Intended Use
The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material are indicated for use in patients requiring access of the venous system and to facilitate catheter insertion (e.g. pulmonary artery or infusion catheter).
Device Description
The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material are used to access the venous system and to facilitate catheter insertion. Edwards Lifesciences wishes to package the Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material in a convenience kit. One of the components of the kit is a silk suture. The suture manufacturer provides the suture either gamma sterilized or non-sterile. Edwards wishes to receive the suture non-sterile, with ethylene oxide sterilization as the final sterilization process for the kit, including the suture. The reason for this submission is the change in sterilization process for the suture component of the kit.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a change in the sterilization process for a suture component of a sheath introducer kit. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is a percutaneous sheath introducer and suture, used to access the venous system and facilitate catheter insertion, which are procedural tools rather than devices that directly treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for accessing the venous system and facilitating catheter insertion, which are procedural functions, not diagnostic ones. It does not mention any function related to identifying medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material) and a component (silk suture). The submission is related to a change in the sterilization process for a physical component of a kit containing these physical devices. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to access the venous system and facilitate catheter insertion. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for a medical procedure, not for examining specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The device is a sheath introducer and a suture, both used for physical access and manipulation within the body.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body for diagnostic purposes.

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 does not fit that description.
