The summary describes a mechanical device for vascular access and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.
No
The device is used to access veins or arteries for various medical procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition; rather, it facilitates diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is an I.V. catheter used for administering fluids, sampling blood, or monitoring blood pressure. While blood sampling can be part of a diagnostic process, the device itself is an access tool, not a diagnostic instrument that analyzes or interprets data to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (catheter, needle guard, valve) and mentions bench testing and biocompatibility testing, which are typical for hardware devices. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide access to a vein or artery for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and their function in accessing the bloodstream and preventing needlesticks. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose diseases, or monitor treatment. This device does not perform any such analysis.
The device is a medical device used for accessing the circulatory system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
A properly placed ViaValve® Safety I.V. Catheter provides access to a vein or artery to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. The needle guard locks over the needle as the catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 18 to 24 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors up to 300 PSI.

Device Description
The ViaValve® Safety I.V. Catheter provides access to a vein or artery. The ViaValve® Safety I.V. Catheter incorporates a valve inside the catheter hub which is designed to reduce blood exposure during initial catheter placement. The valve will open and allow flow once the Luer connector is attached and will remain open after initial activation. The needle assembly incorporates a needle guard which locks over the needle as the ViaValve® Safety I.V. Catheter is threaded into the vessel to help reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks.
