Intended Use
The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are intended for use with the Alpha Infusion Pump for the infusion of a local anesthetic into a surgical site or body cavity, postoperatively, for the relief of pain. The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are intended for use in the hospital or by an ambulatory patient.
Device Description
The Polyurethane Infusion Catheter consists of two design options: Alpha Cath™ open end style catheter: this style catheter consists of a length of tubing which functions as a flow restrictor. The proximal end of the tubing has a stainless needle for insertion into the Alpha Infusion Pump. The distal end of the tubing contains axial slit ports near the distal tip which are designed to infuse medication in case the end of the catheter becomes blocked. Multi Drip® closed end style catheter: this style catheter consists of a length of tubing which functions as a flow restrictor. The proximal end of the tubing has a stainless needle for insertion into the Alpha Infusion Pump. The distal end of the tubing has a series of tiny ports along the distal portion of the catheter which are designed to spread medication along an infusion zone.
More Information

I apologize, but the information provided is "Not Found," so I am unable to identify any K/DEN numbers for predicate devices.

I'm sorry, but "Not Found" does not contain any K/DEN numbers. Therefore, I cannot provide a list of reference devices based on the input.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its intended use with an infusion pump. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as an "Infusion Catheter" intended for "infusion of a local anesthetic into a surgical site or body cavity, postoperatively, for the relief of pain," which directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition (pain).

No

The device description indicates its purpose is for the infusion of medication for pain relief, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like tubing, needles, and ports, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are used to infuse medication (local anesthetic) directly into a surgical site or body cavity. They are delivering a substance into the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for pain relief by delivering medication, not for diagnostic testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or drug delivery device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

into the Alpha Infusion Pump. The distal end of the tubing has a series of tiny ports along the distal portion of the catheter which are designed to spread medication along an infusion zone.

Intended Use:

The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are intended for use with the Alpha Infusion Pump for the infusion of a local anesthetic into a surgical site or body cavity, post-operatively, for the relief of pain. The Polyurethane Infusion Catheter are intended for use in the hospital or by an ambulatory patient.

Technological Comparison:

The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are the same as the current Alpha Cath™ and Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheters except that the catheter material has been changed from PVC to medical grade polyurethane.

Conclusion:

The Polyurethane Infusion Catheters are substantially equivalent to the existing Alpha Cath™ and Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter product lines.
