Intended Use
The FETCH™ Aspiration Catheter is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from 2 mm or larger vessels in the arterial system.
Device Description
The FETCH Aspiration Catheter is a rapid exchange, low-profile tip, dual lumen catheter that uses a 0.014" (0.36 mm) guide wire to track to the target site. It is used for aspiration of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi. Its outer diameter 0.052" (1.33 mm) or 45 allows advancement to the target site through a 6F (0.070" I.D.) guiding catherer. A radiopaque marker is located about 2 mm from the distal tip. FETCH is provided with an exterpsion line, 30 cc syringe, one-way stopcock and a 40 micron collection basket.

More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of the catheter and its ability to aspirate emboli/thrombi, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an aspiration catheter designed for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from arterial vessels, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for the removal of emboli and thrombi, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. While it collects material for laboratory analysis, its primary purpose is not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter, syringe, stopcock, and collection basket, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the FETCH™ Aspiration Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • FETCH Catheter Function: The FETCH Aspiration Catheter is a medical device used within the body (in vivo) to physically remove emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description mentions a collection basket that can be used to filter aspirated blood for laboratory analysis, but the device itself is not performing the diagnostic analysis. The analysis would be a separate IVD process performed on the collected sample.

Therefore, the primary function and intended use of the FETCH Aspiration Catheter clearly place it outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
