The summary describes a standard PICC catheter and its physical characteristics, intended use, and performance testing against a predicate device. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a PICC catheter used for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, blood infusion, and power injection of contrast media, all of which are considered therapeutic or diagnostic procedures in a clinical setting.
No
This device is a catheter used for therapy (intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, blood sampling) and provides access to the central venous system. It is not described as being used to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyurethane, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Biowy PICC catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and power injection of contrast media." This describes a device used within the body for therapeutic and diagnostic imaging purposes, not for testing samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in-vivo medical device, not an in-vitro diagnostic.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on these samples outside of the body, which are the hallmarks of IVD devices.
Therefore, the Biowy PICC catheter is an in-vivo medical device, specifically a catheter for accessing the central venous system.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Biowy PICC catheter is indicated for short or long term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and power injection of contrast media. For blood sampling, infusion or therapy, use 4 French or larger catheter. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5ml/sec for power injection of contrast media. The maximum pressure of power injectors used with the Biowy catheter may not exceed 300psi.

Device Description
The Biowy PICC catheters are opened-ended radiopaque polyurethane catheters are sterile and for single use. They are available in 4F single lumen with 55cm usable length and 5F dual lumen with 60cm usable length. The catheters have a reverse taper design. Catheter shaft is marked with depth indicators, with "0" indicated to serve as a reference for the catheter taper point. Catheters are provided sterile in radiology and nursing configurations for single use. Colorants were added to the catheter shaft and hub to differentiate components. The extension leg, junction and clamp were printed with markings to identify the catheter and to include information to facilitate proper use of the device.

Dear Andre Muller:
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.

*Power Injection 10x: The subject device is additionally evaluated for worst-case scenario of 10x power injection. This difference of the power injection, flow rate and the burst pressure do not raise issues of safety and efficacy because the subject device is examined using the same ISO 1055-1 standard testing requirement as the predicate. The results fall within the limits allowed in the standard (ISO 10555-1).
The subject device (single lumen 4F and dual lumen 5F) are examined using the same testing requirements as the predicate. Therefore, the configuration difference does not raise issues of safety and efficacy.
The comparison above shows substantial equivalence of the subject device and the predicate.

Brief discussion of the non-clinical tests submitted for a determination of substantial equivalence:
Biowy has provided Performance Testing.
The Biowy PICC Catheters are designed, and made of the same polymer materials, use similar technological manufacturing methods, and have the same intended use as the predicate devices (PowerPICC Catheters).
Differences in technological characteristics (including flow rate, burst pressure, lumens, and the distal end configurations) of the device compared to the predicate do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Biowy has evaluated the differences using the same test requirements as the predicate device. The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in specifications comparison.

8. Conclusion
The Biowy PICC catheters (Model number PICC4SK and PICC5DK) has similar indications or use, technological characteristics and they meet all the predetermined performance acceptance criteria of the testing performed. Therefore, the devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device the C.R. Bard 5 Fr DL PowerPICC® catheter, K051672.
