Indications for Use
The PowerPICC Provena Catheters are intended for short- or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and blood sampling.
Device Story
PowerPICC Provena Catheters are sterile, single-use, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) providing vascular access for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring. Devices feature a reverse taper design, radiopaque polyurethane construction, and depth indicators. Available in 3F single lumen and 4F dual lumen configurations. Used in clinical settings for short- or long-term (>30 days) access. Inserted percutaneously using a peel-away sheath introducer. Healthcare providers use the device to deliver fluids or contrast media and monitor pressure; the catheter's purple colorant differentiates it from other power-injectable devices. Benefits include reliable central venous access with power injection capability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Verification and validation testing performed per 21 CFR 820.30, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993/ISO 10555-1), mechanical testing (tensile, burst, leak, collapse, hemolysis, kink, flow rate), and power injection performance.
Technological Characteristics
Radiopaque polyurethane (polycarbonate polyurethane shaft/extension legs) catheter. Reverse taper design. Open-ended distal configuration. Single or dual lumen. Sterilized. Dimensions vary by French size. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for short or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring. Recommended lumen size for pressure monitoring is 20 gauge or larger.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.

Dear Mr. Stone:
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. 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.
