The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a support catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is a support catheter, which is used to guide and support a guide wire, allow for wire exchanges, and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents. It facilitates procedures but does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is a support catheter used to guide wires and deliver solutions/contrast agents, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific materials, dimensions, and features, indicating it is a hardware medical 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 clearly describes a device used within the body (in the peripheral vascular system) to guide and support a guide wire, allow for wire exchanges, and deliver solutions. This is an in vivo application.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is used inside the body for interventional procedures.

Device Description
The TXM Support Catheter is an over the wire (OTW) single lumen catheter with atraumatic tapered tip. The distal tip catheter shaft has 6 radiopaque markers (including the tip) that works as an aid to estimate positioning within the vasculature. It consists of a lubricious inner liner made from Teflon, and stainless steel braid over the liner and an outer layer that consists of clear Nylon 12 polymer. One gold marker band is positioned on the proximal side of the tip. A polycarbonate hub is attached to the proximal end of the TXM Support Catheter. The TXM Support Catheter system is offered in 8 models, four with a straight tip and four with an angled tip, and the angled tip configuration has an angle of 30°. All models will have an outer diameter of the 4 French size (0.052") and an inner diameter of 0.039" tapered down to 0.0355" towards the distal tip so that is compatible with a 0.035" guidewires. The device is available in lengths of 65cm, 90cm. 135cm, and 150cm. The catheter is coated with a lubricious hydrophilic coating. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.

Dear Mr. Smith:
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.
