The Gatekeeper Balloon Catheter is indicated for temporary occlusion of vessels in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Story
The Gatekeeper Balloon Catheter is an over-the-wire (OTW) triple-lumen catheter featuring two compliant polyurethane balloons (proximal 15mm, distal 10mm) spaced 2 cm apart. It is used by clinicians in the peripheral vasculature to achieve temporary vessel occlusion. The device is operated via extension lines with stopcocks for balloon inflation/deflation; a third lumen accommodates a 0.014" guidewire. Radiopaque marker bands facilitate precise placement under imaging. The catheter is compatible with 6Fr introducer sheaths. By occluding vessels, the device assists in controlling blood flow or isolating vascular segments, potentially benefiting patients during peripheral vascular procedures. It is a single-use, sterile device.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified against ISO 10555-1 and ISO 10555-4 standards. Testing included visual/dimensional inspection, leakage, compatibility (luer, guidewire, sheath), balloon compliance, inflation characteristics, radiopacity, shipping/distribution, vessel occlusion, balloon fatigue, burst/leak volume, fragmentation, tensile strength, shelf life, package integrity, environmental conditioning, kink, torque, and simulated use. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1.
Technological Characteristics
Triple-lumen OTW catheter; polyurethane balloons; 15mm (proximal) and 10mm (distal) diameters; 2cm balloon spacing; radiopaque marker bands; 0.014" guidewire compatibility; 6Fr introducer sheath compatibility. Complies with ISO 10555-1 and ISO 10555-4. Sterile, single-use.
Indications for Use

Dear Mary Vater:
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.

### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Gatekeeper Balloon Catheter is an over the wire (OTW) triple-lumen catheter with 2 compliant proximal and distal polyurethane balloons having a maximum diameter of 15 mm and 10 mm respectively. The 2 balloon lumens are connected to extension lines with stopcocks and are used to inflate and deflate the proximal and distal balloons. The third lumen is a guidewire lumen. The distance between the proximal and distal balloons is 2 cm. Two (2) radiopaque marker bands are located within the balloons at each end (30mm apart at the proximal balloon and 15mm apart at the distal balloon) to facilitate balloon placement prior to inflation. The catheter can accommodate a 0.014" diameter (or smaller) guidewire and is compatible with 6Fr (or larger) introducer sheath. The device is a single use, sterile device.
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Gatekeeper Balloon Catheter is indicated for temporary occlusion of vessels in the peripheral vasculature.
### VI. SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Compared to the predicate devices of the CoAxia FloControl Catheter (K090970), Via Biomedical Stent Graft Balloon Catheter (K091624), and QXMEDICAL Q50 PLUS Stent Graft Balloon Catheter (K120381). the subject Gatekeeper Balloon Catheter has the same intended use and mechanism of action for temporary occlusion of vessels. The indication statements for the predicate devices describe additional functions for expanding vascular prostheses, controlling blood flow, or occlusion of large vessels; but all devices are intended for temporary occlusion of vessels. The subject device has different technological characteristics of catheter design and materials that do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and were evaluated with non-clinical testing.
The subject device is designed to fulfill the requirements of the following recognized standards:
- 6-301 ISO 10555-1 Second edition 2013-06-15 Intravascular catheters Sterile and single-use intravascular catheters - Part 1: General requirements
