More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical catheter device and its performance characteristics. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device description states it is used to "facilitate introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic agents", which means it delivers other substances, not that it is therapeutic itself.

No

The device is described as facilitating the introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, indicating it is a tool for delivery rather than performing a diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, introducer sheath, and shaping mandrel, and the performance studies include extensive bench testing on physical attributes and biocompatibility, 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 clearly states "general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for navigation through the vasculature, which is consistent with an in-vivo device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on aspects like biocompatibility, mechanical properties (kink resistance, torque strength, etc.), and flow rate, all of which are relevant to a device used internally. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a catheter used for accessing and delivering agents within the patient's blood vessels.
