Indications for Use
The Groshong® NXT PICC provides short (less than 30 days) or long (greater than 30 days) term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy or blood sampling.
Device Story
Groshong NXT PICC is a peripherally inserted central catheter for vascular access; provides short or long-term access to central venous system for infusion or blood sampling. Features patented 3-position, pressure-sensitive Groshong valve near closed, radiopaque tip; valve remains closed at normal central venous pressure (0-5 mmHg) to prevent blood backflow and air embolism; opens outward under positive pressure for infusion; opens inward under negative pressure for aspiration. Eliminates need for heparin due to closed valve preventing blood entry. Inserted percutaneously via introducer/microintroducer by clinician. Device allows fluid delivery or blood withdrawal; valve function reduces clotting risk and maintenance requirements. Benefits include reliable venous access and reduced maintenance.

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 Matthew Lyman:
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. 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 located 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

| Device Description | Groshong™ NXT Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters are made from<br>specially formulated and processed medical grade materials in a tray with<br>accessories for reliable long- (greater than 30 days) or short- (less than 30<br>days) term vascular access.<br><br>Groshong™ Valve Function<br><br>The Groshong™ catheter incorporates the patented, 3-position, pressure-<br>sensitive Groshong™ valve. The valve is located near the rounded, closed,<br>radiopaque catheter tip and allows fluid infusion and blood aspiration. When<br>not in use, the valve restricts blood backflow and air embolism by remaining<br>closed.<br><br>The Groshong™ valve is designed to remain closed between -7- and 80-mm<br>Hg. Since the normal central venous pressure range in the superior vena<br>cava is 0 to 5 mm Hg, the valve remains closed at normal central venous<br>pressure. Pressure in the superior vena cava must exceed 80 mm Hg to<br>open the valve inward. Also, negative pressure (vacuum) will cause the<br>valve to open inward, allowing blood aspiration.<br><br>Positive pressure into the catheter (gravity, pump, syringe) will open the<br>valve outward, allowing fluid infusion. The need for the anticoagulant effect<br>of heparin is eliminated because the closed valve prevents blood from<br>entering the catheter and clotting. If the catheter is aspirated, pulling the<br>valve inward, it must be flushed with normal saline to clear blood from the<br>lumen and allow the valve to return to its normal, closed position. |
