Intended Use
The Reverse Medical ReCruit™ Microcatheter is designed for use with a guiding catheter for the retrieval of intravascular foreign objects such as coils, balloons, portions of catheters and/or loop wires misplaced during interventional radiologic procedures in peripheral, neuro and cardiovasculature.
Device Description
The Reverse Medical ReCruit™ Microcatheter consists of a flexible, tapered reinforced composite catheter with a braided mesh retrieval element attached to the distal region of the catheter. The inner lumen can accommodate a guidewire to aid in placement of the catheter. The catheter contains radiopaque markers to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization- a distal tip marker, markers at the proximal and distal end of the retrieval element, and circumferentially placed markers within the retrieval element. The retrieval element is deployed through the advancement of a guidewire or the ReAct™ stylet through the lumen to radially expand the retrieval element. The selection of guidewire sizes in accordance with device compatibility allows for guidewires to be used either for navigation and placement or for deployment of the element. The proximal end of the catheter has a luer fitting to allow attachment of accessories and infusion of liquids through the catheter. The catheter is coated with a hydrophilic coating. The catheter is designed to be used with a guide catheter. The catheter is offered in various retrieval element sizes to accommodate physician preferences and patient anatomy. Each ReCruit™ Microcatheter is packaged with a ReAct™ stylet and torque device. The ReAct™ stylet is a stainless steel wire with a platinum tip that may be used to activate the ReCruit™ Microcatheter's retrieval element. The ReCruit™ Microcatheter can be used in vessel diameters ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Materials used in the Reverse Medical ReCruit™ Foreign Body Retrieval Microcatheter are manufactured from medical grade materials that are commonly used in the industry, are similar or identical to the predicate device, and have historically been demonstrated to be both biocompatible and suitable for this use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a microcatheter for foreign object retrieval. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven decision-making or analysis.

Yes
The device is designed for the retrieval of intravascular foreign objects, indicating it is used to treat a medical condition by removing harmful foreign bodies.

No

The device is designed for the retrieval of foreign objects, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various components (braided mesh, radiopaque markers, luer fitting, hydrophilic coating, stylet, torque device) and mentions preclinical studies involving in vitro and in vivo testing, indicating it is a hardware-based 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 the retrieval of foreign objects from within the body (intravascular). This is a therapeutic/interventional procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for mechanical retrieval, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other biological samples, nor is there any indication of providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is purely mechanical retrieval within the body.
