More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its intended use and features, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a "Chronic Dialysis Catheter," indicating its use in hemodialysis, which is a therapeutic intervention for patients with kidney failure.

No

Explanation: The device description states it is a catheter for attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter with lumens, connectors, clamps, and a stylet, 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 is for "attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient to treat a medical condition (kidney failure requiring dialysis, or conditions requiring apheresis).
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed to be inserted into a blood vessel. This is an invasive medical device used for treatment, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is used to directly access the vascular system for treatment.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
