The PeriVac Kit is intended for use in pericardial aspiration and drainage in the presence of pericardial effusion or tamponade.
Device Story
PeriVac Kit is a pre-assembled, single-use convenience kit containing 21 components for emergency pericardial aspiration and drainage. Components include needles, guidewire, dilator, and catheter for site preparation, anesthesia, puncture, and fluid collection. Used in clinical settings (Special Procedures Laboratory, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, or bedside) by trained physicians. Procedure involves entering the pericardium via progressively larger needles, guidewire, dilator, and catheter; fluid is drained into a graduated bag. Catheter is withdrawn and entry site closed upon completion. Kit facilitates rapid initiation of drainage to relieve tamponade. Output is the physical removal of pericardial fluid. Benefits include convenience, reduced preparation time, and standardized equipment for emergency cardiac procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Non-clinical tests conducted showed the device met its design-input criteria and was safe and effective for its intended use. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Convenience kit containing 21 components for pericardial access. Single-use, sterile (ETO), non-pyrogenic. Includes needles, guidewire, dilator, and catheter. No power source. Packaging consists of thermoform tray, CSR wrap, and header pouch. 2-year expiration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring pericardial aspiration and drainage due to pericardial effusion or tamponade.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

### Dear Dr. Allen:
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 (the Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of 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 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/tray. 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.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Page 2 - Dr. Ronald Allen
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
In addition, we have determined that your device kit contains 5 ml of 1% HCL Lidocaine which are subject to regulation as a drug.
Our substantially equivalent determination does not apply to the drug components of your device. We recommend you first contact the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research before marketing your device with the drug components. For information on applicable Agency requirements for marketing this drug, we suggest you contact:
> Director, Division of Drug Labeling Compliance (HFD-310) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Food and Drug Administration 5600 Fishers Lane Rockville, Maryland 20857 (301) 594-0101
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification'(21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers.
