Intended Use
The CathAssist™ Female Urinary Catheter Insertion Accessory is used to assist routine adult female urethral catheterization in both hospital and office settings. Some of the clinical situations in which female catheterization is indicated include: 1. Major surgery; 2. Urinary retention; 3. Collection of a sterile "cath" urine specimen; 4. Bladder irrigation; and 5. Labor and Delivery. The CathAssist™ Female Urinary Catheter Insertion Accessory is intended for use by: 1. Nurses and caregivers in the rapid and easy insertion of a female urinary catheter; 2. By adult females who are required to perform intermittent self catheterization following surgery; and 3. By adult females required to self-catheterize and who have motor or visual disabilities.

No
The provided text describes a physical accessory for assisting with female urinary catheterization and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is an accessory to assist in the insertion of a urinary catheter, which is a therapeutic procedure, but the accessory itself does not directly provide therapy. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than being a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as an "Insertion Accessory" to "assist routine adult female urethral catheterization." Its stated uses, such as assisting catheter insertion for surgery, urinary retention, specimen collection, and bladder irrigation, are all related to performing a medical procedure or collecting a sample, not to diagnosing a condition.

No

The description explicitly refers to an "Accessory" for catheter insertion, implying a physical component, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the CathAssist™ Female Urinary Catheter Insertion Accessory is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The CathAssist™ is a physical accessory used to assist in the insertion of a catheter into the body.
  • The intended use clearly describes a physical procedure (catheter insertion) and not the analysis of a biological sample.
  • There is no mention of analyzing any biological material or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the CathAssist™ is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
