Intended Use
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluid intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. The needle shaft cover and tip shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy. The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.
Device Description
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter is manually operated and contains a passive safety feature that automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter. The devices consist of catheter assembly (catheter, caulking pin and catheter hub containing valve, seal component and plug), needle assembly (needle, needle housing, transparent flash chamber with filter and needle protector) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover consisting of inner cylinder, outer cylinder, junction cylinder). The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter has a valve and a seal component inside the catheter hub to minimize the possibility of blood leakage at catheter hub after needle removal. The catheter hub is also provided with a plug inside which penetrates the valve to create a fluid path when a connector is inserted in the catheter hub. The fluid path is permanently opened once a secure luer connection is made. The devices are an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of a slender, flexible, radio-opaque plastic with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. Whole length cannula including the sharp end of the inner needle is covered by the needle shielding mechanism as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. The grooved cannula which allows the clinician to visualize flashback detection through the groove indicating that there is confirmation of vessel entry is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield® PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH® I.V. Catheter (K991406). The stainless steel cannula is placed in the catheter to maintain rigidity and is withdrawn after the catheter is placed in the vascular system. The catheter that is advanced into the vessel is made of polyurethane which is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield®-PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH® I.V. Catheter (K991406).
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and passive safety features, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to administer fluid intravenously and monitor blood pressure, which are therapeutic functions aimed at treating or managing a patient's condition.

No

The device is an I.V. catheter used for administering fluids, withdrawing blood samples, or monitoring blood pressure. It is not used for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter assembly, needle assembly, and a passive needle-shielding mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided text, the SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for insertion into the patient's vascular system for purposes like withdrawing blood samples, administering fluids, or monitoring blood pressure. These are direct interactions with the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for insertion into a blood vessel. It focuses on features related to insertion, fluid flow, and safety mechanisms for preventing needle sticks.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter does not mention any such in vitro examination or analysis of specimens. While it can be used to withdraw blood samples, the device itself is not performing any diagnostic test on that sample.

Therefore, the SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter is a medical device used for accessing the vascular system, not an IVD.

§ 880.5200 Intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)
