Intended Use
The Hickman® TriFusion™ Triple Lumen Long-Term Central Venous Catheter is indicated for use in attaining short term or long term vascular access for intravenous infusion therapy and blood sampling via the internal jugular vein, external jugular vein, and subclavian vein. All Hickman® TriFusion™ catheters are designed for apheresis, and the administration of I.V. fluids, blood products, drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions, as well as blood withdrawal. The Hickman® TriFusion™ catheter incorporates three large, equal size lumens appropriate for apheresis procedures.
Device Description
The Hickman TriFusion™ Catheters are open-ended triple lumen radiopaque polyurethane catheters. The Hickman TriFusion™ Catheters are 12 Fr triple lumen with up to 27 cm insertion length. The Hickman TriFusion™ Catheters have three equal sized lumens with the distal lumen extending beyond the proximal lumens. The proximal end of the TriFusion™ Catheter consists of three luer connectors, occlusion clamps, and priming volume ID tags. Catheters are provided sterile in two kit configurations, an Intermediate Tray and a Microintroducer (MI) Tray.

The summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
This device is a central venous catheter used for infusion therapy and blood sampling, not for treating or rehabilitating a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a central venous catheter used for infusion therapy and blood sampling, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is to provide vascular access.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with lumens, connectors, and other hardware components. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and performance of the hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "attaining short term or long term vascular access for intravenous infusion therapy and blood sampling via the internal jugular vein, external jugular vein, and subclavian vein." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering substances and withdrawing blood.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into veins.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs typically involve reagents, test strips, analyzers, etc., which are not described here.

This device is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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. Kirchoff:

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 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 either 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.
