The description focuses on processing physiological signals (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) using a software-driven system to provide real-time guidance. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets, which are typically associated with AI/ML development and validation. The system appears to rely on established signal processing techniques rather than learning from data.
No
The device is indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheters and confirms catheter tip placement. It does not treat or alleviate a medical condition.
Yes
The device is described as providing "real-time catheter tip location information" and is "indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for central venous catheter tip placement confirmation," which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of both a Console (hardware with integrated software) and a Stylet (hardware with sensors). It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The device description clearly states that the VPS System uses a stylet inserted into the patient's vasculature to detect physiological information (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) directly from the patient. It does not analyze samples of blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids outside the body.
- The intended use is for guiding and positioning a catheter within the patient's body. This is an in-vivo procedure, not an in-vitro test.
The device is a medical device used for guiding a procedure within the patient, not for performing a diagnostic test on a sample.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheters. The Console is intended for use with the stylet supplied by VasoNova. The Vascular Positioning System consists of a Console and associated power supply and cabling and a stylet. The VPS Console, when used with the VPS Stylet, provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information. When the Vascular Positioning System guidance indicator shows a Blue Bullseye, the catheter tip is in the desired location. The Vascular Positioning System is indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for central venous catheter tip placement confirmation in adult patients. NOTE: If a steady blue bull's eye is not obtained, standard hospital practice should be followed to confirm catheter tip location.
Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this technique are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P-wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia and pacemaker-driven rhythm, and in central venous catheterization procedures performed through femoral or saphenous vein access which change the presentation of the P-wave. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous catheter insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.

Device Description
The VPS System consists of a VPS Console with tablet display and a VPS Stylet.
The VPS G4 Console consists of two key integrated software-driven components: a data acquisition module and an embedded computer with processing capabilities. The data acquisition module within the console transmits and receives ultrasound data while receiving electrical signals from the heart through sensors mounted at the tip of the VPS Stylet. Using signals gathered by the data acquisition module, the graphical user interface provides the user with guidance for tip positioning of central venous access devices.
The separately provided VPS Stylet is a polyimide tube containing a Doppler sensor on a coax cable and an intravascular electrocardiogram (ivECG) signal sensing stainless steel wire. The Doppler sensor and the exposed portion of the ivECG are located at the distal end of the stylet and are used to detect and transmit physiological information to the VPS Console for analysis.
The proximal end of the stylet connects to an extension cable that connects to the VPS Console.

| Conclusions: | The intended use, technological characteristics, method of collecting and
interpreting physiological data, and performance of the predicate VasoNova
VPS Console and the VPS G4 Console along with testing to voluntary standards
and applicable FDA guidance documents provide evidence that the subject VPS
G4 console is substantially equivalent to the predicate VPS Console in terms of
safety, efficacy, and performance.
The described physical, software, and hardware modifications are enhancements
to various aspects of the predicate VPS Console. They do not alter the
fundamental scientific technology of the device; they do not alter the method in
which physiological data is collected from the patient; they do not alter the
method in which physiological data is interpreted by the software algorithm to
determine the symbols used to indicate catheter migration through the
vasculature and final tip placement. Any differences between the subject VPS
G4 Console and the predicate VPS Console do not raise new issues of safety or
effectiveness. | | |
