Intended Use
The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System is indicated to dilate stenoses in the peripheral vasculature (iliac, femoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal, renal and subclavian arteries) and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) access grafts or arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System is also indicated for post-deployed stent expansion of self-expanding peripheral vascular stents.
Device Description
The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System consists of a Catheter, Inflation Unit, connecting cable and a rechargeable battery pack with recharging unit and battery receptacle. The inflation medium (liquid nitrous oxide) is provided in a disposable 14 gram cartridge.
More Information

,

No
The document describes a mechanical system for dilating blood vessels and grafts, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated to "dilate stenoses in the peripheral vasculature" and for "treatment of obstructive lesions", which are therapeutic actions.

No

This device is a therapeutic device used for dilating stenoses and expanding stents, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a Catheter, Inflation Unit, connecting cable, battery pack, recharging unit, battery receptacle, and a disposable cartridge containing liquid nitrous oxide. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device system, 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 describes a system used to physically dilate stenoses and treat obstructive lesions within the peripheral vasculature and access grafts. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device components (catheter, inflation unit, etc.) and the inflation medium (liquid nitrous oxide) are consistent with a device used for a physical procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System does not fit this description.
