More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical properties of the introducer set, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an introducer access set for diagnostic and interventional procedures, which facilitates other devices but does not provide therapy itself.

No

The device is intended to introduce other diagnostic and interventional devices, not to perform diagnostics itself. The performance studies focus on the device's physical properties and function for introducing other tools, not on its ability to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (introducer sheath, dilator, wire guide, access needle) and the performance studies describe physical testing of these components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce diagnostic and interventional devices in radial artery access procedures." This describes a device used during a medical procedure to facilitate access, not a device used to test a sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The components (introducer sheath, dilator, wire guide, access needle) are all tools used for accessing a blood vessel, not for performing in vitro tests.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely procedural access.
