Intended Use
THE MEDCOMP SC4 HEMODIALYSIS CATHETER IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ATTAINING LONG-TERM VASCULAR ACCESS FOR HEMODIALYSIS AND APHERESIS. IT MAY BE INSERTED PERCUTANEOUSLY AND IS PRIMARILY PLACED IN THE INTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN. ALTERNATE INSERTION SITES INCLUDE THE SUBCLAVIAN VEIN. CATHETERS GREATER THAN 40CM ARE INTENDED FOR FEMORAL VEIN INSERTION. THE SC4 EXTENSION SET IS INTENDED TO REPAIR THE SC4 HEMODIALYSIS CATHETER.
Device Description
The Medcomp SC4 is a 16F polyurethane, double lumen catheter used to remove and return blood through two-secregated lumen passages. Both lumens are "D" shaped, tapered at the distal tip, each with a series of side holes. The distal venous lumen extends beyond the arterial lumen to reduce recirculation. The fixed polyester cuff allows for tissue ingrowth for long term placement. A removable suture wing hub is provided for securing the catheter after initial placement. The arterial and venous lumens are designed to be split, or peeled apart, prior to insertion to provide two free-floating lumens within the vessel. After the catheter has been positioned the catheter lumens can be trimmed and an extension set is assembled on the proximal end of the catheter. Red and blue luer connectors and clamps identify the arterial and venous extensions set. Priming volume information is printed on the catheter lumen.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and in-vitro performance of a hemodialysis catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are medical treatments for kidney failure and blood disorders, respectively. These are therapeutic procedures.

No

This device is a hemodialysis catheter used for vascular access, specifically for removing and returning blood for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyurethane with lumens, a cuff, and a suture wing hub. It is a hardware medical 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 the device is for "attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis." This is a therapeutic and procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed to remove and return blood. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing blood or other bodily fluids for diagnostic purposes. The device facilitates the process of hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatments.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (within the body) to access the vascular system for therapeutic procedures.
