The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its intended use, materials, and performance testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are therapeutic procedures.
No
Explanation: The device is a catheter used for hemodialysis and apheresis, providing vascular access. Its function is to facilitate therapy, not to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter made of polyurethane, which is a hardware component.
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, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that the TruFlow™ Long-term Dual-lumen Hemodialysis Catheters are used for vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis. This involves inserting the catheter directly into a vein to facilitate the removal and return of blood during these procedures.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples taken from the body. Its function is to provide a physical pathway for blood flow.
Therefore, the TruFlow™ Long-term Dual-lumen Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
