More Information

Not Found

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 a guide catheter used to introduce other interventional devices, rather than directly treating a condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices, facilitating access for treatment rather than diagnosis. While it uses fluoroscopy for visualization, this is for guiding the interventional device, not for diagnostic imaging of the anatomy itself.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of metal coils/braids and medical grade polymers, with a luer fitting, hydrophilic coating, and radiopaque marker. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate other medical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for navigation within blood vessels. It describes its construction, features like a hydrophilic coating and radiopaque marker, and compatibility with guidewires and other devices. This is consistent with a medical device used for intervention, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This catheter does not perform any of these functions.
