# Dear Lekshmi Pillai:
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 (the 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 available 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

#### Biocompatibility:
The fluorosafe marker (subject to this submission) added onto the proximal end of the delivery pusher is considered external communicating device having indirect blood contact via the fluid path, as it is only in contact with the delivery catheter and does not have direct exposure to circulating blood. The distal end of the delivery pusher is categorized as external communicating device with limited exposure duration (د 24 hrs.) with circulating blood. The embolization coil is considered an implant with long-term (> 30 days) direct contact with circulating blood. There are no material or contact duration changes to the components of the device that directly contact circulating blood in the current submission. Therefore, prior hemocompatibility (complement activation, direct hemolysis, and thrombogenicity) tests demonstrate the biocompatibility of the unmodified regions and components of the subject device that contact blood directly.
To assess the addition of fluorosafe markers on the proximal end of the delivery pusher, the following biocompatibility tests were performed on the final, finished delivery pusher subassemblies incorporating the fluorosafe marker.

## Performance Data – Animal and Clinical:
The determination of substantial equivalence is based upon non-clinical bench testing as there is no change to the indications for use statement, fundamental scientific technology, principles of operation or materials of construction except for the addition of fluorosafe markers. No clinical data or animal study were deemed necessary to support the subject device submission.
{9}------------------------------------------------
#### Conclusion:
There is no change to the indications for use statement, fundamental scientific technology or principle of operation of the Axium™ Detachable Coils and Axium™ Prime Detachable Coils in comparison to the predicate devices. The addition of fluorosafe markers on the proximal end of the embolization coil delivery pusher does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and is supported by non-clinical bench testing using well-established acceptable scientific methods. The information provided in this submission supports a determination of substantial equivalence for Axium™ Detachable Coils and Axium™ Prime Detachable Coils to the predicate devices.
