The summary describes a standard implantable vascular access system with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.
Yes
The device is described as providing "repeated access to the vascular system for both parenteral delivery of fluids and the withdrawal of venous blood," which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is an implantable access system used for parenteral delivery of fluids and withdrawal of venous blood, which are therapeutic and procedural functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes implantable hardware components (portal, catheter, connector).
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide repeated access to the vascular system for parenteral delivery of fluids and withdrawal of venous blood. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic and diagnostic sample collection purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The components (portal, catheter, connector) are designed for implantation and direct access to the vascular system.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any process for analyzing biological samples in vitro.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device facilitates the collection of a sample, but it doesn't perform the in vitro diagnostic test itself.

Device Description
The implantable segments of the TrimPort System and comparable devices are the portal, the radiopaque catheter, and a locking catheter connector. The TrimPort catheter is implanted into a large blood vessel so that fluids can be introduced or blood withdrawn without the necessity for repeated injections into the patient's vein. Once the implanted TrimPort is ready for use, the physician or nurse will cleanse the skin at the implantation site and will of narso will orcation by simply feeling the unobtrusive but clear outline of its top rim. A needle specific to this purpose will be inserted gently through the skin into the portal of the TrimPort, where it will remain throughout the fluid delivery-withdrawal process.

§ 880.5965 Subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter.
(a)
Identification. A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.(b)

Device Design, Testing, and Potential Adverse Occurrences:
We have reviewed a great quantity of information regarding our own and many competitive implantable vascular access systems. Based on our analysis, we feel that there are specific occurrences that would negatively affect the safety and effectiveness The following is a list of these potential of these devices. adverse occurrences and a summary of what we have done to minimize the risks.
-
- Catheter Disconnection:
We designed an excellent catheter locking mechanism that remains intact, even under extreme conditions. To ensure that the surgeon implanting our TrimPort assembles the locking device properly, we provide clear and complete instructions and diagrams in our "Instructions for Use".
- Catheter Disconnection:
-
- System Leak:
ﺮﺍ ﻴﻨﻴﻨﺎ ﺑﻨ
- System Leak:
We precisely engineered our TrimPort vascular access systems so that they perform properly (Re: two-way flow, leak tight), even under extreme misuse conditions. To ensure this, we mandate that all new designs must be able to pass each of our standard usage and extreme misuse tests. To minimize the possibility of misuse, we instruct those who access the device to use syringes that are 10cc or larger. This helps to prevent the emission of damaging pressure into Our recommendations to use 10cc or larger the system. syringes and not to exceed 40 psi when using the system is stated several times in our "Instructions for Use". Note that this is also a standard warning in the competitive instruction manuals we have reviewed.
