The summary describes a mechanical system for vein removal and flushing, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making.
Yes
The device is intended for the "removal of incompetent greater saphenous veins," which is a treatment for a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for the removal of incompetent greater saphenous veins, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "Tumescent Catheter Inversion System" and its function in removing veins and flushing the tunnel. This strongly implies a physical device (catheter, system for inversion, flushing mechanism) and not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is the "removal of incompetent greater saphenous veins." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a system for removing veins and flushing the resulting tunnel. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

Dear Ms. Provencher:
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.
