No
The device description and the absence of mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts strongly suggest this is a traditional mechanical device.

No
The device is indicated for percutaneous access to the peripheral vascular system and to assist in the placement and removal of catheters, which describes a supportive or facilitative role rather than a direct therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for percutaneous access and placement/removal of catheters, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical, sterile, single-use sheath made from polyester filled with Titanium Oxide and Barium, intended for percutaneous access. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "percutaneous access to the peripheral vascular system and is designed to assist in the placement and removal of catheters." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a sheath used for accessing blood vessels and facilitating catheter procedures. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or diagnostic results.

Therefore, the Applied Medical Expandable Vascular Sheath is a medical device used for a procedural purpose within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Christernsen:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
