The summary describes a standard intravascular catheter with a passive safety feature and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is used for diagnostic and administrative purposes (sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, administering fluids) rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is an intravascular catheter used for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. While blood sampling and blood pressure monitoring can provide data that is used in diagnosis, the device itself does not perform a diagnostic function; it is a tool for obtaining samples or measurements.
No
The device description clearly states it is a disposable intravascular tube catheter composed of various physical components (cap, cannula, catheter tube, etc.) and has a passive needlestick safety feature. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is inserted into the patient's vascular system for direct interaction with the patient (sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, administering fluids). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
- Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the body. This is consistent with an in vivo (within the living organism) device, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or analysis of biological samples outside the body, which are hallmarks of IVDs.
This device is an intravascular catheter, which is a type of medical device used for direct patient care, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

#1. Discussion: Compared to the predicate product, the MF SAFECATH product is composed of different materials than the predicate device. These differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness because this difference is a minor design difference. The MF SAFECATH was tested according to the ISO 10993 series, which demonstrated the biological safety of the device.
#2. Discussion: The difference between the proposed device and the predicate device is an operation method of the needlestick safety function. The safety function of BD Insyte Autoguard is operated manually when the push-button is pushed. The safety function of MF SAFECATH is operated automatically when the catheter hub and the others are separated. The shield of MF SAFECATH is moved forward to cover the inner cannula. This difference does not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate. Both MF SAFECATH and BD Insyte Autoguard are designed to be stored inside the shield when the safety function is activated. MF SAFECATH contains a passive safety feature that automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter. In addition, the needle of the BD Insyte Autoguard is exposed before the push button is pressed, and the MF SAFECATH needle is located in the shield during all stages of use, which reduces the likelihood of needle stick injury. Also, the safety feature of MF SAFECATH has been tested in simulated clinical use test and demonstrated the safety function has been activated correctly.
09. Summary of Performance Tests
