Intended Use
The MTI Echelon ™ Micro Catheter is intended to access peripheral and neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of physician- specified therapeutic agents such as embolization materials and of diagnostic materials such as contrast media.
Device Description
The Echelon Micro Catheter is an endhole, single-lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire into the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft which transitions into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal end facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the catheter is coated to increase lubricity.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a micro catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a catheter "intended to access peripheral and neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of physician- specified therapeutic agents such as embolization materials and of diagnostic materials such as contrast media." The catheter itself is a delivery mechanism for therapeutic agents, but it is not a therapeutic device on its own.

No

The device is intended for the infusion of therapeutic and diagnostic materials, not for diagnostic analysis itself. While it can deliver diagnostic materials like contrast media, it doesn't process or interpret data to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, shaft, luer adapter, radiopaque markers, and coating, indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biocompatibility.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for accessing vasculature for the infusion of therapeutic and diagnostic agents. This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such analysis on specimens.

The device described is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
