Intended Use
The Barricade Embolization Coil System is intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial anewysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Barricade Embolization Coil System is also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Barricade Embolization Coil System (BCS) is a series specialized coils that are inserted into the vasculature under angiographic visualization to embolize intracranial aneurysms and other vascular anomalies. The system consists of an embolization coil implant comprised of platinum/tungsten, affixed to a delivery pusher with an introducer sheath to facilitate insertion into the hub of a microcatheter. The system is available in various shapes, lengths and sizes. The devices are to be placed into aneurysms to create blood stasis, reducing flow into the aneurysm and thrombosing the aneurysm. Upon positioning coils into the aneurysm, the coils are electrolytically detached from the delivery pusher in serial manner until the aneurysm is occluded.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical medical device (embolization coils) and its delivery system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as "intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities" and to "permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device, the Barricade Embolization Coil System, is intended for therapeutic embolization and occlusion of blood vessels, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of platinum/tungsten, a delivery pusher, and an introducer sheath, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Barricade Embolization Coil System is an implantable device used inside the body to physically block blood flow in blood vessels. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed within the body to treat vascular abnormalities.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant and its delivery system, not a method for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Barricade Embolization Coil System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
