No
The description mentions a microprocessor-controlled circuit and firmware for monitoring functions, but there is no indication of AI or ML being used for decision-making, pattern recognition, or adaptive behavior. The functions described are standard for controlling electromechanical systems.
Yes
The device is intended to "remove/aspirate fluid and break-up soft emboli and thrombus from the peripheral vasculature" and "subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostics or therapeutics." These actions directly address a medical condition (thrombus removal) and deliver substances for treatment or diagnosis, which are characteristic functions of a therapeutic device.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is intended to "subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostics or therapeutics with or without vessel occlusion," implying it can deliver diagnostics, not perform diagnostics itself. The bulk of the device description details its function as a thrombectomy system for removing/aspirating fluid and breaking up emboli and thrombus. It does not describe any diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a catheter, pump set, saline drive unit, accessory cart, vacuum pump, and various connectors and tubing. While the SDU contains a microprocessor and firmware, the system is fundamentally a hardware-based device with integrated software control.
Based on the provided information, the JETi 88 Peripheral Thrombectomy System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "remove/aspirate fluid and break-up soft emboli and thrombus from the peripheral vasculature" and "subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostics or therapeutics". This describes a therapeutic and interventional procedure performed within the patient's body (in vivo).
- Device Description: The description details a system designed to physically interact with and remove material from blood vessels. It involves a catheter, pump, and aspiration mechanism. This is consistent with a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information. The device's function is mechanical and fluid-based, aimed at clearing blockages.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The JETi 88 system does not fit this definition.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The JETi 88 Peripheral Thrombectomy System is intended to:
- remove/aspirate fluid and break-up soft emboli and thrombus from the peripheral vasculature, and
- subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostics or therapeutics with or without vessel occlusion.

Device Description
The JETi 88 Peripheral Thrombectomy System consists of one aspiration catheter, which is connected to the JETi 88 Pump Set, one JETi 88 Peripheral Saline Drive Unit (SDU), and an Accessory Cart. A Sterile Accessory Kit and Non-Sterile Accessory Device are supplied. In use, thrombus enters the distal catheter tip via the suction force provided by the vacuum pump. The peripheral SDU and pump set deliver a stream of sterile saline through the secondary lumen to break up and dilute the thrombus within the catheter. The diluted thrombus and saline are drawn back through the primary lumen and deposited into the vacuum pump receptacle. No saline is injected into the patient during normal operation. The peripheral SDU, an adjustable mounting arm, a mounting bracket for vacuum canisters, an IV pole and a vacuum pump are contained on an accessory cart.
The peripheral catheter is a multi-lumen device that allows for simultaneous hydro-mechanical thrombus disruption and thrombus aspiration. It is designed to simultaneously deliver a stream of saline via a displacement pump within the distal tip of the catheter, while aspirating thrombotic material macerated by the saline stream.
The peripheral catheter has the ability to infuse fluid through the aspiration lumen and saline lumen.
For infusion through the aspiration lumen, an appropriate sized syringe filled with fluid is infused to the treatment area by passing through the side arm of the rotating hemostasis valve (RHV) that is attached to the catheter.
For infusion through the saline lumen, a clamp is used on the suction tubing to cut off vacuum.
The proximal end of the pump set consists of a spike and an in-line drip chamber that is used to pierce the saline bag and connect the pump set to the saline source. The cassette contains a piston pump and is mounted onto the peripheral SDU. The cassette is powered by the motor contained in the peripheral SDU. The distal end of the pump set has a connector, which mounts to the proximal end of the multi-port Luer adapter of the peripheral catheter and delivers the saline to the peripheral catheter.
The peripheral SDU is a reusable device. The fork drive of the peripheral SDU is designed to run the piston pump contained in the pump set to deliver the stream of saline to the peripheral catheter, when activated by the foot pedal. Vacuum is achieved with a vacuum pump, turned on/off with the pinch valve on the side of the SDU, which is also controlled by the foot pedal. The vacuum sensor is connected to the vacuum tubing, which is connected to the multi-port connector of the peripheral catheter. The peripheral SDU contains a microprocessor controlled circuit and firmware that monitors various functions of the motor and vacuum to assure that the device is functioning as expected. Various colored LED lights on the front panel indicate to the user what the current status is of the SDU. Energy is provided by a 24 volt external power supply, which is connected to mains power.
