Device Story
Single-lumen percutaneous catheter; navigated over steerable guidewire to treatment site in neuro, peripheral, or coronary vasculature. Physician-operated under fluoroscopic guidance using radiopaque marker bands. Proximal luer adapter facilitates accessory attachment. Delivers interventional devices (stents, coils, flow diverters) or diagnostic agents (contrast media) through lumen. Hydrophilic coating assists navigation. Benefits patient by enabling minimally invasive delivery of therapeutic devices to target vasculature.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical or animal data provided. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-1) confirmed non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritant, non-pyrogenic, and hemocompatible. Bench performance testing included visual/dimensional inspection, ISO 80369-7 hub testing, WEB retraction, kink resistance, tensile strength, tip buckling, shape retention, leakage/burst pressure, coating friction/particulate, and tracking force.
Indicated for introduction of interventional devices (e.g., WEB device, stents, flow diverters, coils) and infusion of diagnostic agents (e.g., contrast media) into neuro, peripheral, and coronary vasculature.

Dear Sapna Singh:
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 (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.
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
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

#### V. DEVICE DESCRIPTON
The VIA® Microcatheter is a single lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire into the vasculature. The physician inserts the catheter into the vein or artery through the skin (percutaneous) using a sheath or guidewire. The device can then be navigated to the treatment site. Navigation is aided by the coated surface of the catheter which assists with manipulation while in the vasculature. Throughout the procedure the physician can obtain the position of the catheter by the radiopaque marker bands using fluoroscopic techniques (VIA17 Microcatheter has 2 radiopaque marker bands. VIA 21, 27 and 33 Microcatheters have one radiopaque tip marker band). Diagnostic and interventional devices can be delivered through the
{4}------------------------------------------------
lumen of the catheter to the treatment site. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate attachment of accessories.

| Visual and Dimensional<br>Inspection | This method measures inner diameter, outer diameter,<br>catheter length, coated length, tip length, distance<br>between marker bands (VIA17 only), preshaped tip<br>angle (VIA17 Preshaped only), printing on strain relief,<br>accessories, and unbraided length. | Pass |
| Hub ISO 80369-7 | ISO80369-7:2016 & -20:2015 | Pass |
| WEB Retraction | The method measures the distance that the VIA<br>catheter pulls back during interventional device<br>recapture | Pass |
| Kink Resistance | The method measures the diameter at which the VIA<br>shaft sections and junctions will kink | Pass |
| Tensile | The method tests the tensile strength of the<br>microcatheter shaft sections (each joint/transition tested<br>individually). This method aligns with the method<br>described in ISO 10555-1:2014. | Pass |
| Tip Buckling | The method measures the catheter tip buckling force by<br>pushing the catheter tip into a load cell until it buckles. | Pass |
| Steam Shaping / Shape<br>Retention | The method measures the ability of the VIA to be<br>steam shaped using a shaping mandrel and the ability<br>of the VIA to hold the shape during use. | Pass |
| Catheter Leakage and<br>Static Burst | The method measures the leakage and static burst<br>pressure of the VIA. This method aligns with the<br>method described in ISO 10555-1:2014. | Pass |
{11}------------------------------------------------
| Coating Friction &<br>Durability | The method measures the catheter coating<br>friction/lubricity over multiple friction test cycles using<br>an automated friction tester. After cycling, catheter is<br>dyed to verify coating adherence. | Pass |
|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Coating Particulate | The method measures the particulate generated during<br>simulated navigation and adjunct device delivery per<br>USP <788>. | Pass |
| Coating Integrity | Coating integrity uses dye to test that coating remains<br>adhered to catheter after simulated use through a<br>tortuous model. | For<br>characterization<br>only. |
| Catheter Torque<br>Strength | The method measures how many complete rotations the<br>catheter can withstand before breaking. | For<br>characterization<br>only. |
| Tracking Force | The method tests the force required to pass<br>interventional devices through the VIA catheter. | Pass |
| Flow Rate | The method measures the flow rate through the VIA by<br>pushing fluid through the catheter at a constant rate<br>while pressure is being monitored. | For<br>characterization<br>only. |
| Dead Space | The non-hydrated VIA is attached to a syringe pump<br>and slowly filled with controlled amounts of distilled<br>water. Once water is observed to be exiting the raised<br>tip of the catheter, the volume of liquid dispensed is<br>recorded. | For<br>characterization<br>only |
# Animal Study
No animal study was conducted.
### CONCLUSION IX.
The VIA® Microcatheter is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate regarding performance, intended use, design, materials, principle of operation and overall technological characteristics. The nonclinical data supports the substantial equivalence of the subject device and the verification and validation testing demonstrate that the subject device should perform as intended when used as instructed in the instructions for use.
