Intended Use
BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheters are intended to be inserted into a patient's peripheral vascular system for short term use to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. These devices may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy, procedure being performed, fluids being infused, and duration of therapy. These devices are suitable for use with power injectors set to a maximum pressure of 325 psi (2240 kPa).
Device Description
BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheters are over-the-needle, intravascular (IV) catheters. These devices include a radiopaque BD Vialon™ catheter, needle, grip, passive safety needle shield, and flash chamber with removable vent plug. The needle and catheter are protected by a needle cover. These devices have BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology, allowing for immediate visualization of blood along the catheter. The flash chamber provides confirmation that the device has entered the vessel. The needle tip is passively protected when the needle is removed, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injury. These devices are available with or without multi-access BD Multiguard™ Technology, which is designed to stop the flow of blood from the catheter hub until a Luer connection is made. Once a connection is made, fluids or blood can flow through the catheter hub in either direction. These devices are available with or without wings. The catheter hub and wings are color coded to indicate the catheter gauge size (24 GA (0.7 mm) = Yellow, 22 GA (0.9 mm) = Blue, 20 GA (1.1 mm) = Pink, 18 GA (1.3 mm) = Green, 16 GA (1.7 mm) = Grey). These devices are not made with natural rubber latex.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties of the IV catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is used for administering fluids, which is a therapeutic action, but it is an IV catheter, specifically for accessing the vascular system, not a device that itself provides therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is an IV catheter used for administering fluids, sampling blood, or monitoring blood pressure. While blood sampling can be part of a diagnostic process, the device itself does not perform any diagnostic function (e.g., analyzing the blood or interpreting physiological signals). It is a tool for accessing the vascular system.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, needle, grip, shield, and flash chamber, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for insertion into a patient's peripheral vascular system for purposes like sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device for accessing the vascular system (catheter, needle, safety features). It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to access the body, not to analyze samples from it.

Therefore, the BD Cathena™ Safety IV Catheter is a medical device used for accessing the vascular system, not an IVD device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance tests completed on the subject device were limited to those tests required to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. When technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices were found to be identical, results of performance testing conducted on the predicate device were applied to the subject device. The performance tests listed below were conducted to ensure that the subject device meets pre-determined design requirements:

  • BD Internal Studies
    • Force to break adhesion between catheter unit and needle (initial o adhesion)
    • Force to remove needle from catheter unit (average system drag) o
    • Catheter separation force o
    • Blood escape time O
    • Procedural leak time O
  • Testing per ISO 10555-1:2014 ●

The following data testing was leveraged from the predicate device:

  • . Testing per ISO 10555-5:2013 and ISO 23908:2011
  • EO residuals per ISO 10993-7:2008 ●
  • . Sterilization validation per ISO 11135:2014

A biocompatibility evaluation, in accordance with 1) ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, and 2) FDA guidance Use of harmonized Standard ISO 10993-1. "Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (issued June 16, 2016) was conducted. Based on the assessment, biocompatibility data was leveraged from the predicate devices.

Per design control requirements specified in 21 CFR 820.30, the subject devices met all predetermined acceptance criteria for the above-listed performance tests, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
