Intended Use
The PowerPort® implanted port is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system. The port system can be used for infusion of medications, I.V. fluids, parenteral nutrition solutions, blood products, and for the withdrawal of blood samples. When used with a PowerLoc® safety infusion set, the PowerPort® device is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/s.
Device Description
PowerPort® Implantable Ports are designed to provide repeated access to the vascular system without the need for repeated venipuncture or daily care of an external catheter. Long-Term Implantable Ports consist of a rigid housing and a self-sealing septum. The catheters used with infusion ports are essentially the same design as externalized, stand-alone intravascular catheters. Polyurethane catheters are attached to the port by the physician during implantation. PowerPort® Implantable Ports can be used for routine vascular access using a non-coring access needle. However, for power injection procedures, PowerPort® ports must be accessed with a Bard PowerLoc® Safety Infusion Set (SIS) to create a power-injectable system. The ChronoFlex® Polyurethane Catheters maintain an average root mean square catheter surface profilometry of less than 0.5µm.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and material properties of an implantable port and catheter system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates the delivery of therapies (e.g., infusion of medications, parenteral nutrition), but it is not a therapy itself. Its function is to provide repeated vascular access.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an implanted port system used for infusion of medications, fluids, nutrition, blood products, and for withdrawal of blood samples. It facilitates access to the vascular system for therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "Implantable Port" consisting of a "rigid housing and a self-sealing septum" and "catheters." These are physical hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, the PowerPort® implanted port is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system" for infusion and withdrawal of substances within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details an implantable port system designed to be placed inside the body for vascular access.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are typically used to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue in a laboratory setting. The PowerPort® is a device implanted within the patient's body for direct access to the vascular system.

§ 880.5965 Subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter.

(a)
Identification. A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.(b)
