Intended Use
The PTFE Peelable Introducer is intended for use in the percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters in the venous system.
Device Description
The Greatbatch Medical PTFE Peelable Introducer kit consists of a disposable needle, a disposable syringe, a guidewire, and a peelable introducer set consisting of a dilator and sheath with integrated proximal handles. The Introducer is available in various lengths in 3.5F through 16.5F. The dilator is designed to be delivered over a guidewire. The dilator and hub is constructed of high density polyethylene. The outer sheath and handle is constructed of PTFE and TPX. The inner dilator and outer sheath are radiopaque so that they are visible under fluoroscopy. The hub of the dilator has a spin lock design that connects to the luer of the sheath when rotated. The PTFE Peelable Introducer sheath has a "peel-away" feature which allows the user to remove the sheath without removing the inserted catheter or pacing lead. The PTFE Peelable Introducer is provided sterile and is intended for single use. The device is not intended for sterilization by the user.

No
The device description and performance testing summary focus on the physical components and mechanical function of the introducer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates the percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters, which are therapeutic, but it is not itself directly providing a therapeutic effect. It is an introducer, a tool for accessing the venous system.

No

Explanation: The device is an introducer for inserting pacing leads or catheters, which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as a needle, syringe, guidewire, dilator, and sheath, all constructed from materials like PTFE, TPX, and high-density polyethylene. It also mentions features like radiopacity and a peel-away function, indicating 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 "for use in the percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters in the venous system." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body to introduce other medical devices.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device used for accessing the venous system and facilitating the insertion of other devices. It does not describe a test performed on biological samples outside the body.
  • 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.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is purely procedural and does not involve the analysis of biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
