Intended Use
The Barricade Coil System is intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Barricade Coil System is also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Barricade Embolization Coil System (BCS) is a series specialized coils that are inserted into the vasculature under angiographic visualization to embolize intracranial aneurysms and other vascular anomalies. The system consists of an embolization coil implant comprised of platinum/tungsten, affixed to a delivery pusher with an introducer sheath to facilitate insertion into the hub of a microcatheter. The system is available in various shapes, lengths and sizes. The devices are to be placed into aneurysms to create blood stasis, reducing flow into the aneurysm and thrombosing the aneurysm. Upon positioning coils into the aneurysm, the coils are electrolytically detached from the delivery pusher in serial manner until the aneurysm is occluded.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (embolization coils) and its delivery system. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Not Found" entries for mentions of AI/ML and descriptions of training/test sets further support this conclusion.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for endovascular embolization and vascular occlusion to treat neurovascular abnormalities, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description clearly states that the Barricade Coil System is a series of specialized coils inserted into the vasculature to embolize intracranial aneurysms and other vascular anomalies. This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of physical components like specialized coils made of platinum/tungsten, a delivery pusher, and an introducer sheath, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Barricade Coil System is a medical device that is implanted into the body to physically block blood flow in blood vessels. It is used for embolization, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "endovascular embolization" and "vascular occlusion," which are interventional procedures performed within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable coil and its delivery system, not a test kit or analytical instrument for analyzing biological samples.
  • Input: The input is "angiographic visualization," which is an imaging technique used to guide the placement of the device within the body, not a biological sample.

Therefore, the Barricade Coil System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).
