Intended Use
Terumo Support Catheters are intended to guide and support a guidewire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline or diagnostic contrast agents.
Device Description
The Terumo Support Catheter is a three-layer construction comprised of a stainless steel braid sandwiched between two layers of polyester elastomer. The polyester elastomer contains tungsten for visibility and contrast under fluoroscopy in the distal portion of the catheter. The most distal tip contains no braid and the tip is available in either straight or curved shapes. The device has three radiopaque markers, the distal one is embedded in the tip wall while the more proximal two are swaged to the outer surface of the catheter. There is a hydrophilic coating on the distal portion of the catheter to enhance lubricity.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a support catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is intended to guide and support a guidewire, allow for wire exchanges, and provide a conduit for delivery of saline or diagnostic contrast agents, which are procedural support functions rather than therapeutic actions.

No

The device is a support catheter used to guide and support a guidewire, allow for wire exchanges, and deliver saline or contrast agents. While it can be used in "diagnostic procedures," its primary function is not to diagnose a condition itself, but rather to facilitate other diagnostic or interventional actions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with material composition, construction, and physical performance testing, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "guide and support a guidewire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline or diagnostic contrast agents." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for interventional or diagnostic procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a catheter designed for insertion into the vasculature.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Vasculature," which is within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform tests on samples in vitro.

The device is an interventional or diagnostic catheter used within the body, not an IVD.

The following performance tests were conducted on these catheters. Testing was performed on nonaged and aged Terumo Support Catheters vs the Spectranetics QUICK CROSS CATHETERS and the Spectranetics QUICK CROSS EXTREME SUPPORT CATHETERS.

  • Force at break (shaft, hub, tip) 1)
  • Freedom from leakage 2)
  • Radio detectability 3)
  • Catheter burst/leakage pressure 4)
  • Breakage strength of catheter shaft 5)
  • Bending stiffness of catheter shaft 6)
  • Flexibility/Kink strength of catheter shaft 7)
  • Torque transmission property 8)
  • Interior sliding characteristics 9)
  • Exterior sliding characteristics 10)
  • Wire-support characteristics 11)

SECTION II. 510(K) SUMMARY

Device Name A.

Proprietary Name:Terumo Support Catheter
Classification Name:Percutaneous catheter
Common Name:Percutaneous catheter

Intended Use B.

Terumo Support Catheters are intended to guide and support a guidewire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline or diagnostic contrast agents.

C. Device Description

The Terumo Support Catheter is a three-layer construction comprised of a stainless steel braid sandwiched between two layers of polyester elastomer. The polyester elastomer contains tungsten for visibility and contrast under fluoroscopy in the distal portion of the catheter. The most distal tip contains no braid and the tip is available in either straight or curved shapes. The device has three radiopaque markers, the distal one is embedded in the tip wall while the more proximal two are swaged to the outer surface of the catheter. There is a hydrophilic coating on the distal portion of the catheter to enhance lubricity.

Principle Of Operation / Technology D.

The Terumo Support Catheter is operated manually or by a manual process.

During an interventional or diagnostic procedure, the physician will follow the standard procedure of placing a guide wire and introducer within a vessel. Then a guiding catheter or sheath would be advanced over the guide wire. Next, the Terumo Support Catheter would be inserted over the guide wire and through the hemostasis valve of the guiding catheter or sheath. The guide wire and Terumo Support Catheter would then be advanced to the target vessel. The Terumo Support Catheter can then be used for injection of contrast media or for support and exchange of guide wires.
