Intended Use
The FlowPICC Catheter is indicated for short or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and injection of contrast media. For blood sampling, infusions, or therapies, use a 5F or larger catheter. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5cc/sec. The FlowPICC Catheter is indicated for use by itself or with the FlowPICC System (Stylet and Console) sold separately.
Device Description
The FlowPICC Catheter is a double lumen open-ended PICC designed for power injection through one designated lumen. The FlowPICC Catheter is fabricated from a soft, radiopaque, biocompatible polyurethane material with a working length of 50 cm with markings in 5 cm increments. The catheter is packaged with accessories necessary for implantation of a PICC catheter using a Seldinger or modified Seldinger technique. A stylet and adaptor sidenort are provided to assist in catheter insertion.

The summary describes a standard PICC catheter and its accessories, with no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device, a PICC catheter, is used to facilitate intravenous therapy and injection of contrast media, which are forms of treatment, but the device itself is a delivery mechanism and not the therapy.

No

Explanation: The device, FlowPICC Catheter, is described as a medical device for providing peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, injection of contrast media, blood sampling, infusions, or therapies. Its function is to facilitate the delivery or withdrawal of substances, which are therapeutic or preparatory for diagnostic imaging (contrast media injection), rather than to diagnose medical conditions itself.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyurethane and packaged with accessories for implantation, indicating it is a hardware 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 states that the FlowPICC Catheter is for "peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and injection of contrast media," "blood sampling, infusions, or therapies," and "power injection." These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into the vascular system. This is consistent with an in-vivo device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device which would typically involve reagents, analyzers, or test kits for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

In-vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The FlowPICC Catheter is a medical device used for delivering substances into or withdrawing substances from the body, which is an in-vivo application.

§ 880.5970 Percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.(b)
