The summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML technologies.
No
The device is a catheter designed for hemodialysis and apheresis, which are treatment procedures, but the catheter itself is a vascular access device and not directly therapeutic.
No
The device is a hemodialysis catheter, used for chronic vascular access to perform treatments, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter made of polyurethane with a retention cuff and luer adapters, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the Symetrex™ Long Term Hemodialysis Catheter is a device designed for vascular access for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis treatments. This involves inserting a catheter directly into the bloodstream for the purpose of filtering blood or removing specific components.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is to facilitate a medical treatment (hemodialysis/apheresis), not to perform a diagnostic test on a sample.
Therefore, the Symetrex™ Long Term Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
