No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics, materials, and performance testing of a catheter. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for "intravenous therapy" and "prolonged exposure to intraluminal solutions containing up to 70% ethanol," which are therapeutic applications.
No
This device is a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) used for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and blood sampling. Its function is to provide access to the central venous system for treatment delivery, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device is a physical catheter made of polyurethane, designed for insertion into the central venous system. The description details its material, dimensions, and physical components, and the performance studies focus on physical and biological properties. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided text, the device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and prolonged exposure to intraluminal solutions containing up to 70% ethanol." This describes a device used within the body for delivering substances and accessing the circulatory system.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter inserted into the body, made of medical-grade polyurethane, and designed for infusion, blood sampling, and power injection. These are all in-vivo applications.
- Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites (central venous system, Superior Vena Cava) are internal to the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the 5 FR DL Piper PICC Catheter is an in-vivo medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The 5 French (FR) Dual Lumen (DL) Piper PICC is a single use peripherally inserted central catheter made from a specially-formulated medical grade polyurethane material.
The Piper PICC is designed to perform infusion, intravenous therapy, blood sampling and power injection of contrast media, and is compatible with intraluminal solutions containing up to 70% ethanol. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/sec.
The Piper PICC is a 5 French catheter with two 18-gauge lumens and will be provided with 55cm of effective length. The catheter has a reverse-tapered design. The catheter is inserted peripherally by the clinician and is trimmable to fit different patient sizes. It is inserted with a Seldinger or modified-Seldinger technique with compatibility to guidewires up to 0.019" in outer diameter. The catheter distal tip is positioned in the lower 1/3 of the Superior Vena Cava (SVC). The effective length of the catheter including the distal end is radiopaque, which allows for catheter tip visualization.
The Piper PICC catheter includes an extruded polyurethane catheter shaft molded to an injection molded polyurethane hub with extruded extension legs molded to luer-lock fittings, which provide attachments for IV administration. The junction has suture wings to allow for securement to the patient. Clamps are attached to both extension legs on the catheter.
The distal end of the catheter shaft is a dual lumen symmetrical D-shape design that does not differ in material from the remainder of the shaft. With the exception of the reverse-tapered section of the shaft, the distal end is also dimensionally identical to the remainder of the shaft.
The proximal end of the catheter consists of two power injectable extension legs, which each have a luer lock style connection depicting gage size, thumb clamp, ID tag. The catheter has an average priming volume is 0.61 mL
The Piper PICC is packaged in a catheter only kit and provided sterile to the end user. There are no additional components in the kit.

The Bard 5F Dual Lumen PowerPICC provides a point of comparison and is one of the most commonly used PICC products throughout the world, and has proven acceptable clinical performance with over a decade of use. Further justifying the acceptability of the 5F Dual Lumen is the fact that it is the device to which the cited predicate device claimed substantial equivalence. During evaluations reported within this 510k submission, it has been shown that the subject device performs equivalent to, or better than, the reference device with respect to thrombogenic potential.
Key results: The 5 FR DL Piper PICC met all of the predetermined acceptance criteria derived from the standards and guidance listed above. Risk management of the subject device was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971:2007, Medical Devices – Risk Management for Medical Devices. Testing performed on the subject device demonstrates the device meets the requirements and is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Dear Jay Muse:
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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

Technological Characteristics and Comparison to the Predicate Device
Both the subject device and predicate are intended for short- or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy and blood sampling. The subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements: Intended use, mechanism of action, placement technique and insertion site, duration of use/dwell time, distal tip placement. design features, dimensions, power injection, sterility, packaging, sterilization, and biocompatibility.
The differences between the subject device and cited predicate include:
- Materials: The Piper PICC is comprised of Quadrasil, a siliconized aromatic polycarbonate ● polyurethane which differs from the material used in the predicate. The material was evaluated using the same test standards as the predicate devices. Performance testing demonstrated that the material meets the mechanical testing and biocompatibility requirements and demonstrated resistance to intraluminal exposure to 70% ethanol.
The following table shows a comparison of the technological characteristics between the Piper PICC and the cited predicate in sufficient detail to provide an understanding of the basis for determining substantial equivalence.
