No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a catheter introducer sheath and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies described are related to physical characteristics and integrity, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is used to introduce other catheters into the heart, not to treat a condition itself.
No
The device is described as a sheath, dilator, and guidewire for introducing cardiovascular catheters, which are interventional tools, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to facilitate access and delivery of other devices, not to diagnose conditions itself.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components such as a dilator, guidewire, fixed curve sheath, hemostasis valve, side-port, and materials like polymers and stainless steel. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "percutaneous introduction of various types of cardiovascular catheters to all heart chambers." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, guidewire) designed to facilitate the insertion of other devices into the heart. It does not mention any components or processes related to testing samples of bodily fluids or tissues in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, analysis of biological samples, or any other activities typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool for performing a medical procedure directly on the patient.

Device Description
The modified HeartSpan™ Fixed Curve Braided Transseptal Sheath consists of a dilator, guidewire, and fixed curve sheath, which are designed introduction into the cardiac anatomy. The device is for catheter provided sterile (ethylene oxide) and intended for single use only. It is for use in hospitals or healthcare facilities.
The fixed curve introducer contains a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A side-port with threeway stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling, and pressure monitoring. The introducer is available in lengths ranging from 60 to 101.5 cm and curve configurations from 15° to 150° to address various anatomical features. The fixed curve introducer also includes distal perfusion holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize cavitation, a radiopaque tip marker to improve fluoroscopic visualization, an atraumatic soft tip, and a lubricious coating on the inner and outer surfaces. The dilator is designed to conform to the inner diameter of the sheath, and has a tapered tip.
The materials of construction are primarily polymers with the exception of stainless steel braid reinforcement wires in the introducer shaft that are completely encapsulated in the sheath wall and do not contact the patient or bodily fluids.

Dear Ms. Stubbs:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH0ffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
