Intended Use
Reprocessed Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheters are intended for intravascular or intracardiac ultrasound imaging in order to provide visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart. The device is intended for use in the right heart only. Reprocessed Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheters are indicated for visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart, as well as measurement of blood flow. The Reprocessed Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter is intended for use in the right side of the heart only.
Device Description
Diagnostic ultrasound catheters are specially designed ultrasonic catheters that provide two-dimensional imaging using an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound transducer is at the distal tip of the catheter and can be positioned for ultrasound imaging by a steering mechanism that rotates the catheter tip and variable deflection. Diagnostic ultrasound catheters incorporate a handpiece, a flexible shaft and a distal tip section containing an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound catheter is 10 French with 90 cm insertion length.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a reprocessed ultrasound catheter and its intended use for imaging. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image processing techniques that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on reprocessing validation and basic functional tests.

No
The device is intended for diagnostic imaging and visualization of anatomy and blood flow, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is explicitly named "Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheters" and its intended use is to "provide visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart" as well as "measurement of blood flow," all of which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, handpiece, shaft, and transducer, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, 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 Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter" used for "intravascular or intracardiac ultrasound imaging." It provides "visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart."
  • Method of Operation: The device uses ultrasound technology to create images inside the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Barton:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 16, 2005.

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.
