No reference devices were used in this submission.
No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, materials, and biological compatibility of a hemodialysis catheter. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes.
This device is a hemodialysis catheter, which is used for long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, thus treating kidney failure.
No
This device is a long-term hemodialysis catheter used for vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of blood for these treatments.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of radiopaque polyurethane with various hardware components (stylet, introducer, dilator, etc.) and is intended for physical insertion into a patient's vein. It is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into a blood vessel (internal jugular vein) for the purpose of blood access. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body. The device facilitates the process of hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatments involving the manipulation of blood within or connected to the patient's circulatory system.
Therefore, the Merit Centros and CentrosFLO Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for vascular access, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Centros and CentrosFLO Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheters are dual lumen, 15FR catheters available in lengths ranging from 15 to 31 cm (cuff-to-tip). The catheter comes with a stiffening stylet that can be used for over-the-wire placement. The catheter lumens are D-shaped and made from radiopaque polyurethane. The distal end design is a fixed length pre-formed split-tip, with (CentrosFLO) or without (Centros) side-holes. The distal venous lumen extends past the arterial lumen, and includes a guide wire slit for insertion by the optional over-the-wire placement technique. The proximal device contains a fixed polyester cuff, an integrated bifurcation, suture wing, and extension legs with color coded occlusion clamps and Luer connectors (red and blue for the arterial and venous lumens respectively). The lumen priming volumes are printed on ID tags within the occlusion clamps. The trade name and cuff-to-tip length are printed on the catheter bifurcation. The catheter is a single-use device provided sterile via ethylene oxide for long-term (> 30 days) use. The Centros and CentrosFLO Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheters are marketed with any of the following components, depending on the product configuration: stylet, introducer, dilator(s), tunneler with sheath, introducer needle, scalpel, guide wire, adhesive wound dressings,

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
FDA guidance and recognized performance standards have been established for Implanted Blood Access Devices for Hemodialysis under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. A battery of tests was performed based on the requirements of the below recognized performance standards and draft guidance, as well as biocompatibility, sterilization, and labeling standards and guidance. Conformity to these standards demonstrates that the proposed Merit Centros/CentrosFLO Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheter met the standards' established acceptance criteria applicable to the safety and efficacy of the device.

§ 876.5540 Blood access device and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
