Intended Use
Alvision™ Interventional Cardiology Diagnostic Catheters are intended for use in the delivery of radio-opaque media to selected sites in the coronary vascular system. Alvicath™ Endovascular Diagnostic Catheters are intended for use in the delivery of radio-opaque media to selected sites in the peripheral vascular system.
Device Description
The Alvision™ Interventional Cardiology Diagnostic Catheter ("Alvision™") and the Alvicath™ Endovascular Diagnostic Catheter ("Alvicath™") are sterile, nonpyrogenic, single lumen catheters with a soft distal tip and a proximal strain relief and luer hub. The tri-layer catheter body construction is constructed of a first extrusion layer, a stainless steel wire braid middle layer, and a radiopaque outer layer of Nylon 12. The catheters are for single-use only. The Alvision™ and Alvicath™ Diagnostic Catheters are provided in a variety of distal shape configurations and are available in Fr Sizes 4, 5, 6 and 7. Alvision Diagnostic Catheters are provided in useable lengths of 80, 100 and 110cm. Alvicath Endovascular Diagnostic Catheters are provided in useable lengths of 45, 60, 65, 80 and 100cm.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a diagnostic catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a "Diagnostic Catheter" intended for the delivery of radio-opaque media, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The name of the device, "Alvision™ Interventional Cardiology Diagnostic Catheters," includes "Diagnostic." The "Intended Use" states they are for "delivery of radio-opaque media to selected sites in the coronary vascular system," which is a diagnostic procedure (angiography).

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific material construction, dimensions, and physical performance testing, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver radio-opaque media to specific sites within the vascular system. This is a procedure performed within the body for imaging purposes, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, which is a physical instrument used for insertion into the body.
  • 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.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a tool used in a medical procedure for imaging, not for analyzing a sample.
