No
The document describes a mechanical drainage system and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used for the "palliation of symptoms related to recurrent malignant ascites," which directly addresses the symptomatic relief of a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a system for drainage and palliation of symptoms related to malignant ascites, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter and drainage kits, and the performance studies focus on bench-level testing of these physical attributes (cuff adherence, tensile strength, leakage, etc.). There is no mention of software as a primary or standalone component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the drainage of symptomatic, recurrent, malignant ascites and the palliation of symptoms. This is a therapeutic and palliative intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter system designed to drain fluid from the peritoneal cavity. This is a physical device used for fluid removal, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or the drained ascites fluid itself) to provide diagnostic information. The focus is on the physical removal of fluid to alleviate symptoms.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

§ 876.5630 Peritoneal dialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. (1) A peritoneal dialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions, and that consists of a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments.
(3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles.
(4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.
