Intended Use
The Nexus Detachable Coils are intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms that -- because of their morphology, their location, or the patient's general medical condition - are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be a) very high risk for management by traditional operative techniques, or b) be inoperable. The Nexus Detachable Coils are also intended for the embolization of other neuro vascular abnormalities, such as, arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae.
Device Description
The Nexus™ Detachable Coil are platinum alloy coils, enlaced with absorbable polymer fibers, and attached to a stainless steel guiding system with a radiopaque positioning coil. Nexus™ Detachable Coils are designed for use with the NXT Detachment System, specifically designed for coil detachment. The NXT Detachment System is sold separately.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (platinum alloy coils) and its intended use for embolization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are bench tests of the physical properties of the coils.

Yes
The device is used for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device, Nexus Detachable Coils, is described as being used for the "endovascular embolization" of intracranial aneurysms and other neuro vascular abnormalities, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is comprised of physical components (platinum alloy coils, polymer fibers, stainless steel guiding system, radiopaque positioning coil).

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Nexus Detachable Coils are physical devices intended for endovascular embolization. This is a surgical procedure performed inside the body to block blood vessels.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a therapeutic intervention (embolization of aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities) performed directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the coil and its delivery system, not a test kit or analytical instrument.

The information provided describes a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).
