No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance of a chronic hemodialysis catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is a chronic hemodialysis catheter, which is used to provide a medical treatment (hemodialysis) for patients with kidney failure, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a catheter designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of silicone with lumens, tips, and a cuff, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood or tissue, to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Pourchez RetrO™ catheter is a device designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis. It is a physical catheter inserted into a vein (jugular or subclavian) to facilitate these procedures.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device itself does not perform any diagnostic tests on samples. Its function is to provide access to the bloodstream for the purpose of filtering blood (hemodialysis) or separating blood components (apheresis).

Therefore, the Pourchez RetrO™ Silicone Twin Lumen Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Separated Tips is a medical device, specifically a catheter, used for therapeutic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
