The 510(k) summary describes a physical guiding catheter and its functional performance, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The Medtronic® Z3 Guiding Catheter is designed to introduce other therapeutic devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No.
The device is described as a guiding catheter designed to provide a pathway for therapeutic devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like an inner liner, stainless steel braid, and a soft distal tip, 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 clearly states that the device is designed to "provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced" within the coronary or peripheral vascular system. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic procedure, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely mechanical and procedural, facilitating the delivery of other therapeutic devices.

    1. Description
      The Medtronic® Z3 Guide Catheter is constructed with an inner liner, stainless steel braid, segmented outer shaft jacket, sleeve, marker band and a soft distal tip. The inner lumen of - the Z3 Guide Catheter has a thin lubricious coating. The Z3 Guiding Catheter (6F) has an inner lumen diameter comparable to the predicate devices.
    1. Intended Use
      The Medtronic® Z3 Guide Catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced. The guiding catheter is intended for used in the coronary or peripheral vascular system.
  • Technological Characteristics 4.
    The 6F Z3 Guide Catheters are manufactured similar to the legally marketed predicate 6F ZumaTM and 6F Genius™ Guide Catheters.

The manufacturing processes and design are substantially equivalent to the 6F Genius (K010579) with the exception of some component materials that are the same as materials used in the 6F Zuma Guide Catheter (K981198). The packaging materials are identical to the predicate devices.

  • Biocompatibility tests performed per ISO10993 were chosen based on Guide Catheters న. categorized as external-communicating devices, circulating blood, limited exposure (≤24 hours). The following test results reports have been received and the results demonstrate
