## Indications for Use

The Vortex® MP Peripheral Access System is indicated for peripheral placement in the mid-arm, above the antecubital space and well below the subaxillary area, when patient therapy requires repeated venous access for injection or infusion therapy and/or venous blood sampling.

## Device Story

Vortex® MP Peripheral Access System is a vascular access port system for peripheral venous access. Device consists of a titanium port with a self-sealing silicone septum, a catheter (polyurethane or silicone), a locking mechanism, and introduction components. Used in clinical settings for patients requiring repeated venous access for infusion or blood sampling. The port is implanted in the mid-arm; healthcare providers access the system using a non-coring needle through the septum. The system facilitates repeated access while maintaining integrity after multiple punctures. Benefits include reliable venous access for therapy delivery and blood collection.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; device evaluated through design verification testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium port housing; self-sealing silicone septum; polyurethane or silicone catheter. Peripheral vascular access port system. Sterile packaging. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.

Dear Mr. Moeller:

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. 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.
