Intended Use
The EkoSonic™ Endovascular System with Rapid Pulse Modulation is intended for the infusion of solutions into the pulmonary arteries. The safety and effectiveness of the EKOS EkoSonic™ Endovascular System with Rapid Pulse Modulation for thrombolytic therapy administration in pulmonary embolus have not been established. In particular, the ultrasound energy delivered by the EndoWave system is not intended to be therapeutic, nor has it been cleared with an indication for thrombolysis in pulmonary emboli. The EkoSonic System is intended for the controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The system consists of a disposable infusion catheter with removable ultrasound core and an instrument that generates and controls the delivery of energy to the catheter. The infusion catheter contains multiple side holes distributed over the length of the treatment zone. The ultrasound core contains up to 30 ultrasound elements, evenly spaced over the treatment zone. Thermal sensors in the treatment zone monitor catheter temperature.

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on hardware components and energy delivery, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device explicitly states that "the ultrasound energy delivered by the EndoWave system is not intended to be therapeutic". Its primary function is infusing solutions.

No
The device is described as an "infusion system" intended for "infusion of solutions" and "infusion of physician-specified fluids." Its function is therapeutic (delivering substances) rather than diagnostic (detecting or identifying a condition).

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a disposable infusion catheter with a removable ultrasound core and an instrument that generates and controls energy delivery, indicating significant hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "infusion of solutions into the pulmonary arteries" and "controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids... into the peripheral vasculature." This describes a therapeutic or interventional procedure performed within the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter and an instrument for delivering energy and fluids into the vasculature. This aligns with an interventional device, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to deliver substances directly into the patient's circulatory system.
