No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and intended use of a catheter for angiographic procedures. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any features that would suggest the incorporation of AI or ML.
No.
The device is used as a conduit for the delivery of contrast media to assist physicians in diagnosis, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The device description explicitly states, "Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are for use in angiographic procedures as a conduit for the delivery of contrast media to assist physicians in the diagnosis and management of occlusions or stenoses". The term "diagnosis" directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of nylon with stainless steel braiding, available in various sizes and configurations. This is a hardware device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are used within the body during angiographic procedures. They are a conduit for delivering contrast media and facilitating the placement of other medical devices. They do not perform tests on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states their purpose in angiographic procedures within the vascular system for diagnosis and management of occlusions or stenoses and device placement. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are in the peripheral and coronary vascular system including the carotid arteries in angiographic procedures by physicians trained in angiographic techniques. Standard techniques for placement of vascular access sheaths, angiographic catheters and wire guides should be employed.

Device Description
Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are selective angiographic catheters manufactured with a thinwall radiopaque nylon material, having a blue hue. The nylon catheter is constructed with stainless steel braiding and a large internal diameter. These catheters are manufactured with a soft distal tip which may or may not be tapered at the distal tip and are manufactured in a variety of distal curve configurations (DAV, MPA, KMP, etc.) to facilitate selective angiography.
Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are available in 4.1 to 7.0 French, and nominal lengths measuring 35 to 125 centimeters. The catheter tips may be tapered at the distal tip to accept a 0.035 or 0.038 inch diameter wire guides. Alternately, the subject device may have a non-tapered tip or may be manufactured with a closed distal end. The subject devices are manufactured with sideport quantities ranging from zero to twelve per device.
Torcon NB® Advantage Catheters are for use in angiographic procedures as a conduit for the delivery of contrast media to assist physicians in the diagnosis and management of occlusions or stenoses and in placement of medical devices. The catheters are designed for percutaneous introduction into the vascular system over an appropriately sized wire guide.

Dear Jennifer Allman:
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.
