Intended Use
The Reprocessed Steerable Introducer is indicated when introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
Device Description
The Reprocessed Steerable Introducer Set consists of a dilator, guidewire, and steerable sheath, which is designed to provide flexible catheter positioning in the cardiac anatomy. The steerable introducer is filtered with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A sideport with three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling and pressure monitoring. A handle equipped with a rotating collar to deflect the tip clockwise less than or equal to 90 degrees. The steerable introducer features distal vent holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize cavitation and a radiopaque tip marker to improve fluoroscopic visualization.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and reprocessing aspects of a steerable introducer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used to introduce catheters for diagnostic or interventional procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is an introducer for various cardiovascular catheters, designed for positioning and facilitating access within the heart, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a dilator, guidewire, steerable sheath, hemostasis valve, sideport, handle, and radiopaque tip marker, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to introduce catheters into the heart for cardiovascular procedures. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it is performed within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The device components (dilator, guidewire, steerable sheath, hemostasis valve, sideport, handle) are all designed for direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activities: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status. IVDs are specifically designed for such in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Reprocessed Steerable Introducer is a medical device used for interventional cardiovascular procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
