No
This device is for attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are procedures, not therapies administered by the device itself.
No
The device is a hemodialysis catheter, used for long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatment procedures rather than diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter and associated accessories, not a software-only product.
Based on the provided information, the Arrow® NextStep™ Antegrade Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into veins, which is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with IVD tests.
Therefore, the Arrow® NextStep™ Antegrade Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
