Intended Use
The Tip-Shape Echelon™ Micro Catheter is intended to access peripheral and neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents such as embolization materials and of diagnostic materials such as contrast media.
Device Description
The Tip-shape Echelon Micro Catheter is an endhole, single-lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire into the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft which transitions into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal end facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the catheter is coated to increase lubricity.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance of a micro catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a micro catheter intended to deliver therapeutic agents or diagnostic materials, but it is not itself a therapeutic agent or treatment method.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for the infusion of therapeutic and diagnostic materials, not for the diagnosis of a medical condition itself. It facilitates the delivery of diagnostic materials (like contrast media), but it is a delivery tool, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, shaft, luer adapter, radiopaque markers, and coating, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for accessing vasculature for the infusion of therapeutic and diagnostic materials within the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, which is consistent with an in-vivo (within the body) procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Tip-Shape Echelon™ Micro Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
