The description focuses on mechanical and ultrasound imaging components, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis, guidance, or other functions.
No.
The device facilitates placement and positioning of catheters and guidewires for subsequent interventions, rather than directly treating a condition itself.
Yes
The device uses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to provide an "intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions." This imaging capability provides information about the internal structure of vessels to aid in medical procedures, which is a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a needle, IVUS transducer, and handle with a deployment ring. This is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the placement and positioning of catheters and guidewires within the peripheral vasculature using mechanical means (catheter, needle) and imaging (IVUS). It is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a needle and an ultrasound transducer for navigation and guidance during a medical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any such analysis of bodily specimens.
The device is a tool used during a medical procedure to aid in navigation and placement within the body, not to diagnose or monitor a condition by analyzing bodily fluids or tissues.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Pioneer Plus catheter is intended to facilitate placement and positioning of catheters within the peripheral vasculature. The Pioneer Plus catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (e.g., sub-total, total occlusions) prior to additional intervention (i.e. PTA, stent, etc.). The Pioneer Plus catheter is not indicated for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.

Device Description
The Pioneer Plus catheter is intended to facilitate placement and positioning of catheters within the peripheral vasculature. The Pioneer Plus catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of the area of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (e.g., sub-total, total or chronic total occlusions) prior to additional intervention (i.e. PTA, stent, etc.). The Pioneer Plus catheter is not indicated for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.
The Pioneer Plus catheter is a dual lumen catheter that is inserted through a commercially available 6F introducer sheath and placed percutaneously into a peripheral vessel. The Pioneer Plus catheter tracks to its intended site in the vasculature over a standard, commercially available 0.014" (0.36 mm) tracking guidewire. The Pioneer Plus catheter utilizes an extendable, hollow Nitinol needle - minimum internal needle diameter: 0.016" (0.43 mm): it is compatible with floppy 0.014" (0.36 mm) over the wire (OTW) guidewires to facilitate the redirection and placement of the guidewire into peripheral vessels. The needle orientation placement is achieved through the use of an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) transducer mounted at the distal end of the Pioneer Plus catheter. The Pioneer Plus catheter operator navigates the peripheral vasculature under fluoroscopic guidance and uses IVUS imaging to direct the needle to achieve optimal placement. The operator uses the Needle Deployment Ring incorporated into the handle of the Pioneer Plus catheter to extend the needle from the catheter. The needle can be extended up to 7mm in length, or to a pre-determined distance using the Stop Ring. A 0.014" (0.36 mm) OTW guidewire (needle guidewire) can then be advanced through the needle and used to facilitate the placement of subsequent catheters once the Pioneer Plus device is withdrawn.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical device testing was conducted to confirm the performance of the modified device. Bench testing was conducted against known standards or product specification and evaluated Visual Inspection, Outer Diameter (OD) Measurement, Braid Durability, Bend Radius (Kink) and Tensile Testing. All testing met the acceptance criterial with 95/95 confidence/reliability. The successful completion of performance testing concluded that the modified Pioneer Plus Catheter is substantially equivalent to the current Pioneer Plus Catheter.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Pioneer Plus catheter is intended to facilitate placement and positioning of catheters within the peripheral vasculature. The Pioneer Plus catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of the area of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (e.g., sub-total, total or chronic total occlusions) prior to additional intervention (i.e. PTA, stent, etc.). The Pioneer Plus catheter is not indicated for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.
The Pioneer Plus catheter is a dual lumen catheter that is inserted through a commercially available 6F introducer sheath and placed percutaneously into a peripheral vessel. The Pioneer Plus catheter tracks to its intended site in the vasculature over a standard, commercially available 0.014" (0.36 mm) tracking guidewire. The Pioneer Plus catheter utilizes an extendable, hollow Nitinol needle - minimum internal needle diameter: 0.016" (0.43 mm): it is compatible with floppy 0.014" (0.36 mm) over the wire (OTW) guidewires to facilitate the redirection and placement of the guidewire into peripheral vessels.

The needle can be extended up to 7mm in length, or to a pre-determined distance using the Stop Ring. A 0.014" (0.36 mm) OTW guidewire (needle guidewire) can then be advanced through the needle and used to facilitate the placement of subsequent catheters once the Pioneer Plus device is withdrawn.
INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The indications for Use remain the same and are as follows:
The Pioneer Plus catheter is intended to facilitate placement and positioning of catheters within the peripheral vasculature. The Pioneer Plus catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of the area of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (e.g., sub-total, total or chronic total occlusions) prior to additional intervention (i.e. PTA, stent, etc.). The Pioneer Plus catheter is not indicated for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.
COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISICS:
The modification made to the Pioneer Plus Catheter is a double wrap of Vestamid sheath material to the area located at the bonded joint of the braided stainless steel outer shaft and the Vestamid distal sleeve to improve braid containment. The Vestamid sheath material is already used on the Pioneer Plus Catheter,
5
there is just an additional wrap of that same material that did not change the Outer Dimension (OD). There was also tightening of a specification for the braided wire and an inspection method. The modifications do not affect the intended use of the device or technologies and it does not alter the fundamental scientific technologies. The proposed design change does not change the fundamental operating principles of the device. The indications for use are identical to those of the currently marketed device. These changes have no impact to the Pioneer Plus Catheter sterilization, materials, or packaging. The modified catheter is substantially equivalently to currently marketed device.
PERFORMANCE DATA:
Non-clinical device testing was conducted to confirm the performance of the modified device. Bench testing was conducted against known standards or product specification and evaluated Visual Inspection, Outer Diameter (OD) Measurement, Braid Durability, Bend Radius (Kink) and Tensile Testing. All testing met the acceptance criterial with 95/95 confidence/reliability.
The successful completion of performance testing concluded that the modified Pioneer Plus Catheter is substantially equivalent to the current Pioneer Plus Catheter.
The design change did not introduce new material and does not impact sterility or packaging. All packaging materials and processes remain the same. The sterile barrier system remains the same. The modified Pioneer Plus Catheter is packaged in the same configuration as the current Pioneer Plus.
