Intended Use
The SterilMed Reprocessed Imaging Catheter is intended for intravascular or intracardiac ultrasound imaging in order to provide visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart. This device is intended for use in the right-heart only.
Device Description
The SterilMed Reprocessed Imaging Catheter is intended to be used with a compatible ultrasound imaging system. It is steerable, has a useable length of 90 cm and a diameter of 10 French. The distal end of the catheter contains an ultrasonic phased array imaging transducer. The transducer offers imaging modes at frequencies between 4.0 and 10.0 MHz.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a reprocessed ultrasound imaging catheter and its intended use, device description, and performance testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the provided text.

No
The device is used for imaging and visualization of anatomy and other devices, not for treating a condition.

Yes
The device is intended for "intravascular or intracardiac ultrasound imaging in order to provide visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart." This visualization is used to understand the patient's condition, which is a diagnostic purpose. The predicate device also explicitly includes "Diagnostic" in its name.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter with a transducer, which is hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intravascular or intracardiac ultrasound imaging in order to provide visualization of vascular anatomy, cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, or other devices in the heart." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for imaging and visualization.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with an ultrasonic transducer for imaging, which is consistent with an in vivo imaging device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing tests on specimens in the provided text.

Therefore, the SterilMed Reprocessed Imaging Catheter is an in vivo imaging device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Representative samples of reprocessed imaging catheters underwent design testing to demonstrate appropriate functional characteristics. Process validation testing was done to validate the cleaning and sterilization procedures as well as the device's packaging. In addition, the manufacturing process includes visual and functional testing of all products produced. Finally, testing to support the required Special 510(k) Report was successfully performed and provided to the Agency.
