No
The device description and performance summary focus on a mechanical cutting tool and its equivalence to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as an accessory used to facilitate the removal of catheters, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
The device description indicates it is used to cut a guiding catheter after a lead is positioned, which is a procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a molded plastic handle, a stainless steel blade, and a lead management section, which are all physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the removal of a guiding catheter after a coronary venous lead is positioned. This is a surgical/interventional procedure performed directly on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The device is a mechanical cutter used to physically cut a guiding catheter. It does not involve any reagents, analysis of biological samples, or diagnostic testing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples to provide information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition.
Therefore, the Boston Scientific ACUITY™ Universal Cutter is a surgical accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cutter is an accessory manufactured for use with cuttable guiding catheters, to facilitate removal of the catheter following lead placement. The Cutter attaches to the lead and cuts one wall of the guiding catheter as it is removed from the patient, allowing the guiding catheter to be removed from the lead. The Cutter consists of three sections: a molded plastic handle, a stainless steel blade and a lead management section. The lead management section secures and stabilizes the lead prior to and during the cutting procedure. After the lead has been positioned in the patient, the cutter is connected to the lead body as close to the catheter hub as possible. Holding the cutter stationary and fixed to a surface, the implanter pulls the catheter against the cutter blade. The hub is cut first, followed by the catheter section.

Dear Ms. Vittum:
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.
