Intended Use
The Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter with a stainless steel and nitinol reinforced shaft to provide support. The embedded stainless-steel flat wire cross coil is in the proximal section of the catheter, which transitions to a nitinol round wire single coil in the distal end. The catheter has a radiopaque platinum/iridium marker band on the distal end to aid in visualization. The distal 25 cm of the Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter has a hydrophilic coating which reduces the insertion force and allows the catheter to traverse the vasculature more easily. The catheter has a nominal outer diameter of 0.084 inches and a nominal inner diameter of 0.071 inches. It is available in three working lengths: 95 cm, 100 cm, and 105 cm. The Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter has a PTFE-lined lumen to reduce friction with other devices introduced through the lumen. It is intended to provide access to the target site via transradial access and, once in place, provides a reinforcing conduit for other intravascular devices. A radial access dilator is included as an accessory. The Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter is supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a guide catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a guide catheter used to introduce other interventional devices and provide a conduit, rather than directly treat a medical condition itself.

No

The device is a guide catheter used to introduce other interventional devices into the vasculature and reinforce them. It does not gather information for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various material components (stainless steel, nitinol, PTFE, platinum/iridium), dimensions, and physical properties. It also includes a dilator accessory. This is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the introduction of interventional devices into the vasculature. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate medical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed to be inserted into blood vessels. It does not describe a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is to provide access and support for other devices. It does not perform any tests or analyses on biological samples to diagnose a condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Rist™ 071 Radial Access Guide Catheter does not fit this definition.
