Intended Use
The EmmeBi Lepstep Central Venous Catheter Kit is intended for short term use as an aid for catheterization of the superior vena cava for the purpose of performing parenteral infusional or nutritional therapy and to withdraw blood samples where the peripheral venous system is not practicable.
Device Description
The Emmebi Central Venous Catheter Kit is comprised of three main components; 1. Syringe/inserter 2. guidewire (J-Wire) and 3. central venous catheter. The catheter kit is intended for short term use as an aid to access the central venous system. The Syringe/inserter simplifies the technique used by physicians to perform catheterization. The guidewire (J-Wire) is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter being introduced. The catheters are available in 14-> 22 gauge sizes with 4, 5, 6 and 7 Fr. diameter sizes in either a single, double or triple lumen. Circular lumen passages have soft flexible tapered tips. Lumens are connected to extensions containing hubs and catheter fixing wings. The lumens are printed with depth markings. Catheter markings are radiopaque.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical properties of the catheter kit, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as an "aid for catheterization" and is used for "performing parenteral infusional or nutritional therapy and to withdraw blood samples," not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is a central venous catheter kit used for therapeutic purposes (parenteral infusion, nutritional therapy) and to withdraw blood samples, which is a collection activity, not a diagnostic interpretation. Its primary function is to provide access to the central venous system, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (syringe/inserter, guidewire, catheter) and performance studies related to physical properties (tensile strength, bond strength, etc.), indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for catheterization of the superior vena cava for parenteral therapy, nutritional therapy, and blood withdrawal. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples from the patient's body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device components (syringe/inserter, guidewire, catheter) are all designed for accessing and delivering substances into or withdrawing substances from the central venous system in vivo.
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on the use of this device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a medical device used for therapeutic and procedural purposes within the body.
