The device is described as an intravascular catheter used for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids and blood. While it facilitates the administration of therapies, the device itself is not a therapeutic agent; it is a tool for diagnostic and administrative purposes.
No
Explanation: The device is a catheter used for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids and blood, which are therapeutic and monitoring functions, not diagnostic. While sampling blood can be used for diagnostic purposes, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic analysis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a catheter, septum, stabilization platform, and needle-shielding mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "inserted into a patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure or administer fluids and blood intravascularly." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for direct patient care and intervention.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter and needle system designed for insertion into a blood vessel.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The description of the Introcan Safety® 3 does not mention any testing or analysis of samples. While it can be used to sample blood, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test on that sample.
Therefore, the Introcan Safety® 3 Closed Intravascular Catheter is a device used for accessing the vascular system for various medical procedures, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Introcan Safety® 3 Closed Intravascular Catheter is inserted into a patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure or administer fluids and blood intravascularly. The 18-22 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors for which the maximum pressure setting is 300 psi with a luer lock connection only.

Device Description
The Introcan Safety® 3 Closed IV Catheter consists of an over-the-needle, peripheral intravascular catheter made of radiopaque polyurethane, an integrated bidirectional septum, a stabilization platform, and a passive safety needle-shielding mechanism.
The Introcan Safety® 3 will be offered in the following gauge sizes and lengths:
18ga x 1-3/4" (45mm)
18ga x 1-1/4" (32 mm)
20ga x 1-1/4" (32mm)
20ga x 1" (25mm)
22ga x 1" (25mm)
24ga x ¾" (19mm)
Introcan Safety® 3 design is described as a closed IV catheter since it protects clinicians and patients from blood exposure. Since the needle is withdrawn through a septum that seals after the needle has been removed, blood is thus contained within the Introcan Safety® 3 device. The pressure exerted on the needle as it passes through the septum wipes blood from the needle further reducing potential blood exposure.
The Introcan Safety® 3 catheter has an integrated stabilization platform is designed to improve catheter stability while minimizing catheter movement within the vessel.
The passive safety needle-shielding mechanism of the Introcan Safety® 3 is located inside the catheter hub. Upon withdrawal of the needle, the safety shield engages as the needle passes through the catheter hub and deploys automatically to shield the needle tip. The safety shield protects during disposal, aiding in the prevention of needlestick injuries. Once the safety shield engages and shields the needle tip, the user is unable to re-insert the needle which aids in the prevention of catheter shearing.

blood, monitor blood pressure or administer fluids and blood intravascularly, the same passive safety needle-shielding feature is used to aid in the prevention of needlestick injuries, and some gauge sizes can be used with power injectors up to 300 psi.
Introcan Safety® 3 is similar to the Introcan Safety® , containing the same design elements, similar gravity flow rates, and intended uses with the only feature added is a valve that controls the flow of blood within the device until the catheter is attached to a luer compatible associated device such as an IV set, IV extension set, syringe, or filter which will engage the valve and allow for flow of fluid through the catheter.
Introcan Safety® 3 has a similar intended use to BD's Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System in that they both act as an intravascular catheter that is inserted into a patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure or administer fluids and blood intravascularly, they both contain a needleshielding feature to aid in the prevention of needlestick injuries, blood is contained within the device to prevent blood exposure, both designs include a stabilization platform to reduce catheter movement within the vessel, they may both be used in any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of procedure, and similar gauge sizes are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum 300 psi and at a defined flow rate.
The Introcan Safety® 3 was developed to achieve a design that prevents the exposure of blood which matches the intended use of BD's Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System device. Each of the other intended uses for the Nexiva® are the same as the Introcan Safety® 3.
CONCLUSION:
Testing was conducted to demonstrate the performance of the Introcan Safety® 3 Closed IV Catheter and substantial equivalence with the predicate devices: B. Braun Medical Inc.'s Introcan Safety® and BD's Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System Closed IV Catheter System. The functional performance testing conducted with the proposed device demonstrates that the Introcan Safety® 3 Closed IV Catheter is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
