No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) for fluid delivery and details physical and biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for the delivery of "therapeutic agents" into the peripheral vasculature, which directly supports its role in therapy. While the device itself is a catheter, its intended use is to facilitate therapeutic processes.

No
The device is described as an infusion catheter for delivering therapeutic agents, not for diagnosing conditions. Its intended use and description focus on treatment delivery.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate that this is a physical catheter device, not a software-only device. The testing includes physical properties like dimensional inspection, bond strength, and animal testing.

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 delivery of therapeutic agents into the peripheral vasculature. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body), not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed to deliver fluids into the body. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, 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 device's function is to deliver substances into the body for treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Physical testing of the product under simulated conditions included: dimensional inspection, deployment and recoil verification, marker band attachment, infusion flow rate, internal pressurization, bond strength, flexural fatigue strength, radial force, trackability, and guide catheter compatibility. All testing results were within product engineering and marketing specifications.

Biocompatibility testing was performed on the sterile materials used in the construction of these infusion catheters. All materials passed the biocompatibility testing and are suitable for this application.

Animal testing was conducted to assess placement of the device in a vessel as well as thrombus accumulation on the device. All results were satisfactory.
