The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical performance of a transseptal introducer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The Transseptal Introducer is an accessory device used for introducing other catheters into the heart. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is an introducer used to facilitate the insertion of other cardiovascular catheters into the heart. Its purpose is to create access, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a sheath, dilator, and guidewire, and the performance studies focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
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. They perform tests outside the body.
- Device Function: The Transseptal Introducer is a surgical tool used inside the body to facilitate the insertion of other catheters into the heart. It is a delivery system, not a diagnostic test.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart." This is a procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components and how it's used to create access within the heart. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the Transseptal Introducer is a medical device used in a surgical procedure, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Transseptal Introducer consists of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath, a dilator with a lubricious hydrophobic coating, and an uncoated introducer guidewire in a dispenser. The transseptal introducer comes in two French sizes, 8F and 8.5F, two lengths, 63cm and 81cm, and two curves, LO (50°) and L1 (40°, 51°). The components of the Transseptal Introducer include the transseptal sheath, transseptal dilator, introducer guidewire with dispenser, sterile packaging and labeling. There are eight model numbers: TSIL0863, TSIL1863, TSIL0881, TSIL1881, TSIL08563, TSIL18563, TSIL08581, and TSIL18581. The Transseptal Introducer is sterilized by 100% ethylene oxide cycle and is for single-use only. The Transseptal Introducer is used in a healthcare facility/hospital.
The Transseptal Introducer is used in transseptal procedures to introduce cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart after transseptal access was achieved with a transseptal needle and dilator. The device is used by inserting the device through the femoral vein in conjunction with a transseptal needle. The introducer guidewire is inserted through the femoral vein and guides the needle up to the fossa ovalis in the right atrium. The needle punctures the fossa ovalis and the dilator is used to insert and dilate the fossa further where the needle has punctured. This allows the sheath to cross and creates access to the left side of the heart. The introducer's duration in the body is less than 24 hours.

Description of the Devices
The Transseptal Introducer consists of a high-density polvethylene (HDPE) sheath, a dilator with a lubricious hydrophobic coating, and an uncoated introducer quidewire in a dispenser. The transseptal introducer comes in two French sizes, 8F and 8.5F, two lengths, 63cm and 81cm, and two curves, LO (50°) and L1 (40°, 51°). The components of the Transseptal Introducer include the transseptal sheath, transseptal dilator, introducer guidewire with dispenser, sterile packaging and labeling. There are eight model numbers: TSIL0863, TSIL1863, TSIL0881, TSIL1881, TSIL08563, TSIL18563, TSIL08581, and TSIL18581. The Transseptal Introducer is sterilized by 100% ethylene oxide cycle and is for single-use only. The Transseptal Introducer is used in a healthcare facility/hospital.
The Transseptal Introducer is used in transseptal procedures to introduce cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart after transseptal access was achieved with a transseptal needle and dilator. The device is used by inserting the device through the femoral vein in conjunction with a transseptal needle. The introducer quidewire is inserted through the femoral vein and guides the needle up to the fossa ovalis in the right atrium. The needle punctures the fossa ovalis and the dilator is used to insert and dilate the fossa further where the needle has punctured.
