Intended Use
Intravascular catheter is a medical device intended to be used to introduce fluids or medicament through the peripheral veins and / or withdrawal of blood samples. Intravascular catheter comprises of a short flexible plastic tube (the Catheter) which is inserted into a vein over a hollow introducer needle, after which the needle is withdrawn and discarded. The intravascular catheter is used in aseptic environment. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. - Infusion of I.V. Solutions. - Intermittent intravenous Drug administration.
Device Description
As per ISO 10555-1, the generic definition of an intravascular catheter is - Intravascular catheter is a tubular device, single or multi lumen, designed to be partially or totally inserted into the cardiovascular system for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purpose The device under this submission is an over-needle-peripheral catheter. Over - the - needle peripheral intravascular catheters are intended for accessing the peripheral vascular system, supplied in the sterile condition and intended for single use. These catheters are designed for the introduction or withdrawal of liquids into or from the peripheral vascular system.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard intravascular catheter and its performance testing based on established ISO standards and USP guidelines. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes.
The device description explicitly states that the intravascular catheter is designed to be used for "diagnostic and/or therapeutic purpose."

No

The text explicitly states that the device is for "introduction or withdrawal of liquids into or from the peripheral vascular system" and "infusion of I.V. Solutions" and "Intermittent intravenous Drug administration", which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic. Although the ISO definition mentions "diagnostic and/or therapeutic purpose", the specific intended uses for this particular device only describe therapeutic applications.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "short flexible plastic tube" and an "over-needle-peripheral catheter," which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also focus on physical and material properties.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for introducing fluids or medicament into peripheral veins and/or withdrawing blood samples. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a tubular device inserted into the cardiovascular system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The performance studies focus on the physical properties, biocompatibility, and sterility of the catheter itself, not on the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for accessing the vascular system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

In-vitro performance testing of the Medican Alpha included Design Qualification, visual analysis and Physical Analysis as per ISO 10555-1 & ISO 10555-5 [Sterile, Single-use intravascular catheter - (1) General requirements and (5) Over Needle Peripheral Catheter]. The Medican Alpha has also been tested for Physicochemical testing like Non volatile residue, Heavy metals, Residue on ignition, Buffering capacity, Bacterial Endotoxin tests and Sterility test as per USP-29.
The results have confirmed that Medican Alpha meets the requirement for all general and specific requirements of ISO 10555-1 & ISO 10555-5; and also passes the Physiochemical, Bacterial Endotoxin and Sterility tests as per USP-29
The Biocompatibility of the Medican Alpha has been verified in accordance with ISO 10993-1:1997 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices). Test results confirmed Biocompatibility of the catheter when tested as an External Communicating, Circulating Blood contact, and prolonged Exposure (>24 hrs to 30 days) device.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCES AND CONCLUSIONS:

In-vitro performance testing of the Medican Alpha included Design Qualification, visual analysis and Physical Analysis as per ISO 10555-1 & ISO 10555-5 [Sterile, Single-use intravascular catheter - (1) General requirements and (5) Over Needle Peripheral Catheter]. The Medican Alpha has also been tested for Physicochemical testing like Non volatile residue, Heavy metals, Residue on ignition, Buffering capacity, Bacterial Endotoxin tests and Sterility test as per USP-29.

The results have confirmed that Medican Alpha meets the requirement for all general and specific requirements of ISO 10555-1 & ISO 10555-5; and also passes the Physiochemical, Bacterial Endotoxin and Sterility tests as per USP-29

The Biocompatibility of the Medican Alpha has been verified in accordance with ISO 10993-1:1997 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices). Test results confirmed Biocompatibility of the catheter when tested as an External Communicating, Circulating Blood contact, and prolonged Exposure (>24 hrs to 30 days) device.

In comparative study of Medican Alpha IV Catheter with Becton Dickinson catheter premarket notification, BD Insyte, it is found that The Medican Alpha IV Catheter is similar in respect of material, design and intended use with Becton Dickinson catheter. "BD Insyte ™". The only two major differences are ") presence of luer cap in Medikit Brand catheter and 2) that of packaging (blister) material. A luer cap is an additional feature in Medican Alpha and does not alter any functional aspect of the device. The packaging material does not affect the functional use of product as both provide a sterile package till the shelf life period. Therefore, Medican Alpha may be considered as substantially equivalent to "BD Insyte TM".

In comparative study of Medican Alpha IV Catheter with B Braun catheter premarket notification, 1-Introcan W, it is observed that The Medican Alpha IV Catheter is similar in respect of material, design and intended use with B Braun catheter, 1-Introcan W. The two major differences are 1) the safety feature of the predicate device that is not present in the Medikit brand Medical Alpha and 2) presence of luer cap in Medikit Brand catheter; this is an additional feature of Medican Alpha. Therefore, Medican Alpha may be considered as substantially equivalent to B Braun catheter, 1-Introcan W, except for the Safety features provided in B Braun 1-Introcan W.
