Intended Use
The device is an Angiographic accessory intended for use as self-sealing Hemostatic luer activated valve for angiography and other high-pressure applications.
Device Description
The H-Flow Valve developed by Elcam Medical ACAL can be connected, by a standard male luer-lock, to any standard Angiographic catheter. The device has a septum that prevents blood loss when nothing is connected to the female port of the device. Common guide-wires (in diameter of 0.014" to 0.038") can be introduced via the device (through the slit septum) without the need to open the valve and without bleeding due to the intra-catheter human arterial pressure. When connecting a standard male luer to the device's female port (for injection of contrast media or flushing with saline), the septum opens (with the aid of the actuator) to allow fluid flow. An accessory called 'Stylet' is added to the device and has two purposes: a) to make sure the slit is open prior to initial use. b) To aid with insertion of small and angled guide wires.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a valve and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an accessory for angiography, intended to prevent blood loss and facilitate fluid/guidewire introduction during procedures. It does not exert a therapeutic effect on the patient.

No

The device is an accessory for angiographic procedures, specifically a valve to prevent blood loss and facilitate the introduction of guide wires and fluid. Its description focuses on mechanical function and fluid dynamics, not on gathering information about a patient's health condition or making a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, mechanical valve with a septum, luer-lock connections, and an accessory called a 'Stylet'. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "Angiographic accessory intended for use as self-sealing Hemostatic luer activated valve for angiography and other high-pressure applications." This describes a device used during a medical procedure (angiography) to manage blood flow and introduce other instruments or fluids.
  • Device Description: The description details its mechanical function in preventing blood loss and allowing the introduction of guide wires and fluids into the body via a catheter.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. It doesn't analyze blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids in a laboratory setting.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure, not an IVD.

6. Substantial Equivalence -

The H-Flow Valve has the same intended use as the Floswitch® HP, cleared under 510(k) no. K913871 and has equivalent performance characteristics. Both products are valves activated; the H-Flow Valve is activated by connection to the male luer while the Floswitch® HP is activated by an on/off switch.

All other technological characteristics are similar and the functional performance tests performed on both devices show equivalent performance capabilities.

The evaluation of the H-Flow Valve does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectivity and may therefore be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

7. Performance Testing -

Performance tests related to functionality and biocompatibility of both new and predicate device were performed. Tests results showed that the product met all established acceptance criteria and therefore has equivalent performances capabilities and properties.

8. Conclusion -

The evaluation of the H-Flow Valve does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectivity and may therefore be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
