No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard medical device (sheath introducer) with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML functionality. The description focuses on the physical components and intended use for vascular access.

No.

The device is an introducer sheath that facilitates the introduction of other devices for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, but it does not perform a therapeutic function itself.

No
The device is described as an introducer to facilitate the percutaneous introduction of various devices for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, but it is not itself performing a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like a sheath introducer, vessel dilator, sideport, extension tubing, 3-way stopcock, hemostasis valve, suture ring, guide wire, needle, and a radiopaque marker tip. These are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Prelude® Sheath Introducer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for providing access and facilitating the introduction of devices into veins and/or arteries for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for accessing the vascular system.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, stopcock, hemostasis valve) designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples outside the body to aid in diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Prelude® Sheath Introducer's function is to provide access to the vascular system within the body.

TRADE OR PROPRIETARY NAME: Prelude® Sheath Introducer

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Dilator, Vessel, For Percutanious Catheterization (870.1310)

Prelude® Sheath Introducer PREDICATE DEVICES:

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: Merit Medical System's Prelude Sheath Introducer consists of a sheath introducer with compatible vessel dilator that snaps securely into the sheath introducer hub. The sheath is equipped with a sideport attached to a segment of extension tubing terminating in a 3-way stopcock. The sheath hub contains an integral hemostasis valve and suture ring. The device is marketed with and without an appropriately sized guide wire and/or needle. The subject sheath introducers have a radiopaque marker tip.

INTENDED USE: The Prelude Sheath Introducer is intended to provide access and facilitate the percutaneous introduction of various devices into veins and/or arteries while maintaining hemostasis for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON : The modified device has the identical intended use and employs the same fundamental technology as the predicate device. A radiopaque marker tip is being added to the distal end of the sheath introducers.

PERFORMANCE TESTING: Verification and Validation Studies, conducted to demonstrate control of hazards identified in Merit's Clinical Risk Assessment, demonstrate that the modified devices met all of their pre-determined acceptance criteria and acceptably control the identified hazards.

SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Based on:

  • . Merit's conformance with Design Control requirements,
  • Analyses of Risks associated with the Modified Device; and .
  • Results of Verification and Validation tests identified in the Clinical Risk Assessment, . demonstrating that predetermined acceptance criteria have been met:

the modified devices are as safe and effective as, and perform as well as, or better than, the predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Hyink:

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
