Intended Use
The Medtronic 7F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced. The 7F Sherpa NX guiding catheter is intended for used in the coronary or peripheral vascular system.
Device Description
The 7F Sherpa NX guide catheter consists of a luer hub, strain relief, a shaft (outer jacket, braid wire, an intermediate layer, and inner liner), a secondary (transition) segment, a primary segment, tungsten marker band, a segment sleeve and a soft tip. The 7F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter design is based on a four layer design with an inner linner of polyethylene.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a guide catheter) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as providing a pathway for other therapeutic devices, not performing therapy itself.

No
Explanation: The Medtronic 7F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is designed to provide a pathway for therapeutic devices and is not described as being used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a luer hub, shaft, marker band, and soft tip, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic 7F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced" within the coronary or peripheral vascular system. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic procedure, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a catheter designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Medtronic 7F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.
