Intended Use
The Skyway Support Catheter is to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature and to facilitate placement of guidewires and other interventional devices.
Device Description
The Skyway Support Catheters are 3F O.D. catheters that taper to a 1.9F tip and are compatible with a 0.014" standard guide wires. The Skyway catheters have a working length of 130-135cm and contains positioning markers at 95 and 105cm which provide a visual indication of the relative positions of Skyway and the end of a standard 105cm guide catheter. A single radiopaque markerband at tip of the catheter provide for a radiographic means of locating the tip position. The softer, distal end of the catheter is coated with a hydrophilic coating to assist passage through the guide catheter and vessels while the proximal end of the catheter contains a strain relief and a standard luer hub. The catheters are provided in both an over-the-wire (OTW) and rapid exchange (RX) versions. The RX version has a uniquely designed RX port to facilitate exchange of short guidewires. A 120cm stiffening mandrel is included with the Skyway RX version to provide support and pushability.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical characteristics and function of a support catheter, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing beyond basic radiographic localization.

No
The device is a support catheter used to facilitate the placement of guidewires and other interventional devices, rather than directly treating a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device, Skyway Support Catheter, is described as an interventional device used to facilitate placement of guidewires and other interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature. Its primary function is mechanical support and delivery, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific dimensions, materials, and features (luer hub, strain relief, radiopaque markerband, hydrophilic coating, stiffening mandrel). This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used in conjunction with steerable guidewires to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature and to facilitate placement of guidewires and other interventional devices. This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, with features like a tapering tip, radiopaque markers, and a hydrophilic coating to aid in navigation within the vasculature. This aligns with an interventional device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis.

In summary, the Skyway Support Catheter is an interventional medical device used to assist in procedures within the circulatory system, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
