(89 days)
No
The description focuses on mechanical features like a valve and needle guard for safety and blood exposure reduction. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.
Yes
The device is used to "administer fluids," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is an IV catheter used for administering fluids, monitoring blood pressure, and sampling blood, which are therapeutic and monitoring functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (I.V. Catheter) with mechanical components (valve, needle guard) and does not mention any software functionality.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide access to a vein or artery for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. These are all procedures performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of a catheter designed for insertion into a blood vessel.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
IVD devices are typically used to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue in a laboratory setting to provide diagnostic information. This device is a tool for accessing the circulatory system for various medical procedures performed directly on the patient.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
A properly placed ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter provides access to a vein or artery to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. The needle guard locks over the needle as the catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 18 to 24 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 PSI.

Device Description
The Via Valve™ Safety I.V. Catheter provides access to a vein or artery. The ViaValve™ Safety I. V. Catheter incorporates a valve inside the catheter hub which is designed to reduce blood exposure during initial catheter placement. The valve will open and allow flow once the Luer connector is attached and will remain oven after initial activation. The needle assembly incorporates a needle guard which locks over the needle as the ViaValve™ Safety.I.V. Catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental rieedlesticks.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing and ISO standard compliance testing confirms that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter and the predicate devices have similar performance specifications based on the applicable standards for I.V. catheters and FDA Guidance "Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features" August 9, 2005 for medical devices with sharps injury prevention features.
Simulated clinical use studies were conducted which confirmed that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter could be used safely and effectively with the needle shielded by the needle guard after use.
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and Usability testing was conducted. Analysis of the validation results concluded that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter was adequately safe and effective for its intended users, uses and use environments.

Summary Prepared: December 15, 2011
Product Name:
Trade Name: ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter
Common Name: Peripheral I.V. Catheter
Classification Name: 880.5200 Catheter, Intravascular, Therapeutic, Short-Term Less Than 30 Days
Predicate Device(s):
K990236 (ProtectIV® and ProtectIV® Plus Safety LV. Catheter) - Marketed by Smiths Medical ASD. Inc.
K110443 {BD Insyte=" Autoguard" BC Shielded I.V. Catheter) - Marketed by Becton Dickinson (BD) & Co.
Device Description:
The Via Valve™ Safety I.V. Catheter provides access to a vein or artery. The ViaValve™ Safety I. V. Catheter incorporates a valve inside the catheter hub which is designed to reduce blood exposure during initial catheter placement. The valve will open and allow flow once the Luer connector is attached and will remain oven after initial activation. The needle assembly incorporates a needle guard which locks over the needle as the ViaValve™ Safety.I.V. Catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental rieedlesticks.

The needle guard locks over the needle as the catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 18 to 24 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 PSI.
Technological Characteristics:
The ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter is a peripheral intravascular catheter with a valve and integral needlestick protection. The valve inside the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter hub is designed to reduce blood exposure upon initial catheter placement and is equivalent to the blood control feature of the predicate BD Insyte" Autoguard " BC catheter. The needle guard employs the same technology as the Smiths Medical predicate ProtectIV® Plus Catheter and locks over the needle as the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter is threaded.
Non-Clinical Data:
Bench testing and ISO standard compliance testing confirms that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter and the predicate devices have similar performance specifications based on the applicable standards for I.V. catheters and FDA Guidance "Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features" August 9, 2005 for medical devices with sharps injury prevention features.
Clinical Data:
Simulated clinical use studies were conducted which confirmed that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter could be used safely and effectively with the needle shielded by the needle guard after use.
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) and Usability testing was conducted. Analysis of the validation results concluded that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter was adequately safe and effective for its intended users, uses and use environments.
Conclusion:
The bench testing, standards compliance testing, simulated clinical use, and HFE validation studies conducted demonstrate that the ViaValve™ Safety I.V. Catheter is safe and effective and is Substantially Equivalent to the predicate devices.
