No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter and sheath) for fluid infusion and device introduction, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a catheter and introducer sheath intended for fluid infusion and facilitating entry of devices into vasculature, which are functions related to medical procedures but do not inherently involve therapy or treatment of a disease.

No
The FlowMedica Benephit™ Δ 5Fr. Introducer Sheath is intended to facilitate the entry of "interventional and diagnostic devices," implying it is not a diagnostic device itself but rather a tool for introducing such devices. The main component, the Bifurcated Infusion Catheter, is for the "infusion of fluids," which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Infusion System" consisting of a "Bifurcated Infusion Catheter" and an "Introducer Sheath," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the FlowMedica Benephit™ Δ Infusion System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "infusion of fluids into the peripheral vasculature" and to "facilitate the entry of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for therapeutic or procedural purposes, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description refers to a "Bifurcated Infusion Catheter" and an "Introducer Sheath," which are devices used for accessing and delivering substances or other devices into the circulatory system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis

IVDs are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose diseases, or monitor treatment. This device's function is entirely different.
