Intended Use
Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter: The Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter is indicated for the removal and thrombi from vessels in the arterial system. To remove fibrous or adherent material, alternative devices such as the Fogarty Adherent Clot and Graft Thrombectomy Catheter are recommended. Fogarty Biliary Balloon Probe: The Fogarty Biliary Balloon Probe is indicated for the removal of stones and ductal debris and exploration.
Device Description
Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter: The Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter consists of a catheter body tube made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or nylon (3F only) of 40, 60, or 80 cm lengths. The catheter contains a latex balloon at the distal end and a PVC hub at the proximal end for connection to a syringe for balloon inflation. They contain a soft, rounded tip, which promotes easy arterial insertion. The model with an “S” has a stylet at the proximal end to support the inflation lumen during shipping and storage.

No

The devices described, the Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter and the Fogarty Biliary Balloon Probe, are indicated for the removal of thrombi, stones, and debris, and for exploration. These are therapeutic and interventional actions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the devices being used to identify or determine a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as catheter bodies, balloons, hubs, and stylets, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of both the Fogarty Arterial Embolectomy Catheter and the Fogarty Biliary Balloon Probe is for the physical removal of material (thrombi, stones, debris) from within the body (arterial system, biliary ducts). This is a therapeutic or interventional use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with a balloon for mechanical manipulation within the body. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing samples of human origin in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.).
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
    • Any form of in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. These devices are used in vitro. The devices described here are used in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic purposes.
