Intended Use
The Guidant RAPIDO™ Cut- Away™ Guiding Catheter is intended to access the coronary venous system, and may be used as a dualcatheter assembly. The catheter serves as a conduit for the delivery of contrast medium and devices, including implantable coronary venous leads, introduced into the coronary venous system.
Device Description
The RAPIDO Cut-Away Guiding Catheter is similar to the approved RAPIDO Guiding Catheter. The Cut-Away Catheter is comprised of a flexible shaft, lucr (hub) and a soft tip. The catheter shaft is comprised of an inner liner of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), an outer layer of radiopaque polyether block amide (PEBAX), with a reinforcing layer of 304V stainless steel braid sandwiched between the two. A blue PEBAX luer (sometimes referred to as a "hub") is attached to the proximal end of the shaft using a cyanoacrylate adhesive. A silicone coating is applied to the exterior of the shaft to improve device lubricity. The distal end of the catheter is formed into a variety of shapes as needed to access differing areas of the anatomy.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its materials and construction. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device acts as a conduit for delivery of contrast medium and other devices, but does not itself provide a therapeutic effect.

No

The device is described as a "Guiding Catheter" intended to access the coronary venous system and serve as a conduit for delivering contrast medium and devices. This function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a flexible shaft, luer, soft tip, PTFE liner, PEBAX layers, stainless steel braid, and silicone coating, indicating it is a hardware 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 that the device is used to access the coronary venous system and serves as a conduit for delivering contrast medium and devices into the body. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside of the body on samples taken from the body. This device is used inside the body for interventional procedures.

Dear Mr. Hilali:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
