No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.

No
The device description indicates it is used for positioning and tunneling catheters/ports, not for treating a disease or condition itself. It is an accessory device rather than a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device description indicates that it is used for the positioning of catheters and ports, which is a procedural/surgical function rather than obtaining diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of biosafe materials and an angled stainless steel shaft, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used for the physical placement of implantable drug delivery ports and catheters within the body (subcutaneously). This is a surgical or procedural use, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a physical tool (angled stainless steel shaft) used for tunneling. This aligns with a surgical instrument, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, 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 purely mechanical and procedural.

§ 880.5970 Percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.(b)
