Intended Use
The PAINfusor Catheter, along with related accessory devices, is intended for use to provide continuous or intermittent delivery of medication (such as local anesthetics or narcotics) to or around surgical wound sites for preoperative, perioperative and postoperative pain management. Routes of administration may be intraoperative or percutaneous.
Device Description
The PAINfusor Catheter is a closed tip multi-holed catheter with a fenestrated length that incorporates micro-holes in a helical pattern that allow for homogenous flow of analgesia into a surgical wound. The PAINfusor Catheter is radiopaque and has graduated markings along the length of the catheter for positional reference. It is supplied and packaged as a kit with a peel-away introducer needle, occlusive wound dressing and catheter securement adhesive.

No
The summary describes a passive catheter device for delivering medication and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is intended to deliver medication for pain management, which directly addresses a medical condition (pain) to improve health outcomes.

No

The device is intended for the delivery of medication for pain management, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical catheter and related accessory devices (introducer needle, dressing, adhesive), indicating it is a hardware medical 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 is to deliver medication to surgical wound sites for pain management. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed for delivering fluids, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to administer medication directly to a wound site.

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

Safety and performance of the PAINfusor Catheter have been validated through bench, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, and shelf-life testing. Bench testing confirms that the PAINfusor Catheter can be used according to its intended use and in an equivalent manner to the predicate devices. Testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10555-1:1995 "Sterile, Single Use Intravascular Catheters- Part 1: General Requirements." Flow performance testing confirmed a low rate of flow reduction (
