Intended Use
A-View® catheters are intended for use in conjunction with TEE investigation of the upper mediastinum in anaesthetised patients. They allow visibility of the distal ascending aorta by TEE and permit the condition of the ascending aorta to be evaluated before surgery. A-View Catheters are limited for use in adult patients.
Device Description
A-View Basic consists of only the catheter itself. The A-View catheter has three tubes connected by a Y-connector of which one holds a distal, large balloon, one holds a small, pilot balloon and the third holds a stop cock with two standard female luer connections. Both balloons are clear and colorless. On the main shaft a distance mark indicating 24 cm from the closest balloon shoulder is pointed out. A-View Plus consists of the catheter plus a standard 50 ml syringe with luer connector and a swivel Y-connector.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and basic functionalities of a catheter and associated accessories, with no mention of AI or ML. The predicate devices are also standard medical devices without AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is solely for investigatory purposes, providing visibility for evaluation but not directly treating a condition.

Yes

The A-View® catheters are intended for use in conjunction with TEE investigation to evaluate the condition of the ascending aorta before surgery, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a catheter and potentially a syringe and connectors, which are physical hardware components, not software.

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 to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The A-View catheters are used in conjunction with TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) to improve visibility of the distal ascending aorta during a medical procedure (TEE investigation). They are a physical device used within the body to facilitate imaging, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "use in conjunction with TEE investigation" and allows "visibility of the distal ascending aorta by TEE." This describes a procedural aid, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

The device is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) to assist with an imaging procedure. It does not perform a diagnostic test on a sample in vitro (outside the body).

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)

Dear Ms. DeBiase:

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.
