Intended Use
The Fast-Cath hemostasis introducer is indicated for the introduction of various cardiovascular catheters or biopsy devices into the heart. The Fast-Cath Transseptal Introducer is indicated for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
Device Description
Both the Fast-Cath hemostasis and transseptal introducers are used for introducing various catheters into the heart. The inner diameter measures 10F. The distal tips of the introducers are available in a variety of curve configurations to meet physician preferences for accessing different parts of the cardiac anatomy. Each introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and exchange over a guidewire. A sideport with a three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling, and pressure monitoring. The sheaths contain radiopaque materials for visualization under fluoroscopy. A plastic dilator and stainless steel guidewire are packaged with the introducers and are designed to facilitate the introduction and passage of the introducer through the vasculature.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components and their function in introducing catheters. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analysis or decision-making capabilities.

No.
The device is used for introducing other catheters or biopsy devices, but it does not directly provide therapy. It is an introducer, which is an accessory to therapeutic or diagnostic devices.

No

This device is an introducer for various cardiovascular catheters or biopsy devices. Its function is to facilitate the introduction of other devices, not to diagnose conditions itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as sheaths, valves, sideports, dilators, and guidewires, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Fast-Cath hemostasis and transseptal introducers are used to introduce catheters into the heart. They are tools used during a medical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. While the sideport allows for blood sampling, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test on that sample. The diagnostic test would be performed separately in a laboratory setting using other IVD devices.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Fast-Cath introducers are invasive medical devices used for procedural access, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
