Intended Use
The PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is used to facilitate the placing of an intravascular catheter through the skin into the circulatory system.
Device Description
The PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is an all-in-one preassembled intravascular catheter introducer that consists of the following basic introducer components: Introducer Needle, Nitinol Guidewire, Dilator and a peelable Sheath Introducer. It is intended to provide the clinician with a safe, simple and accelerated approach, using the Accelerated Seldinger Technique, to place an in-dwelling intravascular catheter through the skin into the circulatory system. The peelable Sheath Introducer allows for the placement of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and midline catheters. The device includes a Fast-flash™ feature that provides the clinician with feedback that the introducer needle is in the intraluminal position within the blood vessel. The device also incorporates a safety mechanism to guard against accidental needle stick.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and functional aspects of a physical introducer device, with no mention of AI/ML components or data processing.

No.
The device is used to facilitate the placement of a catheter, which is a therapeutic device, but the introducer itself does not directly provide therapy. It is an accessory to a therapeutic procedure.

No
The device is used to facilitate the placing of an intravascular catheter, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its function is to assist in the insertion of another medical device.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Introducer Needle, Nitinol Guidewire, Dilator, peelable Sheath Introducer) and describes bench testing related to the physical properties and function of these components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the placing of an intravascular catheter through the skin into the circulatory system." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details components used for insertion into the body (needle, guidewire, dilator, sheath introducer). It focuses on the mechanics of the insertion process and safety features related to that process.
  • 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 diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a tool for a medical procedure, not a diagnostic test.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Design verification testing was conducted to demonstrate that the performance characteristics of the modified PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer are equivalent to the predicate device and satisfy the requirements of the product design specification for its intended use. This testing included the following in vitro bench testing:

  • Dilator Distal/tip columnar strength
  • Dilator Tensile strength of union (tube to hub)
  • Sheath Introducer Distal/tip columnar strength
  • Sheath Introducer -- Tensile strength of union (tube to hub)
  • System insertability
  • System Intraluminal visual indicators
  • System Fast-flash function and timing
  • Shelf life (accelerated aging) to labeled expiration date
    The results of testing demonstrate that the PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, function, and indications for use.

11.3 IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICATE DEVICE

The predicate device is the PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer that was cleared for commercial distribution under 510(k) K093022.

11.4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is an all-in-one preassembled intravascular catheter introducer that consists of the following basic introducer components: Introducer Needle, Nitinol Guidewire, Dilator and a peelable Sheath Introducer. It is intended to provide the clinician with a safe, simple and accelerated approach, using the Accelerated Seldinger Technique, to place an in-dwelling intravascular catheter through the skin into the circulatory system.

intraluminal position within the blood vessel. The device also incorporates a safety mechanism to guard against accidental needle stick.

11.5 INDICATIONS FOR USE

The PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is used to facilitate the placing of an intravascular catheter through the skin into the circulatory system.

11.6 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The proposed modified device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device in terms of components, materials, chemical composition, and design. The only changes to the device are in the path of blood flow through the device to implement the Fastflash™ feature of the device, and the addition of a 5 Fr model. In the predicate device the blood flowed through windows in the Needle and the Dilator and was observed between the Dilator and the Sheath Introducer. In the modified device the blood flows through a window in the Needle and is observed between the Needle and the Dilator. Performance testing has been conducted to verify that the visual indicators and timing of the blood flow is equivalent or superior to the predicate device, and that the 5 FT model satisfies performance characteristics required to accommodate a 5 Fr PICC or midline catheter.

11.7 PERFORMANCE TESTING

Design verification testing was conducted to demonstrate that the performance characteristics of the modified PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer are equivalent to the predicate device and satisfy the requirements of the product design specification for its intended use. This testing included the following in vitro bench testing:

  • · Dilator Distal/tip columnar strength
  • · Dilator Tensile strength of union (tube to hub)
  • Sheath Introducer Distal/tip columnar strength
  • · Sheath Introducer -- Tensile strength of union (tube to hub)
  • System insertability
  • System Intraluminal visual indicators
  • System Fast-flash function and timing
  • Shelf life (accelerated aging) to labeled expiration date

11.8 CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM STUDIES

The results of testing demonstrate that the PICC WAND™ Peelable Safety Introducer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, function, and indications for use.
