No
The document describes a mechanical vena cava filter and its extraction kit, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism and the treatment of existing pulmonary embolism, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is a vena cava filter designed to prevent pulmonary embolisms by physically stopping thrombi. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one, as it does not diagnose a condition but rather treats or prevents one.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of stainless steel (filter, delivery kit, extraction kit, forceps), indicating it is a hardware medical 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 tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Description and Intended Use: The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter is a physical device implanted inside the body (in vivo) to prevent pulmonary embolism by filtering blood in the vena cava. The extraction kit is also used to remove this implanted device from the body.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description and intended use do not mention any form of testing on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition. The device's function is purely mechanical and interventional.
Therefore, the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit are considered medical devices used for treatment and intervention, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via placement in the vena cava in the following situations:
- Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulants are contraindicated: -
- Failure of anticoagulant therapy in thromboembolic diseases; -
- Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced; and
- Chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism where anticoagulant therapy has failed or is contraindicated.
The ALN optional filter may be removed according to the instructions supplied in the Instruction for Use of the ALN Extraction Kit.

Device Description
The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit consists of a 9 legs 316L stainless steel vena cava filter sold with a delivery kit, and an extraction kit with an 8 arms 316L stainless steel forceps. The filter is prepackaged in a filter holder designed to facilitate the insertion of the filter in the introducer catheter. The filter and the delivery kit are packaged together in Tyvek/film pouches and the extraction kit is packaged alone in the same type of pouches.
The ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter is designed to stop free thrombus in the vena cava in high risk patients. The insertion of the filter can be made by jugular, brachial or femoral approach and are very little traumatic, as the sheath has a 7F diameter. The extraction can be made only by jugular approach.

Summary of Performance Studies
The safety and effectiveness of the ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit have been demonstrated via clinical data collected for 14 years. Every clinical investigation is in conformance with the FDA guidance for cardiovascular filter and a review of the literature underlines that clinical performances of ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit are similar to the clinical performances of the two predicates. The last clinical study about ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter and Extraction Kit was published in chest in 2006. It includes 220 patients who receive an ALN Optional Vena Cava Filter for prevention of venous thromboembolism. Results show low rates of complication. On the 220 filters, 55 were retrieved after a mean period of 51 days (range: 6 - 352 days) without any complication.

§ 870.3375 Cardiovascular intravascular filter.
(a)
Identification. A cardiovascular intravascular filter is an implant that is placed in the inferior vena cava for the purpose of preventing pulmonary thromboemboli (blood clots generated in the lower limbs and broken loose into the blood stream) from flowing into the right side of the heart and the pulmonary circulation.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) “Use of International Standards Organization's ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ” and
(2) FDA's:
(i) “510(k) Sterility Review Guidance and Revision of 2/12/90 (K90-1)” and

Dear Ms. Slaughter:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
