## Indications for Use

The intended use of the subject device is for the administration of local anesthetics into intra-operative sites for post-operative pain management and for regional anesthesia outside of the epidural space. Routes of administration may be intra-operative, subcutaneous or percutaneous.

## Device Story

Conduction catheter; closed-end design with multiple radial holes at distal end for anesthetic distribution; stainless steel coil reinforcement for flexibility and kink resistance; radiopaque. Used in clinical settings for post-operative pain management and regional anesthesia. Physician-operated; delivers anesthetic to surgical wound sites. Benefits patient via targeted local anesthetic delivery.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and performance characteristics compared to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Polyamide co-polymer catheter body; stainless steel coil reinforcement; radiopaque; closed-end with multiple radial fenestrations; 19g and 20g sizes.

## Regulatory Identification

An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

Dear Ms. Forgrave:

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. 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.
