The summary describes a purely mechanical device (a filter) and its delivery system. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the "prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism," which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is a medical implant (vena cava filter) used for the prevention of pulmonary embolism, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device consisting of a self-expanding Nitinol filter and a disposable catheter, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism by being percutaneously placed in the inferior vena cava. This is a therapeutic and interventional procedure performed within the body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a self-expanding Nitinol filter delivered via a catheter. This is a physical implant designed to filter blood flow within a blood vessel.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside of the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
Therefore, the Crux VCF System is a medical device used for an interventional procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Crux VCF System is an endovascular medical device used in the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). The system consists of a self-expanding Nitinol filter delivered from a single-use, disposable 9Fr catheter, which can be used percutaneously to deploy the filter. The filter wireforms are composed of two opposing self-expanding Nitinol spiral elements connected at each end with Nitinol crimps. One end of each wireform is formed into a sinusoidal shaped retrieval tail to aid in retrieval of the filter using a snare. Each retrieval tail has an atraumatic plasma ball and a radiopaque tantalum marker band to facilitate visualization. There are five tissue anchors attached to the wireforms elements with Nitinol tubing. The filter is designed to treat IVC diameters of 17 to 28mm.
The Delivery Catheter for the Crux VCF is a disposable, 9Fr introducer-sheath-compatible, single-use Delivery Catheter. The filter is provided loaded in the Crux VCF System for jugular or femoral approach delivery. The Delivery Catheter is an over-the-wire system, 0.035" guidewire-compatible, and consists of a polycarbonate inner shaft and a nylon outer shaft. The polyimide inner shaft consists of the guidewire lumen and a flexible, radiopaque tracking tip and a radiopaque marker band. The outer shaft has a radiopaque marker band, a Touhy-Borst hemostasis valve and a one-way check-valve for flushing.
The filter can be retrieved with commercially available snares and sheaths via either the jugular or femoral approach.

Comparison to Predicate Device
Both the updated Crux VCF System and predicate device share similar designs, mode of operation and materials. The filters are the same in the subject and predicate devices. Both filters are delivered to the vena cava via transcatheter approach. When deployed, the nitinol material utilized in both the predicate and subject devices allows for self-centering of the filters are designed with anchors to secure the filter to vessel wall and both filters can be safely retrieved via catheterization.
The primary differences between the predicate and subject devices are the design updates for the Delivery Catheter in the subject device. The design updates include a smoother tracking tip, increased radiopacity of tracking tip, an additional radiopaque marker, and an updated manufacturing process for tubing. Based on the design verification results, the updates in Delivery Catheter do not have an adverse impact on the safety and effectiveness of the VCF when compared to the predicate device.
As demonstrated in the results of the bench testing, these differences in design do not adversely affect the performance when compared to the predicate device and the devices are substantially equivalent.
Other areas of substantial equivalence with predicate device:
