Intended Use
The Bard Vascular Graft Sizer is designed to assist the physician in determining the relationship between the inner and outer diameter of the patient's blood vessel and the appropriate vascular graft diameter. The ruler may also aid in determining vessel/graft lengths.
Device Description
This vascular graft sizer is a caliper-type design consisting of two parts: a graft sizer scale and a graft sizer pointer. These are joined together with an eyelet to allow the pointer to rotate. This device may measure inner diameter (I.D.) Of a blood vessel from 6mm to 38mm and the outer diameter (O.D.) From 2mm to 38mm. In addition, on the opposite side, there is a 9cm ruler, graded to a 1mm scale.

No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical caliper and ruler for manual measurement. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven processes that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is a measuring tool (graft sizer) used to determine appropriate graft dimensions, not to directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is designed to measure the dimensions of blood vessels and grafts, which is a measurement tool for surgical planning. It does not diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "caliper-type design consisting of two parts: a graft sizer scale and a graft sizer pointer," indicating it is a physical, hardware device.

No, this device 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Bard Vascular Graft Sizer is a physical tool (a caliper-type design with a ruler) used to measure the dimensions of blood vessels and grafts during a surgical procedure. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on those samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist a physician in determining the appropriate size of a vascular graft based on physical measurements of the blood vessel. This is a procedural aid, not a diagnostic test.

The device is a surgical instrument used for measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”

F. Technological Characteristics Summary

Both the Bard graft sizer and the Meadox graft sizer are intended to be used in assisting the physician in measuring a patient's blood vessel(s) in order that he/she may select a vascular graft of appropriate size. Both devices are hand held, manually operated devices which obtain measurements by aligning the edges of the device to the inner or outer edge of the vessel, however, the Bard Graft Sizer is of a different design and is manufactured using slightly different materials than the Meadox Graft Sizer. For a comparison of the two device designs and material characteristics see Table VI-I below.
