Intended Use
The VTS1000 is a non-invasive electronic device to aid in the visualization of superficial vasculature. It is indicated for use during procedures requiring vascular or peripheral vessel access.
Device Description
The VueTek Scientific™ VTS1000 is a near-infrared (NIR) emitter, video acquisition, and head mounted display (HMD) device that affords viewing of superficial, and its nead invanced and, by differentiating it with higher contrast from surrounding tissue. Visualization of vascular structures is provided by a portable headset display system which supplements normal line of sight viewing during vascular access procedures. The VTS1000 device does not replace the accepted conventional vascular identification and confirmation methods used by qualified professionals.

No
The description focuses on near-infrared imaging and display technology for visualization, with no mention of AI or ML for image processing or analysis.

No
The device aids in visualization, which is a diagnostic or assistive function, not a therapeutic one that treats or cures a condition.

No
Explanation: The device aids in visualization but explicitly states it "does not replace the accepted conventional vascular identification and confirmation methods," indicating it's a visualization aid, not a standalone diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "near-infrared (NIR) emitter, video acquisition, and head mounted display (HMD) device," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the VTS1000 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • VTS1000 Function: The VTS1000 is a non-invasive device that uses near-infrared light to visualize superficial vasculature on the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the visualization of superficial vasculature during procedures requiring vascular or peripheral vessel access. This is a direct visualization tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the VTS1000 falls under the category of a medical device used for visualization and procedural aid, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical, non-clinical, and independent testing performance data were submitted that demonstrated that the VTS1000 met design requirements and is safe and effective for its intended use. The VTS1000 conforms to IEC60601-01, IEC60601-1-2, CIE-S009/IEC-62471, ANSI IESNA RP 27.1, 27.2 and 27.3.

Clinical study results involving subjects with ages from 65 years of age of varving genders, ethnicity, weight, and skin tone, demonstrated that the VTS1000 effectively provided and enhanced visualization of superficial, subcutaneous vascular structures when compared to the naked eye. The device was additionally found to be safe, portable, flexible, and provided normal line-of-sight viewing during use.

The performance data demonstrated that the VTS1000 met the established user and design requirements and performs safely and effectively as designed, for its intended use.
