No
The description focuses on the physical components and mechanical function of the device (sheath, valve, dilator) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML. The performance studies described are device integrity tests, not performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models.

No
The device provides a conduit for the insertion of other endovascular devices and helps maintain hemostasis; it does not directly treat a condition or restore function.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an introducer sheath intended to provide a conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices and maintain hemostasis. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (sheath, valve system, hemostasis caps, dilator) and describes a physical function (providing a conduit for insertion). This 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 is to be inserted into the peripheral vasculature to provide a conduit for endovascular devices. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for a procedural purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, valve, dilator) used for accessing blood vessels and maintaining hemostasis during a procedure.
  • 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a tool for a medical procedure.

Dear Mr. Hansen:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646.
