Intended Use
The Marathon™ Flow Directed Micro Catheter is intended to access peripheral and neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents such as embolization materials and of diagnostic materials such as contrast media.
Device Description
The Marathon™ Micro Catheters are single-lumen, endhole catheters designed for the subselective infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents or contrast media in tortuous, distal vessels. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft and a highly flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a radiopaque marker at the distal end to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surfaces of the catheter are coated to increase lubricity. The stylet accompanying the catheter is used to increase the rigidity of the distal section during introduction into the guiding catheter.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical characteristics and function of a micro catheter for infusion, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is a microcatheter used for delivery of therapeutic agents and diagnostic materials, but it is not itself a therapeutic agent or device.

No

The device is described as being for "the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents" and "diagnostic materials such as contrast media," and "subselective infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents or contrast media." This indicates its primary function is for delivery, not for diagnosing a condition itself. The "diagnostic materials" are things like contrast media, which are used in conjunction with imaging modalities (like fluoroscopy) to help in diagnosis, but the catheter itself isn't performing the diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a lumen, shaft, luer adapter, radiopaque marker, and coating, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Marathon™ Flow Directed Micro Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Marathon™ Catheter's Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for accessing peripheral and neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of therapeutic and diagnostic materials within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into the body for delivery of substances.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical site is within the body (peripheral and neuro vasculature).

The Marathon™ Flow Directed Micro Catheter is an invasive medical device used for delivering substances directly into the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.

DEVICE
DESCRIPTIONThe Marathon™ Micro Catheters are single-lumen, endhole catheters designed
for the subselective infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents or contrast
media in tortuous, distal vessels. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft and
a highly flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the
anatomy. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to
facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a radiopaque marker at

SUMMARY OF
SUBSTANTIAL
EQUIVALENCEThe Marathon Flow Directed Micro Catheter has
(1) substantially equivalent device and embolic material compatibility to predicate
devices (UltraFlow and Echelon Micro Catheters) , including DMSO and Onyx®
compatibility,
(2) substantially equivalent flow directability and accessibility to the predicate
UltraFlow HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheter device,
(3) substantially equivalent materials and construction to the predicate devices
(distal shaft = Echelon, proximal shaft = UltraFlow), and
(4) an identical intended use to the predicate device (Echelon).
