Intended Use
The BRKTM Transseptal Needle is used to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure to gain left heart access.
Device Description
The St. Jude Medical BRKTM Transseptal Needle consists of a luminal stainless steel needle and solid stainless steel stylet. The distal section of the needle is curved to facilitate positioning within the heart when used with a St. Jude Medical Transseptal Introducer set. Within this curved section, there is an abrupt step down in the outer diameter of the needle to mate with the internal diameter of the dilator of the St. Jude Medical Transseptal Introducer set. The distal tip of the needle is beveled to facilitate the puncture process. The proximal end of the needle is configured with a pointer flange (indicating distal curve orientation) and is fitted with a 2-way stopcock to provide needle lumen access for aspiration, fluid injection/infusion, blood sampling, pressure monitoring, and stylet and/or guidewire insertion. The stylet is straight and isodiametric throughout its length. The proximal end of the stylet is fitted with a curved clip to lock onto the proximal needle hub when inserted into the needle lumen. The stylet is designed to facilitate needle advancement within the dilator.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely mechanical needle and stylet for a transseptal procedure, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a needle used for puncturing the septum to gain access. It's an access tool, not something that directly treats a condition or restores health.

No

The device description indicates that the BRKTM Transseptal Needle is used for puncturing the interatrial septum and gaining left heart access through a transseptal catheterization procedure. While it allows for "aspiration, fluid injection/infusion, blood sampling, pressure monitoring", these are functions related to accessing and manipulating the heart, not primarily for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, hardware-based medical device (stainless steel needle and stylet) used for a surgical procedure. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The BRKTM Transseptal Needle is a surgical instrument used inside the body (in vivo) to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure. It is a tool for accessing a specific anatomical location, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for a surgical procedure to gain left heart access. There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information based on testing biological material.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BRKTM Transseptal Needle is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
