Intended Use
The CEREGLIDE 42 Intermediate Catheter and the CEREGLIDE 57 Intermediate Catheter are indicated for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into a selected blood vessel in the neurovascular system. The CEREGLIDE 57 Intermediate Catheter is also indicated for use as a conduit for retrieval devices.
Device Description
Both the CEREGLIDE™ 42 Intermediate Catheter and CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheter (hereafter referred to as the CEREGLIDE™ 42 and CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheters) are variable stiffness, single lumen catheters designed to be introduced over a steerable guide wire or microcatheter into the neuro vasculature. The catheter shaft is composed of a stainlesssteel variable pitch braid with a PTFE inner liner to facilitate movement of guide wires and other devices. The exterior of the catheter shaft is covered with polymer materials, which encapsulate the stainless-steel braid construction. The catheter has a stiff proximal shaft which transitions into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The distal end of the catheter has a radiopaque marker band to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization and has a hydrophilic coating to provide lubricity to reduce friction during navigation in the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter has a luer fitting located on the catheter hub which can be used to attach accessories for flushing. An ID band is placed at the distal end of the hub over a strain relief. The catheter is packaged with a Tuohy Borst Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV) with a side port and two slit introducers as accessories. The RHV with side port is used for flushing and insertion of catheters. The slit introducers are designed to introduce the catheter into the base catheter and protect the distal tip of the catheter during insertion into the RHV of the base catheter.
More Information

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

No.
This device is an intermediate catheter used to facilitate the insertion and guidance of other interventional devices into blood vessels, and also as a conduit for retrieval devices; it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an intermediate catheter used for facilitating the insertion and guidance of interventional devices and as a conduit for retrieval devices. Its function is to assist in the delivery or removal of other instruments, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a catheter shaft, PTFE inner liner, polymer materials, radiopaque marker band, hydrophilic coating, luer fitting, and accessories like a Tuohy Borst Rotating Hemostasis Valve and slit introducers. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the insertion and guidance of interventional devices into blood vessels in the neurovascular system and to act as a conduit for retrieval devices. This is a direct intervention within the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical navigation within blood vessels. It describes features like a lumen for guide wires, a radiopaque marker for visualization during the procedure, and a hydrophilic coating for smooth movement. These are all characteristics of a device used for in-vivo procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

In summary, the CEREGLIDE Intermediate Catheters are medical devices used for interventional procedures within the neurovascular system, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Both the CEREGLIDE™ 42 Intermediate Catheter and CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheter (hereafter referred to as the CEREGLIDE™ 42 and CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheters) are variable stiffness, single lumen catheters designed to be introduced over a steerable guide wire or microcatheter into the neuro vasculature. The catheter shaft is composed of a stainlesssteel variable pitch braid with a PTFE inner liner to facilitate movement of guide wires and other devices. The exterior of the catheter shaft is covered with polymer materials, which encapsulate the stainless-steel braid construction. The catheter has a stiff proximal shaft which transitions into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The distal end of the catheter has a radiopaque marker band to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization and has a hydrophilic coating to provide lubricity to reduce friction during navigation in the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter has a luer fitting located on the catheter hub which can be used to attach accessories for flushing. An ID band is placed at the distal end of the hub over a strain relief. The catheter is packaged with a Tuohy Borst Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV) with a side port and two slit introducers as accessories. The RHV with side port is used for flushing and insertion of catheters. The slit introducers are designed to introduce the catheter into the base catheter and protect the distal tip of the catheter during insertion into the RHV of the base catheter.
