Intended Use
Boston Scientific/EP Technologies Convoy™ Advanced Delivery Sheaths and accessories are designed to facilitate the intracardial placement of interventional devices. The sheath may be exchanged and placed in interventional position after transseptal puncture has been obtained using a different sheath.
Device Description
The Soft Tip Intracardiac Introducing Sheath Kit consist of: (1) a disposable Introducer Sheath, (2) a Vessel Dilator and (3) Guidewire with Guidewire Introducer. These devices are designed for the introduction of various types of cardiovascular catheters to the heart. The Introducer Sheaths are constructed in a range of curve reach configurations, diameters and lengths to respond to physician preferences. The Introducer Sheath configurations covered under the subject 510(k) Premarket Notification include 8.5 F and 9.5 F diameter, angles ranging from 0° - 180°, radius of curvatures ranging from 0.6" - 1.75", lengths of 60 cm - 101.5 cm, and may be configured with either one, two or three curves in a single or dual plane.

No
The document describes a physical medical device (sheath and accessories) used for delivering other devices. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates the placement of other interventional devices; it does not itself provide therapy.

No
The device is described as an "Introducer Sheath Kit" designed to "facilitate the intracardial placement of interventional devices" and "introduction of various types of cardiovascular catheters to the heart". Its function is to provide access for other devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components (Introducer Sheath, Vessel Dilator, Guidewire) and describes their construction and configurations, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the intracardial placement of interventional devices." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a sheath, dilator, and guidewire designed for introducing catheters into the heart. This is consistent with a surgical or interventional tool, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely procedural and mechanical.

§ 866.5520 Immunoglobulin G (Fab fragment specific) immunological test system.

(a)
Identification. An immunoglobulin G (Fab fragment specific) immunological test system is a device that consists of the reagents used to measure by immunochemical techniques the Fab antigen-binding fragment resulting from breakdown of immunoglobulin G antibodies in urine, serum, and other body fluids. Measurement of Fab fragments of immunoglobulin G aids in the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders, such as multiple myeloma (tumor of bone marrow cells), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (increased immunoglobulin production by the spleen and bone marrow cells), and lymphoma (tumor of the lymphoid tissues).(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 866.9.
