No
The document describes a standard medical device (introducer set) and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities. The performance studies focus on physical and biological properties, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is described as an introducer set intended to introduce other diagnostic and interventional devices, not to provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No
The device is described as an introducer access set intended to introduce diagnostic and interventional devices, not to perform diagnostics itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (introducer sheath, dilator, wire guide, access needle) and mentions performance studies related to these physical components (leakage testing, biocompatibility). There is no mention of software as a component or function of the 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 the device is for "introducing diagnostic and interventional devices in radial artery access procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate other procedures, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, tissue, or urine for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details components like an introducer sheath, dilator, wire guide, and access needle, all of which are used for accessing and navigating within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Flexor® Radial Hydrophilic Introducer Access Set is a medical device used for vascular access, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

The following tests were performed to demonstrate that the Flexor® Radial Hydrophilic Introducer Access Set met applicable design and performance requirements and support a determination of substantial equivalence.

  • . Acute Performance - Testing performed verified that performance parameters were acceptable for clinical use. The predetermined acceptance criterion was met.
  • . Check-Flo valve liquid leakage testing - Testing verified that the Check-Flo valve will not experience excessive leakage when utilized according to the device's intended use. The predetermined acceptance criteria were met.
  • . Biocompatibility testing - Testing (i.e., cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity, pyrogen, hemocompatibility, complement activation, partial thromboplastin time, and thromboresistance) demonstrated the device as biocompatible. In conformance with the applicable sections of ISO 10993-1:2009, the predetermined acceptance criteria were met.

Dear Ms. Reeves:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
