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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, EDA max publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Dr. Frank Freedman, Ph.D. 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 not the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

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.

Catheter (K063371) and FETCH Aspiration Catheter (K062172) | | ## Device Description 5. 510(k) Summary The FETCH Aspiration Catheter is a rapid exchange, low-profile tip, dual lumen catheter that uses a 0.014" (0.36 mm) guide wire to track to the target site. It is used for aspiration of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi. Its outer diameter 0.052" (1.33 mm) or 4F allows advancement to the target site through a 6F (0.070" I.D.) guiding catheter. A radiopaque marker is located about 2 mm from the distal tip. FETCH is provided with an extension line, 30 cc syringe, one-way stopcock and a 40 micron collection basket. This basket can be used to filter aspirated blood for laboratory analysis of collected thrombus. #### Indications for Use The FETCH Aspiration Catheter is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. ## Comparison to Predicate Devices The FETCH Aspiration Catheter is substantially equivalent to the Pronto Extraction Catheter, Pronto V3 Extraction Catheter, and FETCH Aspiration Catheter. ## Supporting Information Preclinical animal testing supported the substantial equivalency of the FETCH Aspiration Catheter to the predicate device for the indicated use. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-f%E2%80%94cardiovascular-therapeutic-devices/QEZ/K070363](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-f%E2%80%94cardiovascular-therapeutic-devices/QEZ/K070363) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
