Device Description
The Versus™ Pulmonary Artery Catheter is a dual-tip infusion catheter. Two lumens access and deliver physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the pulmonary arteries of each lung via a single access site. The Secondary Catheter tip telescopes independently to facilitate infusion into the contralateral lung. The device may allow for assessment of a patient's hemodynamic condition through direct intracardiac and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. Pressure is measured through an interface between the catheter's fluid lumen and an externally located, FDA-cleared, pressure transducer. The device may include an additional lumen that is in communication with a distal flow-directed balloon.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical catheter for fluid infusion and pressure monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The device is intended for the infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, and for assessing a patient's hemodynamic condition, which are therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that it "may allow for assessment of a patient's hemodynamic condition through direct intracardiac and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring." This function directly contributes to diagnosing a patient's medical state.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with lumens, tips, and a balloon, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Versus™ Catheter 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.
  • Versus™ Catheter Function: The Versus™ Catheter is an invasive device inserted into the body (pulmonary artery vasculature) for the direct infusion of fluids and the direct measurement of pressure within the heart and pulmonary arteries. These are in-vivo procedures, not in-vitro tests on samples.

The device's intended use and description clearly indicate it is used within the patient's body for therapeutic (infusion) and diagnostic (pressure monitoring) purposes, not for testing samples outside the body.
