No
The summary describes a physical guiding catheter and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a guiding catheter used for the intravascular introduction of interventional devices, not for therapeutic intervention itself. It is an accessory to therapies, not a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a guiding catheter designed for the "intravascular introduction of interventional devices," which indicates a therapeutic or interventional purpose, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to detect, identify, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a guiding catheter, which is a physical medical device, and the performance studies describe physical tests on the catheter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "intravascular introduction of interventional devices." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a catheter used for guiding other devices within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the physical and mechanical properties of the catheter (bond strength, flexibility, flow rate, etc.), which are relevant to its function as a guiding device, not as a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

The following invitro performance tests were conducted with the SCHNEIDER GUIDER Softip® guiding catheters and approved predicate devices to show equivalence: bond strength tests, flexural rigidity, bodystock force delay, tip shape recovery, introducer resistance, inner liner ubricity, flow rate, pressure injection/leak test, output input torque to failure. Materials equilvalence was demonstrated through biocompatibility testing following ISO 10993-1 recommendations.

The results of these tests indicated that the SCHNEIDER GUIDER Softip® guiding catheters are equivalent to the previously approved predicate devices and are, therefore, safe for the intended use.
