No
The summary describes a physical catheter for fluid administration, blood sampling, and monitoring, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data analysis beyond basic physiological measurements.

No
The device is primarily used for monitoring, sampling, and administration of solutions, which are diagnostic and supportive functions rather than direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The device is indicated for "temperature monitoring" and "central venous pressure monitoring," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a central venous catheter, which is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Edwards Lifesciences Vantex Central Venous Catheters with Thermistor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for administering solutions, blood sampling, temperature monitoring, and central venous pressure monitoring. These are all procedures performed directly on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the in vivo use by stating it's used to access the central vein, infuse solutions, take blood samples, measure temperature, and monitor pressure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. The provided information does not mention any such use or analysis of specimens.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for direct patient care, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 880.5200 Intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)

Description: | The VCVC-T are used to access the central vein, infuse

temperature, and monitor central venous pressures. |
| Indications for
Use: | The VCVC-T are indicated for use in patients requiring
administration of solutions, blood sampling, temperature
monitoring, and central venous pressure monitoring. |
| Comparative
Analysis: | The VCVC-T add a new intended use (temperature
monitoring) compared to the Vantex Central Venous
Catheters. It accomplishes this new use by a different
lumen configuration (3 infusion lumens, 1 thermistor
lumen, and 1 isolation lumen), the addition of a
thermistor, and a larger diameter than the Vantex Central
Venous Catheters. The VCVC-T also has a new material,
a potting material used to secure the thermistor at its distal
end. |

The VCVC-T have successfully undergone functional and Functional/Safety biocompatibility testing. Testing:

The VCVC-T are substantially equivalent to the predicate Conclusion: devices.

Dear Mr. Smith:

We have reviewed your Scction 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 markcted 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 cither 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.
