Intended Use
The Proxis System is indicated for use as a proximal embolic protection system to prevent distal release of and to aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) in saphenous vein coronary bypass graft(s) (3.0 mm - 5.0 mm) during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting procedures. The Proxis System is also indicated to control the flow of fluids and aid in the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. The safety and effectiveness of this device as an embolic protection system has not been established in the cerebral, carotid or peripheral vasculature; native coronary arteries; or for treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. The device is not intended to be used as a thrombectomy system.
Device Description
The Proxis System (Proxis Embolic Protection System) is a proximal embolic protection system used in conjunction with other interventional devices. The Proxis System protects the patient from distal embolization by preventing antegrade flow of emboli release during an interventional procedure and then removing it from the vessel. The Proxis System consists of an Evacuation Sheath Catheter (Proxis Catheter), Inflation device, Aspiration syringe, Lip Seal and Strainer basket. In addition, an optional accessory called the Proxis Infusion Catheter (packaged separately) may be used with Proxis System. In the stagnant flow, the guide wire is advanced across the lesion site and the interventional device is tracked over the guide wire. Upon completion of the interventional device procedure, fluid and particles from the procedure may be aspirated using the aspiration syringe. If there is insufficient venous or collateral flow, the Proxis Infusion Catheter (optional accessory) may be used to deliver saline distal to the treatment site while simultaneously applying vacuum to aspirate fluid and particles from the treatment site.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical system for embolic protection and aspiration, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or description.

Yes
The device is indicated for use as a proximal embolic protection system to prevent distal release of and to aspirate embolic material in saphenous vein coronary bypass grafts during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting procedures, which is a therapeutic function. It also controls the flow of fluids and aids in the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

No

The Proxis System is an embolic protection system designed to prevent and remove embolic material during interventional procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components such as a catheter, inflation device, syringe, lip seal, and strainer basket, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during a medical procedure (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting) to physically protect against and remove embolic material from blood vessels. This is an interventional device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of catheters, syringes, and other components designed for physical manipulation within the body (preventing flow, aspirating material). This aligns with an interventional device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The device's function is purely mechanical and procedural.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body in vitro to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Proxis System does not perform any of these functions.
