No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a medical introducer sheath, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device's description and intended use indicate it is an "Introducer Sheath" which facilitates the introduction of other devices (EMBOL-X Intra-Aortic Filters) into the body. It does not appear to directly treat a disease or condition itself, but rather provides access for a therapeutic intervention.
No
This device is an introducer sheath, which is a tool used to facilitate the insertion of other medical devices (like filters) into the body. Its function is to create a pathway, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly details a physical, single-use introducer sheath made of polymeric materials with various hardware components (housing, obturator, valve, suture flange, etc.). The performance studies also focus on physical testing of these components. There is no mention of software as a component or function of this device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for introducing a medical device (EMBOL-X Intra-Aortic Filters) into the body during a procedure. This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for insertion into a vessel, with features like a lumen, obturator, valve, and suture flange. These are characteristics of a surgical or interventional device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
Edwards Lifesciences' EMBOL-X Introducer Sheath is a 17 Fr, sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use introducer made of flexible and non-flexible polymeric materials. It consists of a single lumen housing and a removable, snap-lock obturator.
The housing has a flexible suture flange for attachment to the vessel and orientation markings on the shaft and suture flange to assist in the placement of the EMBOL-X Introducer Sheath. Inside the housing is an internal valve to prevent backbleeding.
The housing also has suture loops on the proximal end of the Introducer housing, and vent grooves, vent holes, and a central lumen in the obturator that leads to the vent plug to assist in venting air from the Introducer.

Dear Mr. Meidell.
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.
