The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its mechanical properties and performance. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are therapeutic procedures.
No
The device description indicates that the Medcomp Split Cath® Rg is a catheter used for vascular access in hemodialysis and apheresis, and it provides arterial/venous access lumens. It does not mention any function for detecting, assessing, or monitoring diseases or conditions.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of polyurethane with lumens, extension lines, and a hub, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Medcomp Split Cath® Rg is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "Long-Term vascular access for Hemodialysis and Apheresis in the adult patient." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into veins for blood access. This is consistent with a medical device used for treatment or procedures, not for laboratory testing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze blood, urine, or other biological samples. There are no reagents, test strips, or analytical components described.
Therefore, the Medcomp Split Cath® Rg is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Split Cath® Rg Long Term Catheter provides two dedicated (arterial/venous) access lumens. Each lumen is connected through an extension line with female luer connectors. The transition between lumen and extension is housed within a molded hub. To prevent recirculation, the venous end of the lumen is approximately 1.0" longer than the arterial. The catheter is capable of providing consistent flows up to 400ml/min.
The catheter lumen is composed of a soft, thermo-sensitive, polyurethane material that is rigid upon insertion and once it reaches body temperature becomes soft to reduce vessel trauma.
The dialysis extensions are color coded with a white luer, red sleeve, and red clamp for the arterial lumen. The easy identification of the venous lumen, there is a white luer, blue sleeve, and blue clamp.
The proposed device is 14 French in size and comes in the following lumen lengths: 24.28. 32, 36, and 40cm. The catheter is packaged in separate components as they are assembled during retrograde insertion. After the lumen is inserted, it is attached to the Attachable Hub and Extension Assembly using the Lumen Clamp.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).

In addition to the above testing, mechanical hemolysis testing was performed on the proposed device due to the change in blood flow path when compared to the predicate device. Furthermore, the proposed device was evaluated for MRI safety due to the presence of the stainless steel cannula.
Technological Characteristics:
The proposed device is intended for retrograde insertion whereas the predicate device is intended for antegrade insertion. To facilitate this retrograde insertion. the proposed device is packaged in a disassembled form to allow for insertion personnel to assemble the hub assembly once the lumen has been inserted and tunneled back to the insertion site.
In order to facilitate proper connection between the lumen and hub assembly. the hub assembly is outfitted with a stainless steel cannula that is not present in the predicate device. The sure fit of this cannula to lumen, followed by application of the compression ring and hub clamps, is essential to device integrity following the insertion and assembly procedure.
Once inserted and assembled, the principles of operation with regard to hemodialysis are the same as the predicate devices. There are no new questions raised regarding the safety or effectiveness of the device.
Summary of Substantial Equivalence:
In this submission, testing is provided to address the difference in technological characteristics between the proposed and predicate devices. Nonclinical testing and discussion of previously submitted information on the predicate devices establish that there are no new issues of safety or effectiveness for the proposed device.
The proposed device meets the performance criteria of design verification as specified by ISO standards, guidance documents and test protocols. The proposed device has the same intended use, operation and function as the predicates. There are no differences that raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
