Intended Use
The EKOS Micro-Infusion System is intended for regional infusion of contrast materials into selected vessels in the neurovasculature. The EKOS Micro-Infusion System may be used for controlled, regional infusion into selected vessels and is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
Device Description
The EKOS Micro-Infusion System is an infusion catheter system designed to deliver ultrasound energy through a transducer element at the distal catheter tip. This device is intended to deliver angiographic contrast material into the neurovasculature.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical infusion system with ultrasound energy delivery, and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
The device delivers contrast material for imaging rather than treating a disease or condition. While the device does deliver ultrasound energy, its stated purpose is to deliver contrast material.

No

The device is described as an "infusion catheter system designed to deliver ultrasound energy... to deliver angiographic contrast material." Its intended use is for "regional infusion of contrast materials into selected vessels." This functionality relates to delivering substances for imaging or therapy, not to diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "infusion catheter system" designed to deliver ultrasound energy through a "transducer element at the distal catheter tip," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The EKOS Micro-Infusion System is a catheter system designed to infuse substances (contrast materials) directly into the neurovasculature. It is an invasive device used within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "regional infusion of contrast materials into selected vessels in the neurovasculature." This is a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure performed directly on the patient, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the EKOS Micro-Infusion System falls under the category of a medical device used for in-vivo procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
