Intended Use
The PowerPICC catheter is indicated for short or long term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and power injection of contrast media. For blood sampling, infusion or therapy, use a 4 French or larger catheter. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5cc/sec. The maximum pressure of power injectors used with the PowerPICC catheter may not exceed 300 psi.
Device Description
The PowerPICC Catheters are open-ended radiopaque polyurethane catheters. Catheter size is 5 Fr SL with 50 cm usable length. The catheter has a reverse taper design. Catheter shaft tubing is marked with depth indicators, with "0" indicated to serve as a reference for the catheter insertion point. Catheters are provided sterile in basic radiology PICC configurations. Purple colorants were added to the catheter materials to provide the catheter with an appearance that allows the end user to differentiate the PowerPICC from other PICC catheters. The catheter extension leg, junction and clamp ID tag were printed with markings to identify the catheter as Power PICC and to include information to facilitate proper use of the device.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical catheter and its intended use for intravenous therapy and power injection. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes.
Explanation: The device is indicated for "intravenous therapy," which implies a therapeutic purpose.

No
The PowerPICC catheter is indicated for intravenous therapy and power injection of contrast media, and for blood sampling. These are therapeutic and access functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyurethane with specific dimensions and features, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, 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 provided information clearly describes a catheter designed for accessing the central venous system for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and blood sampling. This is a device used within the body for direct medical procedures, not for testing samples outside the body.

The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the catheter and its function in delivering substances or withdrawing blood directly from the patient's circulatory system. This is the hallmark of an in vivo (within the living organism) medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 880.5970 Percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.(b)

Dear Ms. Rivkowich:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 12, 2004 regarding the trade name and the regulation name.

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 (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 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.

7.7 Technological Characteristics Summary

New device is compared to Marketed Device

Yes.

Does the new device have the same indication statement?

The indications for use were expanded to include power injection of contrast media and to provide more detail for blood therapy.

Do the differences alter the intended therapeutic/diagnostic/etc. effect (i.e. deciding may consider impact on safety and effectiveness)?

No, the differences do not alter the intended use of the device.

Does the new device have the same technological characteristics, e.g. design, material, etc."

Not in all regards. The PowerPICC has some minor differences from the predicate Poly Per-O-Cath® PICC. However, the basic fundamental scientific technology of the catheter has not changed.

Could the new characteristics affect safety or effectiveness?

Yes. The new characteristics could affect safety or effectiveness of the device.

Do the new characteristics raise new types of safety and effectiveness questions?

No. There are no new types of safety and effectiveness questions.

Do accepted scientific methods exist for assessing effects of the new characteristics?

Yes. The FDA's Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Short-Term and Long-Term Intravascular Catheters, dated 3/16/95, and relevant ISO 10555 Standards were used to determine the appropriate methods for evaluating the modified device's performance.

Biocompatibility requirements of ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing, and the FDA-Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile for externally communicating, blood-contacting, long-term devices, will be met.
