More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the performance study described is related to mechanical properties (burst pressure) rather than algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is described as an "imaging tool" for "evaluation of human tissue microstructure" and provides "real-time depth visualization." These functions are diagnostic, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device is used "in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure," which indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: the Nvision VLE™ Console, NVISion VLE™ Catheter, and the Nvision VLE™ Inflation Accessory Kit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is described as "an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure by providing two-dimensional, crosssectional, real-time depth visualization." This describes an imaging system used in vivo (within the living body) to visualize tissue structure.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Device Description: The device includes a "Catheter" and an "Inflation Accessory Kit," which are components typically used for in vivo procedures to access and image internal tissues.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique used to obtain cross-sectional images of biological tissues in vivo.

The description clearly points to a device used for direct imaging of tissue within the body, which is not the function of an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

Burst pressure testing of the balloons as manufactured was performed. Samples from two balloon manufacturing lots were characterized and the burst pressure performed.
The results of the burst testing when analyzed using a one-sided limit statistical test show that the cleared product has minimum burst pressure of approximately 64.8 on the subject of this application is a labeling change only to increase the inflation pressure from 5 psi to a maximum of 30 psi, greater than 2x less than the minimum burst pressure.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
