No
The summary describes a device that uses physiological signals (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) and intravascular ultrasound for catheter guidance and positioning, but it does not mention the use of AI or ML for analysis or interpretation of these signals. The system provides a visual indicator ("Blue Bullseye") based on the physiological information, but this appears to be a direct interpretation of the signals rather than an AI/ML-driven analysis.
No.
The device is indicated for providing temporary or long-term access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring, and for guiding catheter placement, which are not therapeutic uses.
Yes
The device uses "intravascular ultrasound" and "intravascular electrocardiogram (ivECG)" to detect and transmit physiological information, and provides "real-time catheter tip information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information" to guide catheter placement. This collection and analysis of physiological data for guiding a medical procedure aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a catheter, stylet with sensors (Doppler and ivECG), and a console. While software is involved in analyzing the physiological information, the device is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for accessing the central venous system for therapeutic purposes (intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection of contrast media, central venous pressure monitoring) and for guiding catheter placement using physiological signals. None of these activities involve testing samples in vitro (outside of the body) to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter and a stylet that are used in vivo (within the body) for placement and monitoring.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. The physiological information used by the VPS System (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) is gathered in vivo from the patient.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Chlorageard Technology treament on the cather of the cather fluid pathway of the cather ins been shown to be effective in reducing microbial colonization on cather surfaces. Antimicrobial and antitrombial and antithrombogenic effectiveness were evaluated using in viro test methods and no correlation between these est methods and clinical outcome has currently been ascerained. It is not intended to be used for the treatment of existing intections or vein thrombosis.
The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidening for central venous cathers. The Stylet provides stiffiess for use in placement of the catherer, intravascular conding and intravascular ultrasond for cathere guiding and positioning. The VPS Stylet, when used with the VPS Console, provides real-time cather in lormation by using the patient's physiological (cardias electrical activity and blood flow) information. When the VPS System guidance indicator shows a Blue Dullseye, the catheter tip is in the desired location.
The VPS System is indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for contraction of in adult patients when a steady Blue Bullsey. If a stedy Blue Bullseye is not oblained, standard hospital practice should be followed to confirm catheter tip location.

Device Description
The CG+ Arrow PICC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet has the following characteristics:
- 6 Fr, 3-Lumen, 40-55 cm pressure injectable, antimicrobial and antithrombogenic . catheter preloaded with VPS Stylet
The CG+ Arrow PICC is pre-loaded with the Arrow VPS Stylet and will be provided in sterile kit configurations.
The Arrow CG+ PICC is a short-term or long-term, single use catheter designed to provide access to the central venous system. It consists of a non-tapered, radiopaque polyurethane extruded catheter body with a softer, contoured Blue Flex Tip. The catheter can be used for the injection of contrast media. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 6 mL/sec. The external catheter body and the internal fluid path of the device are treated with Chlorhexidine based coating technology. Studies have shown the technology to possess both antimicrobial and antithrombogenic properties.
The Arrow 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 contains a connector to the VPS Console or to an extension cable that in turn connects to the VPS Console. The stylet was designed to be inserted and removed from any catheter with a luminal diameter of at least 0.021 inch.
The number of lumens has increased from 2 to 3 and as a result the subject device is French size has increased from 5.5 to 6 French. In order to identify the third lumen, an additional colorant and ink were used. Additionally, the internal lumen configuration of the predicate (K123759) has changed from a "Round-Crescent" to a "Round-Split-Crescent". The "Round-Split-Crescent" internal lumen design modification resulted in an increased flowrate in the distal lumen from a maximum of 5 ml/sec. (The proximal and medial lumen are not pressure injectable on the subject device.) The increased surface area on the subject device's 6 French 3-L catheter design resulted in a 3.8 mg increase in the maximum allowable chlorhexidine content as compared to the predicate device (the content per surface area remains unchanged).

The Arrow 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 contains a connector to the VPS Console or to an extension cable that in turn connects to the VPS Console. The stylet was designed to be inserted and removed from any catheter with a luminal diameter of at least 0.021 inch.
