The device consists of a silicone elastomer balloon delivered via a 1.5 FR or 2.0 FR intravascular catheter. The physician inflates the balloon with a contrast agent at the target site and detaches it from the catheter to create a physical barrier, achieving vascular occlusion. The device is used in a clinical setting by neurosurgeons. It provides a therapeutic alternative for patients where other surgical or medical treatments are deemed unsuitable. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Functional testing included cycle, rupture, pressure-volume, detachment force, inflation-deflation cycle rate, and catheter insertion valve testing. Biocompatibility testing was also performed. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Silicone elastomer. Delivery: 1.5 FR or 2.0 FR intravascular catheter. Deployment: Controlled detachment from catheter. Function: Physical vascular occlusion via balloon inflation with contrast agent. ## Regulatory Identification A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e). ## Predicate Devices - Target Therapeutics Detachable Platinum Coil (GDC) ([K960705](/device/K960705.md)) - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Radiopaque Spherical Emboli (RSE) ([K871047](/device/K871047.md)) - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Contour Emboli (CE) ([K944354](/device/K944354.md)) - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Occlusion Balloon Catheter ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Functional bench testing included cycle testing, rupture testing, pressure volume testing, detachment force testing, inflation-deflation cycle rate testing and catheter insertion valve testing. The results of these tests demonstrated the DSB to be safe for its intended use. 4-1 {1} 4-2 # Predicate Devices - Target Therapeutics Detachable Platinum Coil (GDC) - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Radiopaque Spherical Emboli - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Contour Emboli - Target Therapeutics (ITC) Occlusion Balloon Catheter Intended use, materials, manufacturing, design parameters, method of delivery and method of deployment of the DSB are equivalent, if not identical, to the predicate devices, rendering the DSB substantially equivalent.

Baxter Manager, Regulatory Affairs Target Therapeutics Incorporated 47201 Lakeview Boulevard Fremont, California 94538-6530 Re: K965071 Trade Name: Detachable Silicone Balloon (DSB) Regulatory Class: III Product Code: HBZ Dated: January 20, 1998 Received: January 21, 1998 Dear Ms. Baxter: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {4} Page 2 - Ms. Baxter This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 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. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
