Device Description
The Surefire Guiding Catheter provides a pathway to introduce and facilitate the advancement of devices into the peripheral vascular system. The Surefire Guiding Catheter is a single-lumen 5F catheter with a soft distal tip and a Luer-Lock hub and strain relief. The Surefire Guiding Catheter has a three-layer construction, consisting of a Teflon inner liner, metal mid-layer, and a polymer outer shaft jacket.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a guiding catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device's intended use explicitly states it is a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use state that the Surefire Guiding Catheter provides a pathway for therapeutic devices to be introduced, and helps facilitate their advancement. It does not mention any diagnostic function such as identifying or analyzing medical conditions or states.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific material construction, dimensions, and compatibility with other physical medical devices. It is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Surefire Guiding Catheter Function: The Surefire Guiding Catheter is a medical device used within the body (in vivo) to facilitate the introduction of other therapeutic devices into the peripheral vascular system. It's a tool for delivering treatments, not for analyzing biological samples.

The description clearly outlines its use as a pathway for introducing devices during a medical procedure, which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one based on in vitro analysis.

Indications for Use

The Surefire Guiding Catheter is intended to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced. The Surefire Guiding Catheter is intended to be used in the peripheral vascular system.

Biocompatability Testing

The patient contact materials and colorants used to fabricate the proximal section (hub and shaft) of the modified Surefire Guiding Catheter are identical to the Surefire Guiding Catheter as it was cleared in 510(k) K140034 (cleared February 26, 2014) in formulation, processing, and sterilization, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.). Biocompatibility testing of the patient-contact materials used in the construction of the proximal section (hub and shaft) of the modified Surefire Guiding Catheter were previously performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for an external communicating device in contact with circulating blood with a limited duration of less than 24 hours. The testing was conducted in accordance with GLP by NAMSA (Northwood, OH). Therefore, the biocompatibility test requirements for the proximal section (hub and shaft) of the modified Surefire Guiding Catheter were met by leveraging the previously completed biocompatibility testing.

Biocompatibility testing of the patient contact materials used to fabricate the modified distal tip was performed in accordance with GLP (NAMSA, Northwood, OH) and ISO 10993-1 for external communicating devices in contact with circulating blood with a limited duration of less than 24 hours.

Biocompatibility testing of the material used to jacket the catheter shaft was completed by the material manufacturer in accordance with GLP (Toxicon, Bedford MA) and ISO 10993-1 for external communicating devices in contact with circulating blood with a limited duration of less than 24 hours.

Additionally, testing for thrombogenicity was performed on the modified Surefire Guiding Catheter as a part of an Animal Study.
