No.
The device provides temporary access for medical procedures like hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion, rather than directly treating a medical condition itself.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a catheter used for temporary access for hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion, including central venous pressure monitoring and contrast media injection. These are therapeutic and access functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes physical, hardware components (polyurethane tubes, lumens, adapters, hubs, etc.) and the performance studies focus on biocompatibility and engineering testing of these physical attributes. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the catheters provide temporary access for procedures like hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion. These are all procedures performed on the patient, not tests performed on samples taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of catheters designed for insertion into veins. This aligns with a device used for direct patient access, not for analyzing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
