Intended Use
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Infusion Catheter is intended to be used for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified pharmacological agents or contrast media into the general vasculature.
Device Story
Single-lumen plastic infusion catheter; designed for placement over 0.018-inch guide wire into general vasculature. Features distal tip valve; valve opens for guide wire passage and closes to occlude tip, forcing infusate through circumferential side holes. Includes two radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic visualization of exit holes. Used by physicians in clinical settings for controlled delivery of pharmacological agents or contrast media. Benefits include precise, localized infusion while maintaining guide wire access.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:1992(E) passed. Physical testing included dimensional inspection, tensile strength, static/dynamic burst pressure, flow rate, and performance under simulated conditions; all results acceptable.
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen plastic catheter; 2.9F diameter. Features distal tip valve and two radiopaque markers. Compatible with max 0.018-inch guide wire. Sterilization method equivalent to predicate. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for controlled selective infusion of pharmacological agents or contrast media into general vasculature. Contraindicated for coronary, neurological, pediatric, or neonatal use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous flush catheter is an attachment to a catheter-transducer system that permits continuous intravascular flushing at a slow infusion rate for the purpose of eliminating clotting, back-leakage, and waveform damping.

## Predicate Devices
Micro Therapeutics Infusion Catheters (K940634, October 14, 1994)
## Device Description
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Valved Infusion Catheter is a single lumen plastic catheter suitable for infusion of physician-specified pharmacological agents or contrast media through its proximal luer adapter to infusion holes circumferentially placed in the distal portion of the catheter. The device is designed to be placed over a guide wire into the general vasculature. The device will be available in various catheter and infusion lengths.
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Valved Infusion Catheter utilizes a plastic valve at the tip which will allow effective transmission of infusate through the side holes by effectively occluding infusion out the catheter. As a guide wire is introduced, the valve opens to permit smooth passage of the guide wire and closes again as the guide wire is removed. The recommended maximum guide wire OD is 0.018 inch.
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Valved Infusion Catheter has two radiopaque markers that define fluoroscopically the location of the exit holes.

The method of construction and materials used for these infusion catheters are substantially equivalent to previous infusion catheter products.
## Intended Use
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Infusion Catheter is intended to be used for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified pharmacological agents or contrast media into the general vasculature.
## Testing
Biocompatibility testing was performed on the 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Valved Infusion Catheter in Tests in accordance with the International Standard for the Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Guidance on Selection of Tests (ISO 10993-1:1992(E)) to establish that the materials and processes used in the manufacture of the device met the qualifications for short term use in the vascular system. Results of the tests showed that the device passed biocompatibility testing and is suitable for its application.
Physical testing of the product included: dimensional inspection, catheter tensile strength tests, static and dynamic burst pressure tests, flow rate test, and performance under simulated conditions. All testing of the product yielded acceptable results.
## Summary of Substantial Equivalence
The 2.9F Cragg-McNamara™ Valved Infusion Catheter is constructed of the same or substantially equivalent materials as the Micro Therapeutics Infusion Catheters and other legally marketed infusion catheters. The sizes and configurations available along with the packaging and sterilization methods are also equivalent.
The clinical indications for use are identical to the predicate devices.
Therefore, due to the similarity of materials to other infusion catheters, the test results and the identical indications for use to other infusion catheters, Micro Therapeutics believes these products do not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.

Dear Ms. Tan:
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 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in

regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the *Federal Register*. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 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 (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for *in vitro* diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648.
