Intended Use
The Pronto™ Extraction Catheter is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the arterial system.
Device Description
The Pronto extraction catheter is a dual lumen catheter with related accessories. The extraction lumen allows for the aspiration and removal of emboli/thrombi using the included syringe, extension line and stopcock. The catheter has a rounded distal tip with a protected, sloped opening of the extraction lumen to facilitate advancement of the catheter into the blood vessel and maximize extraction of emboli/thrombi through the extraction lumen. Incorporated within the catheter distal tip is a non-blood contacting radiopaque marker for fluoroscopic visualization. The catheter is a monorail design with a distal flexible region and a proximal stiff region. The distal portion of the catheter is coated with Tween (Polysorbate 80); this coating is to lubricate the catheter for ease of use. The catheter has an approximate outer diameter of 0.065 inches, allowing delivery through standard 6Ft. guide catheters. The smaller wire lumen of the catheter is able to accommodate guide wires that are ≤ 0.014" in diameter. The catheter will be available in working lengths of 40 to 145 cm, in increments of 15 cm. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of the catheter to the included extension line, stopcock, and syringe. A 74 micron filter basket is included for assistance in filtering the blood removed during the procedure for laboratory analysis of thrombus.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the catheter and its accessories for manual extraction. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used to remove emboli and thrombi, which are medical conditions, from vessels in the arterial system, thus treating a disease.

No
The device is described as an "extraction catheter" for "removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose. While it can filter blood "for laboratory analysis of thrombus," its primary function is not to diagnose.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with lumens, accessories (syringe, extension line, stopcock, filter basket), and a radiopaque marker. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, the Pronto™ Extraction Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the removal of emboli and thrombi from vessels in the arterial system. This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical extraction of material from within blood vessels.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not perform any tests on samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a treatment, or screen for a disease. While a filter basket is included for laboratory analysis of the removed thrombus, the catheter itself is not performing the diagnostic test. The analysis of the thrombus would be a separate IVD process.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Pronto™ Extraction Catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic intervention.
