Intended Use
The Sterling™ Monorail™ PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, renal, and carotid arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This device is also indicated for post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Sterling™ Monorail™ PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a Monorail brand rapid exchange catheter with a semi-compliant balloon fixed at the distal tip. The balloon catheter has a coaxial shaft design. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon, and the wire lumen permits the use of guidewires 0.014 in / 0.018 in (0.36 mm/ 0.46 mm) to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures to and through the stenosis. Two radiopaque marker bands, in conjunction with fluoroscopy, enable accurate positioning of the balloon. The working lengths of the balloon catheter are 80 cm and 135 cm. A needle with a luer port is included for flushing the distal inner lumen prior to the insertion of appropriate guidewires.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of a balloon catheter and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
This device is a therapeutic device because its intended use is for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) to treat obstructive lesions in the peripheral vasculature and for post-dilatation of stents, which are direct medical interventions to treat a condition.

No

This device, a balloon dilatation catheter, is used for therapeutic purposes (PTA to treat obstructive lesions and post-dilatation of stents) and not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, lumens, guidewire compatibility, and radiopaque markers, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Function: The Sterling™ Monorail™ PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a device used directly within the body (in vivo) to physically dilate blood vessels. It does not analyze samples or provide diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature" and "post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents." These are therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon for inflation, designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

This device is a therapeutic medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
