Intended Use
The Nipro Safelet Cath is intended to be inserted into a patient's vascular system for short-term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously.
Device Description
The devices that we intend to market are intravascular catheters as described in 21 CFR 880.5200. These devices are identical to those already marketed by Exel International, Inc. under K895768. Two types of catheters will be available: the container case types L (long) and S (short). Type L catheters have needles 11/2 to 21/2 inches long and Type S have needles 3/4 to 11/4 inches long. Six gauges of catheters are described here (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 gauge). The tip of the cannula is beveled. The proximal end of the catheter has a filter cap.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard intravascular catheter and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is an intravascular catheter used for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids intravenously, which are diagnostic and supportive functions, not explicitly therapeutic.

No

The device is intended for sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, or administering fluids. While blood sampling and blood pressure monitoring can be part of a diagnostic process, the device itself is a tool for obtaining data or delivering treatment, not for interpreting data to provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an intravascular catheter, which is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be inserted into a patient's vascular system for direct interaction with the body (sampling blood, monitoring blood pressure, administering fluids). This is an in-vivo (within the living organism) application.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an intravascular catheter, which is a device used within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly interact with the body's systems in the way a catheter does.
