The summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for medical treatments such as hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is a dialysis catheter used for short-term vascular access for treatments like hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis, and for intravenous therapy and central venous pressure monitoring. It does not perform diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of thermosensitive polyurethane with multiple lumens, indicating it is a hardware 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 clearly states the device is for "attaining short-term (less than 30 days) vascular access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis treatments." It also mentions use for "intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring." These are all procedures performed on the patient, not on a sample taken from the patient to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details the physical structure of the catheter and its lumens for blood flow and fluid administration. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing. The performance studies focus on the physical and functional performance of the catheter itself (kink resistance, flow rates, burst pressure, etc.), not on the accuracy of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a medical device used for therapeutic and monitoring purposes directly within the patient's vascular system.

Device Description
Power-Trialysis™ Slim-Cath™ Short-Term Dialysis Catheters are made of thermosensitive polyurethane, which softens when exposed to body temperature. The catheter is divided into three separate lumens permitting continuous blood flow. Both the venous (blue) and the arterial (red) lumens may be used for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis treatments. The distal (purple) lumen is completely independent from the two dialysis lumens and may be used for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring. The distal lumen can also be accessed for blood draws and infusion of medications.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).

Dear Bryan Stone,
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 Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. 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
1
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.
In addition, we have determined that your device kit contains Lidocaine and ChloraPrep which are subject to regulation as drugs.
Our substantially equivalent determination does not apply to the drug components of your device. We recommend you first contact the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research before marketing your device with the drug components. For information on applicable Agency requirements for marketing these drugs, we suggest you contact:
Food and Drug Administration Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance 10903 New Hampshire Ave. Silver Spring. MD 20993 (301) 594-0101
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its tollfree number (800) 638 2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Resourcesfor You/Industry/default.htm.
