The device description and intended use focus on the physical components and function of an implantable port system for vascular access, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device facilitates the administration of therapies but is not a therapeutic device itself, as it does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is an implantable port for administering therapies and withdrawing blood samples, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, implantable medical device (port and catheter system) made of materials like polyoxymethylene, titanium, and silicone. It also includes various physical accessories for insertion. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for in vivo (within the body) use, specifically for accessing the vascular system for infusion and withdrawal of substances. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Device Description: The description details an implantable device (port and catheter) designed to be placed within the patient's body. This is characteristic of a medical device for treatment or management, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, reagents, calibrators, or controls, which are all hallmarks of IVD devices.
Therefore, the Low Profile Port is a medical device for therapeutic and diagnostic access to the vascular system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Low Profile Port is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system. The port system can be used for infusion of medications, IV fluids, parenteral nutrition solutions, blood products and for the withdrawal of blood samples.
When used with a power injectable needle, the Low Profile Port is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 3 ml/sec with a 19G or 20G non-coring power injectable needle or 2 ml/sec with a 22G non-coring power injectable needle.

Device Description
The Low Profile Port is an implantable device designed to provide repeated access to the vascular system without the trauma associated with multiple vena puncture. The system consists of a self-sealing injection port and a delivery catheter for the receipt and delivery of medications to the selected body site.
The Low Profile Port has a polyoxymethylene body, with or without a titanium insert and a silicone septum.
The base of the port has the letters "CT" to signify that it can be used for power injection on contrast agents. These letters can be visualized through a Scout CT. The lot number is laser etched into the base of the port. The port can be anchored with sutures in the port pocket for secure seating. The suture holes may contain clear silicone to prevent tissue in growth to the suture holes.
The Low Profile Port is offered with the polyurethane catheter either pre-attached by the manufacturer or attachable for application by the inserting physician. The catheter lock provides securement of the catheter to the port. Introduction of solution into the implanted port and catheter system is through a non-coring needle.
Power injection of contrast media, can be safely administered with a 19 or 20 gauge power injectable infusion non-corning needle at a maximum recommended infusion rate of 3ml/sec or a 22 gauge power injectable non-coring needle at a maximum recommended infusion rate of 2 ml/sec. Maximum pressure should not exceed 300 psi.
The Low Profile Port is packaged with the necessary accessories to facilitate catheter insertion.
The port and catheter uses the same components and are manufactured and sterilized at the same manufacturing and sterilization facilities as the predicate device cleared under K072481. The power injection capability is comparable to the currently marketed Jet Port Plus HP Catheter cleared under K072481.
Components will be assembled into standard configurations or configurations specified by the customer and packaged.

(a)
Identification. A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.(b)
