Intended Use
The Steerable Guide Catheter is used for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
Device Description
The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a Steerable Guide Catheter (Guide) and a Dilator provided EO sterile and for single-use only. The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, an atraumatic distal tip, and a Dilator with a single central lumen. The central lumen of the Guide allows for aspiration of air and infusion of fluids such as saline, and serves as a conduit during introduction and or exchange of the Dilator and ancillary devices (e.g. catheters) that have a maximum diameter of .204". The atraumatic distal tip of the Steerable Guide Catheter is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy. The Dilator consists of a radiopaque shaft, an echogenic feature at the distal tip, a hemostasis valve with a flush port and an internal lumen designed to accept ancillary devices that have a maximum diameter of 0.035" (e.g. needles or guidewires). The Steerable Guide Catheter, Dilator and accessories are packaged in a tray enclosed in two sealed Tyvek pouches, and boxed in a cardboard shelf-carton.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and physical properties, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms, data processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML systems.

No
The device is described as a Steerable Guide Catheter used for introducing other cardiovascular catheters, acting as a conduit rather than providing direct therapy.

No

The device is a steerable guide catheter used for introducing cardiovascular catheters into the heart, which is a procedural/interventional use, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a catheter shaft, handle, steering knob, valves, and a dilator, 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 is for introducing cardiovascular catheters into the heart. This is a direct medical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter and dilator used for accessing a specific anatomical location. It does not describe reagents, test strips, or equipment used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is to facilitate the delivery of other catheters. It does not perform any analysis of biological material to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool for accessing the heart for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures performed by other devices, but it is not an IVD itself.
