Indications for Use
The QuikPass Catheter is intended to be used to access discrete regions of the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature. It may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and is also intended to assist in the delivery of contrast media into the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature.
Device Story
QuikPass Catheter is a single-lumen, over-the-wire percutaneous catheter used by physicians to access coronary and peripheral vasculature. It facilitates guidewire placement/exchange and contrast media delivery. The device features a proximal Luer hub, a braid-and-coil reinforced polymer shaft, and a tapered distal tip with oval side ports. The distal 40cm includes a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during navigation. The device is used in clinical settings (e.g., cath lab) under fluoroscopic guidance, where the physician advances the catheter over a 0.014" guidewire through a ≥ 6 French guide catheter. Radiopaque markers and the distal tip allow visualization under X-ray to confirm placement. By providing a stable pathway for guidewires and enabling contrast injection, the device assists in diagnostic and interventional procedures, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes in vascular interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance was verified per ISO 10555-1:2013, including testing for visual defects, dimensions, guidewire/guide catheter compatibility, pressurization, vacuum, tracking, kink resistance, coating lubricity/durability, torsion, bend, tensile strength, coating integrity, particulate, radiopacity, and corrosion. Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 10993-1:2018 (cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility, irritation, sensitization, pyrogenicity, acute systemic toxicity). Sterilization and packaging validated per ASTM F1980, D4169-16, D4332-14, F1886, F2096, and F88.
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen catheter; Pebax/Pellethane shaft with stainless steel braid and tungsten coil; polycarbonate Luer hub; platinum/iridium radiopaque markers. Hydrophilic hydrogel coating (distal 40cm). Available in 3 Fr and 4 Fr sizes, 135cm/150cm lengths. Compatible with 0.014" guidewires and ≥ 6 Fr guide catheters. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). Standards: ISO 10993-1, ISO 10555-1, ASTM F1980, ASTM D4169, ASTM D4332, ASTM F1886, ASTM F2096, ASTM F88.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults (>21 years) requiring access to coronary and/or peripheral vasculature for guidewire placement/exchange and contrast media delivery.

### Dear Prithul Bom:
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.

# Table 5. Substantial Equivalence Comparison
{6}------------------------------------------------
{7}------------------------------------------------
## 4 Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
## 4.1 Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility testing for the QuikPass Catheter was completed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological evaluation of medical devices (FR #2-258). The QuikPass Catheter was tested for cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility, irritation, sensitization, pyrogenicity, and acute systemic toxicity. The QuikPass Catheter biocompatibility testing met all requirements.
{8}------------------------------------------------
## 4.2 Sterilization, Shelf-Life and Packaging
The QuikPass Catheter is subjected to ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization to meet a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 . Testing was performed to demonstrate that the devices have acceptable levels of EO residuals, bioburden, and endotoxin.
Accelerated aging was performed per ASTM F1980. Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems of Medical Devices (FR #14-497) to validate package sterility and device performance after 6-months of accelerated aging shelf life.
Device packaging was validated in accordance with ASTM D4169-16, Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems (FR #14-499) for simulated distribution testing, with ASTM D4332-14, Standard Practice for Conditioning Containers, Packages, or Packaging Components for Testing (FR #5-99) followed for environmental conditioning. Package integrity was validated per ASTM F1886, Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection (FR #14-501), ASTM F2096, Standard Test Method for Determining Gross Leaks in Packaging by Internal Pressurization (FR #14-359), and ASTM F88, Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials (FR #14-482).
## 4.3 Bench Testing
Performance of the QuikPass Catheter was assessed via design verification testing performed in accordance with ISO 10555-1:2013, Intravascular catheters - Sterile and single-use catheters -Part 1: General requirements (FR #6-408). Aged and non-aged samples were tested for a variety of characteristics, including visual defects, appropriate dimensions, compatibility with guidewires and guide catheters, pressurization, vacuum, tracking, kink resistance, coating lubricity, coating durability, torsion, bend, tensile strength, coating integrity, particulate, radiopacity, and corrosion.
{9}------------------------------------------------
## 5 Conclusions
The QuikPass Catheter is comprised of similar materials and is of similar design to the corresponding components of the predicate device. The subject and predicate devices share similar technical requirements, perform as intended, and present no unacceptable risks to the intended patient population or end user. The non-clinical bench data support the safety of the device and demonstrate that the QuikPass Catheter performs as intended in the specified use conditions. The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
