Intended Use
The TERUMO® Surshield® SAFETY I.V. CATHETER is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or through which to place monitoring equipment such as blood pressure monitors. The needle shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy.
Device Description
The TERUMO® Surshield® Safety I.V. Catheter are devices consisting of an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of an a slender, flexible, radio-opaque, plastic catheter with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or through which to place monitoring equipment such as blood pressure monitors. The stainless steel cannula is placed in the catheter to maintain rigidity and is withdrawn after the catheter is placed in the vascular system. The sharp end of the inner needle is covered by the steel guard as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. This is a passive safety mechanism.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of an IV catheter and its safety mechanism, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to administer fluids intravenously, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device is an I.V. catheter used for administering fluids, withdrawing blood samples, or placing monitoring equipment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device (catheter, needle, hub, safety mechanism) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and functionality, not software performance.

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 insertion into the patient's vascular system for purposes like withdrawing blood samples, administering fluids, or placing monitoring equipment. These are direct interactions with the patient's body for therapeutic or monitoring purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (catheter and needle) designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any analysis or testing of specimens outside the body.

The device is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for accessing the vascular system.
