The description focuses on processing and displaying ECG waveforms using intravascular ECG (ivECG) and does not mention any AI or ML techniques for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is used for confirming catheter tip placement, not for treating a disease or condition. It is a diagnostic/positioning tool.

No

This device is used for confirming the precise placement of a catheter, not for diagnosing a medical condition. While it utilizes the patient's cardiac electrical activity, it primarily serves a procedural guidance and confirmation function rather than identifying a disease or pathological state.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate the presence of hardware components (ECGuide™ Connector, PM2 system) and associated hardware verification and validation.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Piccolo Medical PM2™ System with ECGuide™ Connector works by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity (intravascular ECG) to determine the position of a catheter tip within the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for positioning and confirming the location of a central venous catheter tip, not for diagnosing a disease or condition based on analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
