No
The summary describes a mechanical device for accessing blood vessels during dialysis, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is a fistula catheter used to access a vein or artery for connection to a blood circuit during kidney dialysis. While it facilitates the dialysis process, the catheter itself is not performing therapeutic action but rather providing access for a therapeutic procedure.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to access a vein or artery and connect a patient to a hemodialysis machine. This is a therapeutic and access function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "fistula catheter" and describes physical components like a "catheter hub," "hemostatic valve," and "metallic introducer needle," indicating it is a physical medical device, 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 is to access a vein or artery for blood circuit connection during kidney dialysis and to minimize needlesticks. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic purposes (dialysis), not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter and needle system for accessing blood vessels. This aligns with a medical device used for direct patient intervention, not for laboratory testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the Supercath V fistula catheter is a medical device used for accessing the circulatory system for dialysis, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for the implanted blood access device. The special controls for this device are:(i) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. Material names and specific designation numbers must be provided.
(ii) Performance data must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(A) Pressure versus flow rates for both arterial and venous lumens, from the minimum flow rate to the maximum flow rate in 100 milliliter per minute increments, must be established. The fluid and its viscosity used during testing must be stated.
(B) Recirculation rates for both forward and reverse flow configurations must be established, along with the protocol used to perform the assay, which must be provided.
(C) Priming volumes must be established.
(D) Tensile testing of joints and materials must be conducted. The minimum acceptance criteria must be adequate for its intended use.
(E) Air leakage testing and liquid leakage testing must be conducted.
