Intended Use
Acute central venous catheters are indicated to provide short-term access (<30 days) to the central venous system. They are designed for administering I.V. fluids, blood products, drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions, as well as blood withdrawal, central venous pressure monitoring, and power injection of contrast media.
Device Description
A family of power injectable central venous catheters constructed of medical grade polyurethane and is designed for insertion into the central venous system. BD power injectable acute central lines are radiopaque, and have a soft tip that is more pliable than the catheter body. Each catheter is provided in a sterile package with applicable insertion kit accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard central venous catheter and its performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for administering fluids, blood products, drugs, and parenteral nutrition, as well as for blood withdrawal and central venous pressure monitoring, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions.

No

The description states the device is "designed for administering I.V. fluids, blood products, drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions, as well as blood withdrawal, central venous pressure monitoring, and power injection of contrast media." While it performs "central venous pressure monitoring," this is a measurement and not a diagnosis. The device's primary functions are for access and delivery, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a family of power injectable central venous catheters constructed of medical grade polyurethane, indicating it is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and tests of the catheter itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for accessing the central venous system for administering substances, withdrawing blood, monitoring pressure, and power injecting contrast media. These are all procedures performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into veins. This is a medical device used for direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a tool for accessing the body and delivering or withdrawing substances, not for analyzing samples.

Dear Dave Yungvirt:

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

Technological
Comparison
to Predicate
DeviceTechnological characteristics of the subject BD Acute Central Line are substantially equivalent with regard
to the basic design and function of the predicate device, Arrow Central Venous Catheter (K071538). Thepriming volumes, differ from the predicate device. However, these differences do not alter the intended use
of the subject device, and do not raise any new or different questions regarding safety or effectiveness
when compared to the predicate device.
Summary of
Substantial
EquivalenceBased on the risk management activities and testing, the subject BD Acute Central Line has been
demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the cited predicate device.

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and results of performance testing, the Conclusion: subject BD Acute Central Line has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
