No
The description focuses on mechanical features for vessel access, fluid administration, and safety mechanisms. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No
The device is intended to access a vein or artery and administer fluids, which is a delivery mechanism for therapy, not a therapeutic action itself. Its features focus on safe access and fluid administration, not on providing a direct therapeutic effect.
No
The device is described as being for accessing a vein or artery and administering fluids, and it has features to confirm vessel entry and prevent needle sticks. It does not mention any diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as a needle, catheter, safety system, and check valve, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Supercath 5 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "access a vein or artery and to administer fluids." This is a direct medical intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter and needle system designed for insertion into a blood vessel. This aligns with the intended use of accessing the circulatory system for fluid administration.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The Supercath 5 is a device used for direct patient care and treatment.

Device Description
The Supercath 5 (26G) is intended to access a vein or artery and to administer fluids. The Supercath 5 (26G) is designed for single use, and is designed to minimize inadvertent needlesticks and to reduce accidental needlesticks.
This device is a single-use and provided with ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. Its shelf life is 3 years. The device is available in 26G and effective length of 19mm.
The introducer needle of the Supercath 5 (26G) has a side-notch to provide rapid visual confirmation of vessel entry. When the introducer needle is inserted into a vessel, blood passes through the side-notch and flows back along the inside of the catheter.
The Supercath 5 (26G) has a safety system. Pressing an activation button results in retracting the metallic introducer needle into a safety cover. This safety system enables to avoid needle-stick accident and further exposure of blood or body fluid attached to the introducer needle.
Some versions of the Supercath 5 (26G) have a built-in check valve which together with a healthcare professional's finger pressure on a blood vessel assists to reduce blood flashback during and after the retraction of the metallic introducer needle to the safety cover until the connection of an infusion or transfusion set to the catheter hub. The built-in check valve is not intended to stop bleeding completely.

Dear Daisuke Nagamizu:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo featuring a globe with a stylized human figure at the center. The globe is depicted with a grid-like pattern, suggesting a network or global connection. The human figure is abstract, with arms raised, symbolizing outreach or global unity. The logo has a grayscale color scheme.
The Supercath 5 (26G) has a safety system. Pressing an activation button results in retracting the metallic introducer needle into a safety cover. This safety system enables to avoid needle-stick accident and further exposure of blood or body fluid attached to the introducer needle.
Some versions of the Supercath 5 (26G) have a built-in check valve which together with a healthcare professional's finger pressure on a blood vessel assists to reduce blood flashback during and after the retraction of the metallic introducer needle to the safety cover until the connection of an infusion or transfusion set to the catheter hub. The built-in check valve is not intended to stop bleeding completely.
Comparison to the Predicate device h.
The Supercath 5 (26G) is the line extension of the predicate device Supercath 5 cleared under K140419 (14 -24G). As shown in the table below, the subject device (2GG) has the same indications for use and the same design, material, and technological characteristics as the predicate device.
The primary difference between these devices is the gauge size. However, it is considered that this difference does not effect on the indications for use of the Supercath 5 (26G) because their general design, material, and technological characteristics are the same.
