Intended Use
The Steerable Intracardiac Catheter Introducer Kit is intended to introduce various catheters into the heart, including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
Device Description
The proposed device includes Steerable Intracardiac Catheter Introducer Kit as well as its accessory, Transseptal Needle. The Steerable Intracardiac Catheter Introducer Kit is intended for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into heart, including both right and left side. When left side of heart is accessed, Transseptal Needle is intended for puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure. The Steerable Intracardiac Catheter Introducer Kit includes three components, which are (1) steerable sheath introducer, (2) dilator and (3) guidewire. The steerable sheath introduced into a body vessel, along with the dilator, over the guidewire, it is available in variable specification and curve configuration: Dilator is assembled with the sheath introduced into a body vessel over the guidewire. It is used to provide support to sheath and ensure smooth advancement; the guidewire is percutaneous placed into the body vessel to function as a guide for the introduction into the chambers of the heart. The handle of Steerable Intracardiac Catheter Introducer is equipped with the rotation collar, turn the collar in clockwise, the tip can be stered from 0 to 180 degree(s), while turn the collar in counterclockwise, the tip can be steered from 0 to 90 degree(s) on the other side. The transseptal needle includes two components, which are (1) stylet. The needle is used to puncture the interatrial septum during a transseptal catheterization procedure; the stylet is used to keep the needle lumen intact during handling and facilitate the needle advancement within the dilator. The kit and the transseptal needle are provided sterilized. They are subject to Ethylene Oxide sterilization prior to release. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) is 10-6. The shelf life of the proposed device is three (3) years.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and function of a steerable catheter introducer kit and transseptal needle. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

No

The device is an introducer kit designed to facilitate the introduction of other catheters into the heart. It does not provide any therapeutic treatment itself.

No
The device is described as an introducer kit intended to facilitate the introduction of other catheters into the heart. Its function is to provide access, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a steerable sheath introducer, dilator, guidewire, and transseptal needle, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce various catheters into the heart." This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate other medical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, guidewire, needle) used for accessing and navigating within the heart. It does not describe a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a tool for accessing anatomical locations within the body for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures performed with other devices.
