AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the VPS System uses the patient's physiological information (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) and provides "real-time catheter information" and a "guidance indicator" (Blue Bullseye) based on this analysis. While the terms AI or ML are not used, the description of analyzing physiological data to provide real-time guidance and a specific indicator for optimal placement strongly suggests the use of an algorithm that processes complex biological signals to make a determination, which aligns with the principles of machine learning or AI in medical devices. The mention of intravascular ultrasound also suggests image processing capabilities, which are often coupled with AI/ML for analysis.

Therapeutic

No
The device, a central venous catheter, is designed for "short-term access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, [and] pressure injection of contrast media." While it facilitates therapies, it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself. Its antimicrobial and antithrombogenic properties are preventive, not therapeutic.

Diagnostic

Yes.

The device is intended for "guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheters" and provides "real-time catheter information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood) information" to guide placement and confirm the catheter tip location. These functions are diagnostic as they provide information about the patient's physiological state and the location of the catheter to aid in medical decision-making.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as catheters, stylets, sensors, and wires, indicating it is a hardware device with potential software components for analysis and guidance.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a catheter for accessing the central venous system for various therapeutic and diagnostic procedures within the body (intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection). It also includes a system for guiding and positioning the catheter within the body.
Device Description: The description details a physical catheter and a stylet with sensors designed to interact with the patient's physiology in vivo.
Lack of In Vitro Testing Focus: While the Chlorag+ard technology mentions in vitro testing for antimicrobial efficacy, this is a test of the coating's properties, not the primary function of the device as a diagnostic tool performed outside the body. The core function is in vivo access and guidance.
No Mention of Analyzing Samples Outside the Body: The text does not describe the device being used to collect samples for analysis outside the body to diagnose a condition. Blood sampling is mentioned, but the device itself is not performing the diagnostic analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device operates in vivo.

PCCP (Predetermined Change Control Plan) Authorized

No
The input does not contain explicit language stating that the FDA has reviewed and cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

Antimierobial cities were evaluated using in ritre and in rive and in rive and in rive and in rive and in rive methods and no correlation between these esting methods and clinical outcome has currently been assertained. It is not intended to be used for the treatment of existing infections.

The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheress for use in placement of the cather. intravascular espability for ECG devection and intravascular ultrasound for eatherer guiding and passioning. The VPS Stylet, when used with the VPS Console, provides real-time catherer information by using the patient's physiological (curdize clectrical activity and blow) information. When the VPS System guidance indicator shows a Blue Bullseye, the catheter tip is in the desired location.

The VPS System is indicated for use as an sherative method to Internation venus cather up placement confirmation in add patients when a steady Blue Bullseye is obtained, NOTE: IT's steady Blue Bullained, standard haspital proctive should be followed to confirm catherer tip location.

The CG+ Arrow JACC 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 5 mL/sec for the 1-Lumen and 2-Lumen catheters and 6 mL/sec for the 3-Lumen catheter. The external catheter body and the internal fluid path of the device are treated with Chlorhexidine based coating technology.

Nonclinical Testing

The following verification testing was performed and applies to the CG+ Arrow JACC powered by Arrow VPS Stylet:

Chlorhexidine coating testing: chlorhexidine content testing, chlorhexidine coating efficacy, chiorhexidine release rate (elution), mechanical hemolysis, 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, force to remove stylet from catheter, and post-insertion/removal catheter air and liquid leakage and stylet electrical testing.

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 devices.
