No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics, materials, and intended use of a drainage catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
This device is for drainage, which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function (i.e., it doesn't directly treat a disease). Its primary function is to remove excess fluid/blood, which might aid in recovery but isn't a direct treatment itself. Also, the predicate device is a drain, not typically classified as therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Catheter for drainage of blood and fluid" and "Silicone perforated tubing", which indicates it is used for therapeutic drainage, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, hardware-based medical device (silicone tubing, adapter, etc.) and does not mention any software component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "Catheter for drainage of blood and fluid from mediastinum after chest surgery and/or trauma; for use with suction apparatus." This is a device used within the body for drainage, not for testing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any reagents, assays, or testing procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

This device is a surgical drain, used for therapeutic purposes within the body.

§ 878.4200 Introduction/drainage catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An introduction/drainage catheter is a device that is a flexible single or multilumen tube intended to be used to introduce nondrug fluids into body cavities other than blood vessels, drain fluids from body cavities, or evaluate certain physiologic conditions. Examples include irrigation and drainage catheters, pediatric catheters, peritoneal catheters (including dialysis), and other general surgical catheters. An introduction/drainage catheter accessory is intended to aid in the manipulation of or insertion of the device into the body. Examples of accessories include adaptors, connectors, and catheter needles.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