The number of lumens has increased from 2 to 3 and as a result the subject device is French size has increased from 5.5 to 6 French. In order to identify the third lumen, an additional colorant and ink were used. Additionally, the internal lumen configuration of the predicate (K123759) has changed from a "Round-Crescent" to a "Round-Split-Crescent". The "Round-Split-Crescent" internal lumen design modification resulted in an increased flowrate in the distal lumen from a maximum of 5 ml/sec. (The proximal and medial lumen are not pressure injectable on the subject device.) The increased surface area on the subject device's 6 French 3-L catheter design resulted in a 3.8 mg increase in the maximum allowable chlorhexidine content as compared to the predicate device (the content per surface area remains unchanged).
Intended Use
A PICC permits venous access to the central circulation through a peripheral vein.
The intended use of the VPS Stylet and Console (VPS System) is to quickly and accurately guide market available central catheters to the desired location which is the lower third of the SVC or at the cavo-atrial junction.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The subject CG+ Arrow PICC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet is substantially equivalent to the predicate CG+ Arrow PICC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet (K123759) in terms of indications for use, manufacturing process, conditions and aids, functional performance, safety, efficacy, fundamental scientific technology and materials of construction. There is no change to the Arrow VPS Stylet from the predicate device. The design of the predicate CG+ Arrow PICC has been modified to create the subject device. The number of lumens has increased from 2 to 3 and as a result the subject device's French size has increased from 5.5 to 6 French. In order to identify the third lumen, an additional colorant and ink were used. Additionally, the internal lumen configuration of the predicate (K123759) has changed from a "Round-Crescent" to a "Round-Split-Crescent". The "Round-Split-Crescent" internal lumen design modification resulted in an increased flowrate in the distal lumen from a maximum of 5 ml/sec. (The proximal and medial lumen are not pressure injectable on the subject device.) The increased surface area on the subject device's 6 French 3-L catheter design resulted in a 3.8 mg increase in the maximum allowable chlorhexidine content as compared to the predicate device (the content per surface area remains unchanged). Biocompatibility (toxicity, etc.) testing on the final finished device verified that the increase in maximum allowable chlorhexidine content of 3.8 mg/catheter did not present any new safety or efficacy concerns. The chlorhexidine's content per
2
surface area remains the same: therefore, efficacy and analytical release profile of the chlorhexidine were shown to be unaffected. Efficacy testing verified efficacy is unaffected.
The antimicrobial/antithrombogenic chlorhexidine coating's identity, formulation, concentration (content per surface area), manufacturing processes, conditions and aids, method of application to the device and mechanism by which the agent is released from the device is the same as the predicate CG+ Arrow PICC powered by Arrow VPS (K123759).
No changes were made to the VPS Stylet.
Nonclinical Testing
The following testing was performed on the 6 French CG+ Arrow PICC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet:
Chlorhexidine coating testing: chlorhexidine content testing, chlorhexidine coating efficacy, chlorhexidine release rate (elution), mechanical hemolvsis, solvent residual and chemical degradation.
Catheter performance testing: tensile, catheter body kink, flow rate, static burst pressure, air and liquid leakage. flex cycling, catheter whip, catheter tip compression stiffness, luer hub testing, collapse resistance and central venous pressure monitoring.
Combined device performance testing: stylet tensile, simulated use insertion/removal test and force to remove stylet from catheter. After devices completed the simulated use insertion/removal test, the following tests were done to verify there was no damage to the catheter: catheter air and liquid leakage. Stylet electrical testing was also done post simulated use insertion/removal testing to verify stylet function.
Conclusions
The predicate and the subject devices have the same indications for use, intended use, materials, chlorhexidine formulation, concentration (content per surface area), method of application and mechanism of release and are manufactured using the same processes, conditions and aids. The results of the risk assessment and resultant testing performed have demonstrated that the proposed design and specification changes do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and therefore the subject device is considered substantially equivalent to the cited predicate device.
