The summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its intended use and materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is a chronic hemodialysis catheter, which is used for long-term treatment of kidney failure, thus performing a therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The device is a catheter designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of it being used to identify or determine the presence of a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly identifies it as a physical catheter made of silicone, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this is a catheter designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis. This is a device used within the body to facilitate a medical procedure (filtering blood), not to analyze samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or laboratory testing, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.
Therefore, the 55cm Pourchez RetrO Twin Lumen Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for the implanted blood access device. The special controls for this device are:(i) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. Material names and specific designation numbers must be provided.
(ii) Performance data must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(A) Pressure versus flow rates for both arterial and venous lumens, from the minimum flow rate to the maximum flow rate in 100 milliliter per minute increments, must be established. The fluid and its viscosity used during testing must be stated.
(B) Recirculation rates for both forward and reverse flow configurations must be established, along with the protocol used to perform the assay, which must be provided.
(C) Priming volumes must be established.
(D) Tensile testing of joints and materials must be conducted. The minimum acceptance criteria must be adequate for its intended use.
(E) Air leakage testing and liquid leakage testing must be conducted.
(F) Testing of the repeated clamping of the extensions of the catheter that simulates use over the life of the device must be conducted, and retested for leakage.
(G) Mechanical hemolysis testing must be conducted for new or altered device designs that affect the blood flow pattern.
(H) Chemical tolerance of the device to repeated exposure to commonly used disinfection agents must be established.
(iii) Performance data must demonstrate the sterility of the device.
(iv) Performance data must support the shelf life of the device for continued sterility, package integrity, and functionality over the requested shelf life that must include tensile, repeated clamping, and leakage testing.
(v) Labeling of implanted blood access devices for hemodialysis must include the following:
(A) Labeling must provide arterial and venous pressure versus flow rates, either in tabular or graphical format. The fluid and its viscosity used during testing must be stated.
(B) Labeling must specify the forward and reverse recirculation rates.
(C) Labeling must provide the arterial and venous priming volumes.
(D) Labeling must specify an expiration date.
(E) Labeling must identify any disinfecting agents that cannot be used to clean any components of the device.
(F) Any contraindicated disinfecting agents due to material incompatibility must be identified by printing a warning on the catheter.
