Intended Use
The Medtronic 8F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced. The 8F Sherpa NX guiding catheter is intended for use in the coronary or peripheral vascular system.
Device Description
The 8F Sherpa NX guide catheter consists of a luer hub, strain relief, a shaft (outer jacket, braid wire, an intermediate layer, and inner liner), a secondary (transition) segment, a primary segment, primary (transition) segment, tungsten marker band. a segment sleeve and a soft tip. The 8F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter design is based on a four layer design with an inner liner of polyethylene.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and intended use of a guide catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as providing a pathway for other therapeutic devices, not as a therapeutic device itself.

No

This device is a guide catheter designed to provide a pathway for therapeutic devices, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a luer hub, shaft, marker band, and soft tip, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Medtronic 8F Sherpa NX Guide Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to "provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced" within the "coronary or peripheral vascular system." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic procedure, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Sherpa NX Guide Catheter's function is purely mechanical and procedural, facilitating the delivery of other devices within the body.
