The device description focuses on the physical components and mechanical function of a valved tearaway introducer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are in vitro and compare physical properties to predicate devices.
No
The device is an introducer sheath and dilator, used to facilitate the insertion of a catheter into the central venous system, but it does not itself treat a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose: "The Medcomp Valved Tearaway Introducer is a two-part single use device used to obtain vascular access and facilitate intravascular catheter insertion." It creates a pathway for other devices, rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of High Density Polyethylene and PTFE, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "obtain central venous access to facilitate catheter insertion into the central venous system." This describes a surgical/interventional procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device used for accessing blood vessels and inserting catheters. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device is clearly intended for direct use in a medical procedure on a patient's vascular system.

Device Description
The Medcomp Valved Tearaway Introducer is a two-part single use device used to obtain vascular access and facilitate intravascular catheter insertion. The Medcomp Valved Tearaway Introducer consists of a peel-able introducer sheath which contains a "duckbill" seal to substantially minimize air/blood from entering or escaping when the dilator is removed. The dilator is comprised of a cylindrical tube with a locking hub; the sheath is also a cylindrical tube with a hub and valve. When the dilator is fully seated it snaps into the hub of the introducer sheath to prevent independent movement of either piece when in use. The dilator extends beyond the sheath to provide a zero tolerance clearance between sheath and dilator. The sheath and dilator when used in conjunction with an introducer needle and guidewire provide a means to obtain a percutaneous opening to the vascular system to facilitate the insertion of a catheter. After removing the dilator a catheter can then be placed through the sheath. Breaking the sheath's hub and peeling the sheath away from the catheter then allows the sheath to be removed. The dilator is composed of a High Density Polyethylene with Barium Sulfate for visibility under fluoroscopy by the attending physician during insertion. The sheath is composed of PTFE to provide a smooth, consistent peel.

Summary of Performance Studies
In Vitro performance data for the Medcomp Valved Tearaway Introducer, including peel force, demonstrates that this device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices.
Clinical studies were not deemed necessary since in-vitro testing was sufficient to demonstrate safety and effectiveness by way of comparison to the legally marketed predicate device.
Biocompatibility testing demonstrates that the materials used meets the requirements of ISO 10993 for an external communicating device with limited duration blood path contact.
