Intended Use
The MC3 26 Fr. QuickFlow™ Dual Lumen Catheter is a single use dual lumen catheter, which provides both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via the femoral vein, that is indicated for use for up to 72 hours in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring partial Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (full hemodynamic support is not required and predicted flows needed to maintain adequate oxygenation do not exceed 31/min) where other available treatment options have failed and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent. The MC3 28 Fr. QuickFlow™ Dual Lumen Catheter is a single use dual lumen catheter, which provides both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via the femoral vein, that is indicated for use for up to 72 hours in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring partial Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (full hemodynamic support is not required and predicted flows needed to maintain adequate oxygenation do not exceed 3.5l/min) where other available treatment options have failed and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent.
Device Description
The MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheters are dual lumen catheters supplied with an introducer to facilitate wire guided placement into the vasculature by normal access techniques. The introducer is designed to follow a pre-positioned standard 0.038" (0.97 mm) or 0.035" (0.89 mm) guide wire (not included). The catheter is wire-reinforced for flexibility and kink-resistance and includes depth marks. Both the introducer and catheter are made of radiopaque materials and the catheter has radiopaque markers at the tip and most proximal set of drainage holes. The devices are comprised of two separate thin-walled catheters made of silicone and polyurethane polymer and reinforced with a spring wire. The dual lumen design involves two catheters of different diameters joined together in a co-axial configuration. An arrangement of side holes in the outer (drainage) catheter allows for egress of blood. An open tip on the inner (return) catheter allow s for blood ingress. Unreinforced tube extensions with barbed connectors, allowing clamping and connection to the extracorporeal circuit, are joined to the wye junction. A tapered tip introducer is included to facilitate placement of the catheter into the blood vessel over a standard guide wire (not included). Securement of the device may be accomplished via a groove designed in the Y-connector to accept a suture and a suture around a 3/8" barb connector.
More Information

81 FR 7451, Feb. 12, 2016

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its mechanical properties and performance in bench and in vivo studies. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring partial Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation where other available treatment options have failed, demonstrating its therapeutic intent by providing blood drainage and reinfusion to improve oxygenation.

No

The device is a dual lumen catheter used for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to provide venous drainage and reinfusion of blood, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of silicone and polyurethane polymer with wire reinforcement, introducer, and connectors. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheter is a device that is inserted into the body (specifically the femoral vein) to facilitate the process of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO). It directly handles blood within the circulatory system, not for diagnostic testing of a specimen.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its role in providing venous drainage and reinfusion of blood for respiratory support, not for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the catheter for blood flow management, not for analyzing blood components or other bodily fluids for diagnostic information.

Therefore, the MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheter is a medical device used for treatment and support, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description:

The MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheters are dual lumen catheters supplied with an introducer to facilitate wire guided placement into the vasculature by normal access techniques. The introducer is designed to follow a pre-positioned standard 0.038" (0.97 mm) or 0.035" (0.89 mm) guide wire (not included). The catheter is wire-reinforced for flexibility and kink-resistance and includes depth marks. Both the introducer and catheter are made of radiopaque materials and the catheter has radiopaque markers at the tip and most proximal set of drainage holes.

The devices are comprised of two separate thin-walled catheters made of silicone and polyurethane polymer and reinforced with a spring wire. The dual lumen design involves two catheters of different diameters joined together in a co-axial configuration. An arrangement of side holes in the outer (drainage) catheter allows for egress of blood. An open tip on the inner (return) catheter allow s for blood ingress. Unreinforced tube extensions with barbed connectors, allowing clamping and connection to the extracorporeal circuit, are joined to the wye junction. A tapered tip introducer is included to facilitate placement of the catheter into the blood vessel over a standard guide wire (not included). Securement of the device may be accomplished via a groove designed in the Y-connector to accept a suture and a suture around a 3/8" barb connector.

The cannula size and type is chosen by the physician based on the patient's femoral vein size and clinical needs, the following table may be used as an aid to choosing the cannula:

  • . Comparison of Performance: MC3 Incorporated has conducted performance studies with the MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheters to ensure that these devices satisfy appropriate device performance specifications and satisfy user needs. There are no appreciable differences between the subject devices and the Secondary Predicate Device.

Conclusion:

The information and data included in this 510(k) Notification demonstrate that the MC3 QuickFlow Dual Lumen Catheter is substantially equivalent to the "Predicate Device" for both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via the femoral vein during extracorporeal life support procedures of up to 72 hours for acute respiratory or acute cardiopulmonary failure, where other available treatment options have failed, and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent.
