Intended Use
The Pronto catheter is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Pronto V4 extraction catheter (Pronto) is a dual lumen rapid exchange catheter that has a working length of approximately 138 cm and is packaged with related accessories. The smaller wire lumen of the catheter is able to accommodate guidewires ≤0.014 inches in diameter. The larger extraction lumen allows for the removal of thrombus by use of the included 30 mL syringes through the extension line and stopcock. The catheter has a stiff proximal region and a flexible distal region. The catheter has a rounded distal tip with a protected, sloped opening of the extraction lumen to facilitate advancement of the catheter into the blood vessel and maximize extraction of thrombus through the extraction lumen. The catheter contains a radiopaque marker band located approximately 2 mm from the distal tip. The distal 18 cm of the catheter has a hydrophilic coating to enhance deliverability to the target vasculature. The device has positioning marks located at 95 cm and 105 cm from the distal tip, respectively. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of catheter to the included extension line, stopcock, and 30 mL syringes. A filter basket is included for assistance in filtering the blood removed during the procedure for laboratory analysis of any thrombus.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
Explanation: The device is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is designed for the removal of emboli and thrombi (treatment), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter and associated hardware components (syringes, extension line, stopcock, filter basket). It does not describe a software-only product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical extraction of material from within the body. It includes components for insertion, navigation, and aspiration.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. While a filter basket is included for potential laboratory analysis of the removed thrombus, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test. The diagnostic analysis would be a separate process performed on the collected sample.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device operates within the body for a therapeutic purpose.
