No
The description focuses on robotic control and manipulation of devices based on physician input, not on automated decision-making or learning from data. The "computer controlled movements" are driven by the physician's joystick/touch screen input, not by AI/ML algorithms.
Yes
The device is described as "intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters during percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures," which are interventional procedures aimed at treating conditions.
No
The device is described as a robotic system for remotely delivering and manipulating guidewires and catheters during interventional procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components like the Bedside Unit (Extended Reach Arm, Robotic Drive, Single-use Cassette) and the Remote Workspace (Control Console, monitors, foot pedal). While software is involved in controlling these components, the device is fundamentally a robotic system with significant hardware elements.
Based on the provided information, the CorPath GRX System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for the "remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters during percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures." This describes a device used during a medical procedure on a patient, not a device used to test samples outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The description details a robotic system used to assist physicians in performing interventional procedures. It involves manipulating instruments within the patient's body under fluoroscopic guidance. This is consistent with an in-vivo medical device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
In summary, the CorPath GRX System is a robotic system designed to assist in performing medical procedures on patients, which falls under the category of an in-vivo medical device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The CorPath GRX System is intended to allow physicians to deliver and manipulate commercially available guidewires, rapid exchange catheters and guide catheters during percutaneous coronary and vascular intervention procedures. During the use of the CorPath GRX System, the physician maneuvers interventional devices using intuitive controls under independent angiographic fluoroscopy visual guidance using computer controlled movements while in a seated position away from the radiation source.
The CorPath GRX System is composed of the following two functional sub-units:
-
- Bedside Unit Which consists of the Extended Reach Arm, Robotic Drive and Single-use Cassette
-
- Remote Workspace - Which consists of the Control Console, angiographic monitor(s), hemodynamic monitors, X-ray foot pedal, and optional Interventional Cockpit.
Commercially available guidewires, rapid exchange catheters, and guide catheters are loaded into the Singleuse Cassette. By using the joysticks or the Control Console touch screen, the physician can control the Robotic Drive to advance, retract, and rotate the guidewire, advance and retract the rapid exchange catheter, and advance, retrace, and rotate the guide catheter. The Robotic Drive and Control Console communicate via a single communication cable.
