The summary describes a physical catheter and its performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The document states the device is intended for general intravascular use, including to facilitate the introduction of diagnostic agents, which is a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is a catheter designed for the introduction of diagnostic agents, not for performing the diagnostic analysis itself.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical catheter with various material and structural components, not a software-only device.
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 "general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature" and to "facilitate the introduction of diagnostic agents." This describes a device used within the body for procedural purposes, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for navigation within blood vessels, which aligns with its intended intravascular use.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
Therefore, the SOFIA Distal Access Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SOFIA Distal Access Catheter is intended for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. It can be used to facilitate the introduction of diagnostic agents. It is not intended for use in coronary arteries.

Device Description
The SOFIA™ Distal Access Catheter is a single-lumen, flexible catheter designed with coil and braid reinforcement. The distal segment is steam-shapeable and it has a hydrophilic coating for navigation through the vasculature. The radiopaque marker is located at the distal end of the catheter for visualization under fluoroscopy. An introducer sheath and shaping mandrel are also provided.
