The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and functional aspects of a multi-lumen catheter for guidewire management, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
The device is described as an "accessory catheter designed to assist with multiple wire introduction and control during endovascular procedures" for the implantation of branched stent grafts, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is an accessory catheter used to assist with guidewire introduction and control during endovascular procedures, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with multiple lumens and physical characteristics like length, radiopacity, and extension tubes. The performance studies also focus on physical testing of the catheter's properties.
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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter is a physical tool used within the body during endovascular procedures. Its purpose is to facilitate the introduction and management of guidewires for the implantation of stent grafts. It does not analyze any biological samples.
- Lack of Mention of Specimen Analysis: The description focuses on the mechanical function of the catheter and its use in guiding wires within blood vessels. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.
Therefore, the GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter is a surgical/interventional device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter (TLC) is a multi-lumen catheter indicated for use in endovascular procedures requiring multiple guidewires and through-and-through access, in which the catheter leading tip exits the patient, for the implantation of branched stent grafts. Standard techniques for placement of vascular access sheaths, catheters, and wires should be employed.

Device Description
The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter (TLC) is a 140cm long multi-lumen accessory catheter designed to assist with multiple wire introduction and control during endovascular procedures. The central lumen can accommodate one 0.035" guidewire or two 0.018" guidewires while the two auxiliary lumens can each accommodate one 0.014" quidewire. The trailing end of the device has two distinct extension tubes to assist in the introduction of the guidewires into the auxiliary lumens. The leading end of the device is radiopaque to assist in visibility under fluoroscopy. The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter is designed to minimize entanglement of multiple quidewires and facilitate through and through access during cardiovascular procedures with fewer snaring maneuvers.

Key Results: "The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter is substantially equivalent to the specified predicate device based on testing of the applicant device functionality, technological characteristics, and indication for use. The device design of the GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter has been verified by testing to the catheter requirements outlined in BS EN ISO 10555-1:2013 "Intravascular catheters - Sterile and single-use catheters - Part 1: General requirements". These tests included: Guidewire Compatibility, Catheter Tip Bond Strength, Radiopacity, Device Dimensions, Device Trackability, Device Pushability, Device Flushability. Based on the comparisons and information provided in this premarket notification, W.L. Gore & Associates concludes that the GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device in terms of indications for use, design, materials, biocompatibility, packaging, sterilization, labeling and performance."
Clinical Data: "No formal clinical study was conducted to specifically evaluate the performance of the GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter; however, the catheter was used as an accessory device during an Early Feasibility Study to evaluate the initial safety of an investigational aortic stent graft. As part of that early feasibility study, 13 patients were treated with an investigational device that required the use and management of multiple through-and-through guidewires. In each case, a GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter was used to establish the through-and-through access of the 0.014" and 0.035" guidewires from the brachial artery to the common femoral artery. The GORE® Tri-Lumen Catheter performed this task safely and effectively with no procedural or device related events reported as a result of using the catheter."

Dear Michael Ivey:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.
