled life expiration date.

Based on the results of the above testing. AVEM concludes that the AVE 4F SiteSeer catheter II is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Boucher:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the Act (Act). general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
