No
The summary describes a mechanical device (introducer) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is an introducer used to facilitate catheter insertion, which is a procedural step rather than a therapeutic intervention itself.

No
Explanation: The device, a Valved Tearaway Introducer, is intended to facilitate catheter insertion for central venous access. Its function is interventional (to assist with a procedure) rather than diagnostic (to identify or characterize a medical condition).

No

The device description clearly states "Valved Tearaway Introducers," which are physical medical devices used for central venous access, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "obtain central venous access to facilitate catheter insertion into the central venous system." 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 "Valved Tearaway Introducer Generation II" aligns with a medical device used for accessing blood vessels, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status

Therefore, the Valved Tearaway Introducer is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Holwick:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
