The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and fluid dynamics, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing.
Yes
The device is intended to treat a condition by removing soft emboli and thrombi from the vasculature, which is a therapeutic action.
No
The device is intended to infuse and aspirate fluids and remove emboli/thrombi, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components: a catheter and a mechanical hand-activated device (Rinspirator) with accessories, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "infuse physician specified fluid and remove/aspirate fluid, fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from the coronary and peripheral vasculature." This describes a therapeutic or interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a catheter system designed for mechanical action within the vasculature (infusion and aspiration). It does not involve the examination of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
In summary, the Kerberos Proximal Solutions Rinspiration System is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure within the patient's circulatory system, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The system consists of a Rinspiration™ Catheter, and a Rinspirator™ with accessories. The Rinspiration Catheter is a multi-lumen, rail configuration catheter that has perforations located near the distal end of the catheter to dispense an infusible fluid. The Rinspiration Catheter will be placed in the vasculature of a patient over a guide wire. The Rinspiration Catheter is offered with a standard tip and a short tip. The catheter includes a radiopaque marker band at the distal tip and two radiopaque marker bands designating the infusion portion of the catheter. The catheter has a hub on the proximal end that allows access to the infusion and aspiration lumens. The Rinspirator and accessories is a sterile, single-use mechanical device. This hand activated device allows for simultaneous infusion and aspiration of fluids at the treatment site. The device activates two syringes, one for infusion and one for aspiration. This simultaneous infusion and aspiration action is known as "Rinspiration."
