Intended Use
The Kendall 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Heparin Coating and Silver Impregnated Sleeve (Palindrome™ Sapphire™) is intended for acute and chronic hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion. It may be inserted either percutaneously or by cutdown. The performance of the heparin coating on this catheter in reducing platelet adhesion on the catheter surface for up to 720 hours of dialysis treatment is supported by bench and animal testing. The performance of the silver impregnated sleeve in reducing colonization on the catheter surface for up to 30 days is supported by bench and animal testing.
Device Description
The proposed Kendall 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Heparin Coating and Silver Impregnated Sleeve (Palindrome™ Sapphire™) has a radiopaque polyurethane shaft with two large inner lumens designed in a "double D" configuration. The distal end of the catheter extends to a symmetrical tip. The proximal end of the catheter shaft contains a polyurethane hub assembly and silicone extension sets. The catheter contains a heparin coating on its surface, from the tip of the catheter to the cuff on the external surface, and throughout the entire length on the internal surface (tip to luer adapters), for the purpose of reduction of platelet adhesion. The proposed catheter also contains a silver impregnated sleeve permanently bound to the outer surface of the device from the hub to the cuff for the purpose of reducing microbial colonization on the external surface of the catheter in the subcutaneous tunnel tract.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) with coatings and a sleeve for reducing platelet adhesion and microbial colonization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data analysis, or any other components that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are based on bench and animal testing of the physical properties and effects of the coatings and sleeve.

Yes
The device is intended for acute and chronic hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion, which are therapeutic procedures. Additionally, the heparin coating and silver-impregnated sleeve are designed to provide therapeutic benefits by reducing platelet adhesion and microbial colonization, respectively.

No

The device is a chronic hemodialysis catheter, used for treatment (hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with specific material properties (polyurethane, silicone), coatings (heparin), and an impregnated sleeve (silver). The performance studies focus on the physical and biological interactions of this hardware device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Kendall 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is an implantable medical device designed to be inserted into a patient's veins for procedures like hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion. It directly interacts with the patient's circulatory system.
  • Intended Use: The stated intended use is for performing medical procedures on a patient, not for analyzing samples taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the catheter and its coatings, all of which are designed for direct patient contact and function within the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the catheter's ability to reduce platelet adhesion and microbial colonization on the catheter surface while implanted in the body or in simulated in-vivo conditions. These are not studies related to analyzing patient samples.

In summary, the device is a therapeutic and procedural device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples outside the body.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).

Legally Marketed Devices to Which Substantial Equivalence is Claimed:

The Kendall 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Heparin Coating and Silver Impregnated Sleeve (Palindrome™ Sapphire™) is substantially equivalent to Kendall's 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Heparin Coating (Palindrome™ Emerald™, K060509) in intended use, materials, physical characteristics, and performance characteristics. The modification attributed to the predicate device is the addition of a silver impregnated sleeve to the external surface of the catheter from the hub to the cuff to reduce catheter colonization in the subcutaneous tunnel tract. This silver impregnated sleeve is the same sleeve used on the Kendall 14.5 Fr Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Silver Impregnated Sleeve (Palindrome™ Ruby™) cleared for marketing via K060972 on August 4, 2006. K060972 is within the same device classification regulation (876.5540) as the unmodified predicate device, and has the same intended use. No other modifications have been made to either the silver impregnated sleeve or the predicate device, including the heparin coating.
