Intended Use
BD Nexiva Diffusics closed IV catheter systems are intended to be inserted into a patient's vascular system for short term use to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. These devices may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy, procedure being performed, fluids being infused, and duration of therapy. These devices are suitable for use with power injectors set to a maximum pressure of 325 psi (2240 kPa) when access ports not suitable for use with power injectors are removed.
Device Description
BD Nexiva Diffusics closed IV catheter systems are over-the-needle, intravascular catheters. These devices have a radiopaque BD Vialon catheter with side holes located near the tip of the catheter which are designed to optimize power injection procedures. These devices also have a needle, needle shield, septum, stabilization platform, integrated extension tubing, clamp, Luer connector, and vent plug. The Luer connector displays gauge-specific maximum flow rate and the maximum power injector pressure limit setting. The needle and catheter are protected by a needle cover. An end cap with protective cover is provided in the unit package. The closed system is designed to keep blood contained within the device throughout the insertion process. The septum is designed to wipe visible blood from the needle surface as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter, further reducing the risk of blood exposure. The needle tip is passively protected when the needle is removed, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injury. These devices have BD Instaflash needle technology, allowing for immediate visualization of blood along the catheter. Continuous blood return is seen in the extension tubing. The vent plug prevents blood leakage from the extension tubing during insertion. The stabilization platform and Luer connector are color coded to indicate catheter gauge size (24 GA [0.7 mm]=Yellow, 22 GA [0.9 mm] =Blue, 20 GA [1.1 mm]=Pink, 18 GA [1.3 mm]=Green).

No
The summary describes a mechanical medical device (IV catheter system) and its physical features and performance testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is used to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids, which are diagnostic and supportive functions, not directly therapeutic.

No

The description of the device's intended use indicates it is for administering fluids, monitoring blood pressure, or sampling blood, which are therapeutic or monitoring functions, not diagnostic ones. While blood sampling can be used for diagnostic purposes, the device itself is a tool for obtaining the sample, not for performing the diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as catheters, needles, tubing, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware medical device. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for insertion into a patient's vascular system for purposes like sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. These are direct interactions with the patient's body for therapeutic or monitoring purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter system designed for insertion into a blood vessel. It describes components like a needle, catheter, extension tubing, and connectors, all consistent with a device used for accessing the vascular system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not perform any analysis or testing of a specimen outside the body. It is used to obtain the specimen (blood sampling) or deliver substances (administer fluids) or monitor within the body.

Therefore, the BD Nexiva Diffusics closed IV catheter system is a medical device used for accessing the vascular system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

| Device
Description | BD Nexiva Diffusics closed IV catheter systems are over-the-needle, intravascular
catheters. These devices have a radiopaque BD Vialon catheter with side holes
located near the tip of the catheter which are designed to optimize power injection
procedures. These devices also have a needle, needle shield, septum,
stabilization platform, integrated extension tubing, clamp, Luer connector, and vent
plug. The Luer connector displays gauge-specific maximum flow rate and the
maximum power injector pressure limit setting. The needle and catheter are
protected by a needle cover. An end cap with protective cover is provided in the
unit package.

The closed system is designed to keep blood contained within the device
throughout the insertion process. The septum is designed to wipe visible blood
from the needle surface as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter, further
