Intended Use
The EndoClamp Aortic Catheter is indicated for use in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. The EndoClamp Aortic Catheter occludes and vents the ascending aorta when the balloon is inflated. The device's central lumen allows delivery of cardioplegia to arrest the heart. The pressure lumen allows monitoring of the aortic root pressure.
Device Description
The EndoClamp aortic catheter is a 10.5 Fr, wire-reinforced, three-lumen catheter with an elastomeric balloon near its tip for occluding the ascending aorta in order to partition the aortic root from arterial circulation. The balloon expands to occlude a range of aorta sizes. The large central lumen of the catheter serves two functions: delivery of cardioplegic solution to the aortic root and venting of fluid and air from the aortic root. The two remaining lumens serve as conduits for balloon inflation and aortic root pressure monitoring. The shaft is marked to indicate the insertion depth. A Clamp-Lock™ device, provided on the shaft, allows the catheter to be locked in position. A colorcoded 3-way stopcock is attached to each lumen for fluid injection, balloon inflation and aortic root pressure monitoring. A rotating hemostasis valve (RHV) is attached to the large central lumen for guidewire insertion on the 100 cm catheter. The Y-connector with three tubing clamps, which enables alternation between cardioplegic solution delivery and aortic root venting, is attached to the central lumen. A vacuum relief valve is included for aortic root venting. Pressure monitoring lines are attached to the balloon inflation lumen and to the aortic root pressure monitoring lumen. Two colorcoded 35 mL syringes are included for contrast injection and balloon inflation. A guidewire is provided with the 100 cm EndoClamp catheter. The devices are provided sterile and non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and functional aspects of a catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for use in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, occludes and vents the ascending aorta, and allows delivery of cardioplegia to arrest the heart, all of which are direct interventions for therapy.

No

The device is used to occlude the ascending aorta, deliver cardioplegia, and monitor aortic root pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass. While it monitors a physiological parameter (pressure), its primary functions are therapeutic (occlusion, drug delivery) rather than diagnostic analysis for disease identification or monitoring.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with multiple lumens, a balloon, a guidewire, syringes, and other hardware components. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The EndoClamp Aortic Catheter is a surgical device used inside the body (in vivo) during cardiopulmonary bypass. Its function is to physically occlude and vent the aorta and deliver cardioplegia. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, the EndoClamp Aortic Catheter is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
