Intended Use
The PowerPort™ Implantable Port is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system. The port system can be used for infusion of medications including anti-cancer medicines (chemotherapy), I.V. fluids, parenteral nutrition solutions, blood products, and for the withdrawal of blood samples. When used with the PowerLoc™ Safety Infusion Set, the PowerPort™ device is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/s.
Device Description
The PowerPort™ implantable ports, including ECG Enabled Implantable Ports, are implantable access devices designed to provide repeated access to the vascular system. Port access is performed by percutaneous needle insertion using a non-coring needle. Power injection is performed using a PowerLoc™ Safety Infusion Set only. The PowerPort™ implantable port consists of two primary components: an injection port with a self-sealing silicone septum and a radiopaque catheter. Single lumen PowerPort™ implantable ports can be identified subcutaneously by feeling the top of the septum which includes three palpation bumps arranged in a triangle and by palpating the sides of the port, which is also triangular. Radiopaque identifiers for the PowerPort™ devices aid in identification as a BD power injectable port. The ECG Enabled Implantable Ports function identically to other PowerPort™ power-injectable ports with the option to use ECG instead of fluoroscopy during the implantation procedure for catheter advancement and tip location confirmation using the BD Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Positioning System (TPS) stylet and BD Sherlock 3CG+™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS). ECG technology provides real-time catheter tip location information and is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for central venous access device (CVAD) tip placement confirmation. When used with the BD Sherlock 3CG+™ TCS, the Sherlock 3CG™ TPS stylet also provides the placer real-time feedback on catheter tip location and orientation through the use of passive magnets and cardiac electrical signal detection. The Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) product and accessories are sold separately (refer to K180560, cleared 6/18/2018, for information on Sherlock 3CG+™ product and accessories).
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical components of the implantable port and the use of ECG technology for tip positioning, which is a signal processing technique, not AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the document.

No.
The device facilitates the delivery of therapies and withdrawal of blood, but it does not directly perform the therapy itself.

No.
The PowerPort™ Implantable Port is designed for delivering substances (medications, fluids, nutrition) into the vascular system and withdrawing blood samples. While the ECG Enabled Implantable Ports can aid in catheter tip location during implantation using ECG, the primary function of the port itself is not to diagnose a medical condition in the patient. The ECG function is for placement assistance, not patient diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implantable access device" consisting of physical components like an "injection port with a self-sealing silicone septum and a radiopaque catheter." While it utilizes software (the BD Sherlock 3CG+™ TCS) for tip confirmation, the core device itself is hardware.

Based on the provided information, the PowerPort™ Implantable Port is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for repeated access to the vascular system for infusion of various substances and withdrawal of blood samples. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system, not the examination of samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable access device designed to be placed within the body.
  • Function: Its primary function is to provide a point of access for administering or withdrawing substances from the vascular system. While it can be used for withdrawing blood samples, the device itself is not performing a diagnostic test on those samples. The diagnostic testing would occur separately in a laboratory setting.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the port and its use in accessing the vascular system. There is no mention of analyzing samples or performing tests on them outside the body.

In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. The PowerPort™ facilitates the collection of such specimens, but it does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself.

Device Description:

The PowerPort™ implantable ports, including ECG Enabled Implantable Ports, are implantable access devices designed to provide repeated access to the vascular system. Port access is performed by percutaneous needle insertion using a non-coring needle. Power injection is performed using a PowerLoc™ Safety Infusion Set only. The PowerPort™ implantable port consists of two primary components: an injection port with a self-sealing silicone septum and a radiopaque catheter. Single lumen PowerPort™ implantable ports can be identified subcutaneously by feeling the top of the septum which includes three palpation bumps arranged in a triangle and by palpating the sides of the port, which is also triangular. Radiopaque identifiers for the PowerPort™ devices aid in identification as a BD power injectable port.

The ECG Enabled Implantable Ports function identically to other PowerPort™ power-injectable ports with the option to use ECG instead of fluoroscopy during the implantation procedure for catheter advancement and tip location confirmation using the BD Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Positioning System (TPS) stylet and BD Sherlock 3CG+™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS). ECG technology provides real-time catheter tip location information and is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for central venous access device (CVAD) tip placement confirmation. When used with the BD Sherlock 3CG+™ TCS, the Sherlock 3CG™ TPS stylet also provides the placer real-time feedback on catheter tip location and orientation through the use of passive magnets and cardiac electrical signal detection. The Sherlock 3CG™ Tip Confirmation System (TCS) product and accessories are sold separately (refer to K180560, cleared 6/18/2018, for information on Sherlock 3CG+™ product and accessories).

Indications for Use of Device:

The PowerPort™ Implantable Port is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system. The port system can be used for infusion of medications including anticancer medicines (chemotherapy), I.V. fluids, parenteral nutrition solutions, blood products, and for the withdrawal of blood samples.

When used with the PowerLoc Safety Infusion Set, the PowerPort device is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 ml/s.
