Intended Use
The guiding catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic and diagnostic devices are introduced.
Device Description
The proposed (7F, 8F) VIKING OPTIMATM Guiding Catheter has a standard working length of 100 cm and a standard overall length of 107 cm, but can be produced in lengths from 40 to 160 cm depending upon physician preference and patient size. The proposed (7F, 8F) VIKING OPTIMATM Guiding Catheter has a radiopaque shaft, which varies in stiffness at the distal end to accommodate customer preference and give optimal support in each tip shape. The stiffness of the shaft is determined by the durometer of the segment of polymer along the axial length. The lower the durometer of polymer (or polymer blend of Nylon 12 and/or Pebax), the more flexible the guiding catheter. The Pebax raw material durometers vary from 25D to 72D. The guiding catheter also has a radiopaque soft tip at the most distal section. The proposed (7F, 8F) VIKING OPTIMATM Guiding Catheter is manufactured in varying tip shapes. Each shape is specific for patient anatomy and physician preference, and therefore a wide range of shapes is available with and without sideholes.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a guiding catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a 'guiding catheter' whose purpose is to provide a pathway for other devices (both therapeutic and diagnostic), not to provide therapy itself.

No

The device is a guiding catheter that provides a pathway for the introduction of other devices, some of which may be diagnostic, but the catheter itself is not performing diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guiding catheter made of polymers with varying stiffness and a radiopaque shaft and tip, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as providing a pathway for introducing therapeutic and diagnostic devices into the body. This is an in-vivo application, not an in-vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of a catheter designed for insertion into the body (length, stiffness, radiopacity, tip shapes). This aligns with a medical device used for access within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body to provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the VIKING OPTIMA™ Guiding Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The guiding catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic and diagnostic devices are introduced.

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 (PMA), 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 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 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
