Intended Use
The Sapphire™ Detachable Coils are intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms that - because of their morphology, their location, or the patient's general medical condition - are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be a) very high risk for management by traditional operative techniques, or b) be inoperable. The Sapphire™ Detachable Coils are also intended for the embolization of other neuro vascular abnormalities, such as, arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae.
Device Description
The Sapphire Detachable Coil (SDC) is manufactured from a platinum alloy attached to a positioning wire. The coil is detached by the Sapphire Detachment System (SDS) power supply, which dissolves a small detachment element between the emboliozation coil and the positioning wire. This occurs after desired placement of the coil in the anatomy. The Sapphire coils are manufactured from platinum/iridium alloy wire that is first wound into the primary coil, and then formed into a secondary (spherical or helical) shape. The Sapphire Detachment Coils are manufactured in different shapes and sizes. These coils are available in spherically shaped configurations, as well as, helically shaped configurations of various diameters and lengths.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (detachable coils and a detachment system) and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as being used for the "endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms" and "other neuro vascular abnormalities," which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating a medical condition.

No

This device, the Sapphire™ Detachable Coil, is described as intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities. This is a therapeutic procedure involving the physical closure of blood vessels, not the diagnosis of a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (platinum alloy coil, positioning wire, detachment system power supply) and performance studies focus on physical characteristics and animal studies, indicating a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neuro vascular abnormalities. This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to treat a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical coil designed to be placed within blood vessels. It is not used to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a therapeutic device used to physically treat a condition within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Sapphire Detachable Coil (SDC) series have been tested and evaluated in performance characteristics including: Coil strength, e.g., the force required to deform the coil shape; the ease of delivery as measured by friction when advancing and retracting the coil through various catheters positioned in a simulated tortuosity, and the detachment time. In addition, reliability after fatigue (10 cycles), coil, detachment zone & coil weld tensile strength, delivery wire flexibility, radiopacity and particulate generation were measured and evaluated. The materials of the Sapphire Detachable Coil series were evaluated with respect to compatibility with Magnetic Resonance Imaging. All performance characteristics met the acceptance criteria. All the above tests were performed and evaluated after 1-year simulated aging and met the acceptance criteria.

The Sapphire Detachable Coil (SDC) series have been tested and evaluated with respect to packaging, sterile integrity and sterility validation. The Sapphire Detachable Coil series has been validated in animal studies addressing a wide range of performance parameters, including: the ability to move coil within a microcatheter, fluoroscopic visibility of coil ability to position coil in aneurysm, coil reposition-ability, ability to pack the aneurysm sac, ease of use of the detachment system, coil detachment time, detachment reliability & coils stability.
The Sapphire Detachment System (SDS) has been tested and evaluated for conductance of current, compliance with its product specifications, detachment reliability, in-vitro and in-vivo, and has met all acceptance criteria. The Sapphire Detachment System has been tested and evaluated for electrical safety, radiated emission, radio disturbance and Electro-Static Discharge immunity. The firmware as part of the Sapphire Detachment System was tested and evaluated with respect to the expression of its modes and states as described in its Design Specifications. All testing demonstrated compliance with the appropriate standard and/or met the acceptance criteria.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).
