Yes
The device is intended to prevent clinically significant pulmonary embolism and provide access to the central venous system, which are direct therapeutic interventions.
No
The Angel Catheter is intended for therapeutic purposes (prevention of pulmonary embolism, central venous access) and does not perform diagnostic functions. While its placement is assessed via radiograph, the device itself is not a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description clearly details a physical medical device consisting of a catheter and a filter, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Angel® Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Angel® Catheter Function: The Angel® Catheter is a medical device that is inserted directly into the patient's body (in vivo). Its primary functions are:
- Mechanical filtration: The IVC filter component physically captures blood clots in the inferior vena cava.
- Central venous access: The catheter component provides a pathway for administering fluids, medications, and for blood sampling.
The device's purpose is to prevent pulmonary embolism and provide venous access within the patient's circulatory system, not to analyze samples taken from the patient.

Device Description
The Angel® Catheter is a retrievable vena cava filter permanently attached to a central venous access catheter. The conical, self-expanding, Nitinol filter has wide proximal openings that allow the capture of clots in the distal end of the filter. The filter is 50 mm long at its maximum expanded/unconstrained diameter of 30 mm. The distal end of the filter is free floating on the central venous catheter so that the filter can expand to the diameter of the vena cava.
The catheter is designed to constrain the IVC filter component in an unexpanded state for delivery to the IVC and to function as the sheath for retrieval of the IVC filter. It has '1 cm' depth markers indicating the depth the catheter has been inserted into the patient. For ease of placement, the catheter has a hydrophilic coating applied to the outer diameter up to the 24 cm depth marker.
The filter is permanently attached to the multi-lumen catheter to ensure secure positioning, while simultaneously providing access to the central venous system for administration of medications, fluids, or blood products; blood sampling; and monitoring of central venous pressure. The multi-lumen catheter and sheath connections are standard color-coded luer fittings, compatible with current ICU pressure monitoring equipment and other accessories. The Distal Tip Port and Proximal Sheath Port may be used for power injection of contrast media, and these luers contain specific pad printing indicating the maximum power injection rates.

Performance and Principle of Operation
The Angel® Catheter combines the functions of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and a multi-lumen central venous access catheter (CVC). It is designed for bedside percutaneous placement in the inferior vena cava, via the femoral vein, for the prevention of pulmonary embolism. Placement of the device is similar to a standard central venous catheter, followed by an abdominal radiograph to assess proper position of the catheter and filter. While in place, the catheter is maintained using the same techniques as a central venous catheter. When the indications for IVC filtration and/or central venous access are no longer present. the permanent attachment of the filter to the catheter ensures that the filter will be retrieved with the catheter at the time of removal. The Angel® Catheter is intended for short term use (less than 30 days).
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Angel® Catheter is intended to provide the combined functions of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and a multi-lumen central venous catheter.
The Angel® Catheter is intended for short term use for the prevention of clinically significant pulmonary embolism (PE) in critically ill patients at high risk for PE or recurrent PE, and recognized contraindications to standard pharmacological thromboprophylaxis therapy.
The Angel® Catheter is also intended to provide access to the central venous system.

510(k) Summary - Page 11 of 11
In conclusion, the Pivotal Study demonstrated that the bedside insertion of the Angel® Catheter is safe and that this device is an effective alternative for the prevention of clinically significant PEs in a high risk population of critically ill patients with contraindications to anticoagulation.
The use of the device for an average of 6.79 days provided protection from PE in this population that was similar to that reported with the use of anticoagulation in the PROTECT study in critically ill subjects with no contraindications to anticoagulation, providing protection for the period with the highest risk of thromboembolic events. There were no clinically significant PEs reported in the study, which is lower than the anticipated rate of these events in this critically ill population with high rates of DVTs and contraindications to anticoagulation.
The Angel® Catheter was not associated with any catheter related blood stream infections. The number of acute lower extremities DVTs as well as the number of catheter related thrombosis (CRT) are within the expected frequency of these events in critically ill patients with central venous catheters. The device malfunctions were mostly related to the non-functionality of one of the access ports and none of them resulted in a serious adverse event.
Thus, this Pivotal Study successfully met all pre-specified primary and secondary endpoints of the clinical trial, and demonstrated an acceptable safety profile for the Angel® Catheter.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Based on clinical data, performance testing, and similarities in indications for use, materials, technological characteristics, principle of operation and design features, Bio2 Medical, Inc. considers the Angel® Catheter performance to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices listed above in terms of safety and performance. Device differences do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
