The document describes a central venous catheter system that uses physiological signals (ECG and ultrasound) for tip positioning guidance. While it processes physiological data to provide a visual indicator ("Blue Bullseye"), there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for this processing or for any other function of the device. The system appears to rely on direct interpretation of physiological signals rather than learned patterns or models.
No
{"explanation": "The device is a central venous catheter used for access to the central venous system for various purposes like intravenous therapy and blood sampling, and for guiding catheter tip placement. While it facilitates medical procedures, it is not described as directly treating a disease or condition."}
Yes
The device, specifically the VPS Stylet and Console, utilize the patient's physiological information (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) to provide real-time catheter tip location information and confirm catheter tip placement. This process of using physiological data to determine a medical condition or state (catheter tip location) qualifies it as a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like catheters, stylets, and a console, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with associated software for guidance and positioning.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly indicate that this device is a catheter designed for direct access to the central venous system for therapy, blood sampling, infusion, and pressure injection. It is used in the patient's body, not to test samples from the patient's body.
- The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the catheter and the VPS system for guiding and positioning. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples.
- The VPS system uses physiological information (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) for guidance and positioning. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body, not an analysis of a specimen.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Arrow Pressure Injectable JACC with Chlorageard Antithrombogenic Technology is indicated for short-term (30 days) access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection of contrast media and allows for central venous pressure monitoring. The maximum pressure of pressure injector equipment used with the Pressure Injectable JACC may not exceed 300 psi (2068.4 kPa), The maximum pressure injection flow rate for the specific lumen being used for pressure injection is printed on the extension line hub.
Chlorag+ard Technology treatment on the external surface of the catheter body as well as the entire fluid pathyav of the catheter has been shown to be effective in reducing microbial colonization on catheter surfaces. Antimicrobial effectiveness were evaluated using in vivo test methods and no correlation between these testing methods and clinical outcome has currently been ascertained. It is not intended to be used for the treating infections.
The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheters. The Stylet provides stiffness for use in placement of the catheter, intravascular capability for ECG detection and recording and intravascular ultrasound for catheter guiding and positioning. The VPS Stylet, when used with the VPS Console, provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information. When the Vascular Positioning System guidance indicator shows a Blue Bullseye, the catheter tip is in the desired location.
The VPS System is indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for central venous catheter tip placement confirmation in adult patients when a steady Blue Bullseye is obtained. NOTE: If a steady Blue Bullseye is not obtained, standard hospital practice should be followed to confirm catheter tip location.
Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this technique are in palients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P-wave as in atrial flutter, severe tachycardia and pacemaker-driven rhythm, and in central venous catheterization procedures performed through femoral vein access which change the presentation of the P-wave. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous catheter insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.

The Arrow Pressure Injectable JACC with Chlorag+ard Antimicrobial and Antithrombogenic Technology is indicated for short-term (30 days) access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection of contrast media and allows for central venous pressure monitoring. The maximum pressure of pressure injector equipment used with the Arrow Pressure Injectable JACC may not exceed 300 psi (2068.4 kPa). The maximum pressure injection flow rate for the specific lumen being used for pressure injection is printed on the extension line hub.
Chlorag+ard Technology treatment on the external surface of the catheter body as well as the entire fluid pathway of the catheter has been shown to be effective in reducing microbial colonization on catheter surfaces. Antimicrobial effectiveness were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo test methods and no correlation between these testing methods and clinical outcome has currently been ascertained. It is not intended to be used for the treatment of existing infections.
The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central venous catheters. The Stylet provides stiffness for use in placement of the catheter, intravascular capability for ECG detection and recording and intravascular ultrasound for catheter guiding and positioning. The VPS Stylet, when used with the VPS Console, provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information.

NOTE: If a steady Blue Bullseye is not obtained, standard hospital practice should be followed to confirm catheter tip location.
Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this technique are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P-wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia and pacemaker-driven rhythm, and in central venous catheterization procedures performed through femoral or saphenous vein access which change the presentation of the P-

wave. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous catheter insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.
The above Indication for Use is identical to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The subject CG+ Arrow JACC is substantially equivalent to the CG+ Arrow JACC powered by VPS (K132133) in terms of indications for use, manufacturing process, conditions and aids, functional performance, fundamental scientific technology and materials of construction. There is no change to the geometric design of the subject devices which is associated with the procedural clarifications subject to this submission. The procedure clarifications consist of the addition of catheter trimming instructions and other minor clarifications to make the instructions easier to read by eliminating redundancy and standard protocols as well as improving the flow of the written procedure, thus clarifying the recommended procedural steps.

Conclusions
The predicate and the subject devices have the same indications for use, intended use, materials, chlorhexidine formulation, concentration (content per surface area), method of application and mechanism of release and are manufactured using the same processes, conditions and aids. The results of the verification testing performed have supported the substantial equivalence of the modified devices to the predicate devices.
