The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a catheter for regional anesthesia, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No.
The device is a catheter used for the administration of local anesthetics, not a therapeutic device itself. Its primary function is to deliver medication to a specific site for pain control.
No
The device is a regional anesthesia catheter used for administering local anesthetics for pain control, not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of nylon tubing, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- PeriFuse™ Catheter Function: The PeriFuse™ Catheter is a medical device used for the delivery of local anesthetics for pain control during surgical procedures. It is inserted into the body to administer medication, not to analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intermittent administration of local anesthetics" for pain control. This is a therapeutic/procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
Therefore, the PeriFuse™ regional anesthesia Catheter falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PeriFuse™ regional anesthesia Catheter is indicated for use during procedures where intermittent administration of local anesthetics is indicated for control of operative, postoperative, acute or chronic pain for peripheral nerve block procedures. The duration of use should not exceed 72 hours.

Device Description
The PeriFuse™ Catheter is an echogenic regional anesthesia catheter intended to enhance visibility of the catheter under ultrasound guidance. The PeriFuse™ Catheter is made of flexible nylon tubing and comes in two versions. One version is a closed end with 3 lateral eyes. The second version is an open end with a finished tip. The catheters are available as 21G (O.D. 0.83mm nominal/I.D. 0.41mm nominal) and have a nominal length of 944mm. They will be provided as sterile, single use, disposable devices.
The PeriFuse™ Catheter tip is marked for ease of identification and to ensure complete catheter removal. The catheter is extruded using a patented Smiths Medical technology which leaves a surface finish that is slightly textured on both the inner diameter and outer diameter.
The PeriFuse™ Catheter may be packaged in either a catheter kit or may be included in Smiths Medical regional anesthesia trays (K965017).

The PeriFuse™ Catheter may be packaged in either a catheter kit or may be included in Smiths Medical regional anesthesia trays (K965017).
Indications for Use:
The PeriFuse™ regional anesthesia Catheter is indicated for use during procedures where intermittent administration of local anesthetics is indicated for control of operative, postoperative, acute or chronic pain for peripheral nerve block procedures. The duration of use should not exceed 72 hours.
Technological Characteristics:
- The proposed device and the predicate devices are nylon catheters for regional . anesthesia use for peripheral nerve blocks.
- . Both the proposed and predicate devices are 21G catheters,
- Both the proposed and predicate catheters are closed end 3 eye design. ●
- Both the proposed and secondary predicates are open ended, no eye design, .
- The proposed PeriFuse™ Catheters are available in a styleted version the same as the . secondary predicate catheters.
- The proposed PeriFuse™ Catheter incorporates a bubbling technology to enable the . catheter to be visible under ultrasound guidance. The reference devices, the Wallace (SureView™) Embryo Replacement Catheters & Trial Transfer Catheters, are provided to show the acceptable use of this technology in medical devices. This patented technology is used in the cleared Wallace (SureView™M) Embryo Replacement Catheters to enable the physician to guide the catheter into the proper position in the uterus to properly place the viable embryo into position during reproductive procedures.
