Intended Use
ASC Maxi-Torque Plus Softip Angiographic Catheters are designed to deliver contrast medium to selected sites in the vascular system.
Device Description
The ASCMPSACs are classified as Class II in 21 CFR §870.1200. The ASCMPSACs are sterile, single use, disposable devices, that are delivered non-toxic and non-pyrogenic. The ASCMPSACs consist of five components: catheter hub with luer connector, catheter shaft, catheter stem, soft distal tip, and catheter shaft braid wire. The catheter shaft has three sub-components: extrusion base coat, reinforcement braid wire, and extrusion top coat. The braiding is intended to provide torque control and strength. All versions of the catheter are designed to accommodate a maximum guidewire diameter of 0.038 inches. The strain relief is imprinted with three descriptive dimensions: the French size of the catheter, minimum inside diameter, and the catheter working length.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and material compatibility of a physical catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
This device is designed to deliver contrast medium for diagnostic imaging, not to treat a condition. While it is used in a medical procedure, its function is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "designed to deliver contrast medium to selected sites in the vascular system." Delivering contrast medium is a common step in diagnostic imaging procedures to visualize anatomical structures.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a catheter hub, shaft, stem, tip, and braid wire, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver contrast medium to selected sites in the vascular system." This is a therapeutic or interventional use, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical insertion into the vascular system. This aligns with a medical device used for procedures, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to deliver a substance within the body, which is a different category of medical device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The ASCMPSACs comply with the following standards, practices, and guidances:

  • Sterile, single-use intravascular catheters: International Standards Organization Reference Number 10555-1:1995(E) (1995)
  • Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Chlorhydrin, and Ethylene Glycol, Proposed . Maximum Residue Limits and Maximum Levels of Exposure, 21 CFR, § 821.100, Proposed Rule, June 23, 1978
  • Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 7: Ethylene oxide sterili-. zation residuals, American National Standard, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7:1995
  • Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, ISO-10993-1
    The ASCMPSACs are substantially equivalent to catheters which are legally marketed by the Cordis Corporation under the Infiniti™ and TorquePlus™ trademarks. This has been demonstrated by extensive bench testing of both devices. Testing includes jacket tensile strength, stem tensile strength, flow rate, dynamic burst strength and static burst strength. Furthermore, the devices have the same technological characteristics as the Cordis Infiniti™ and TorquePlus™ Angiographic Catheters. All direct and indirect blood contact materials used to fabricate the ASCMPSACs pass the testing required by ISO-10993. These materials are currently used in many disposable medical devices.

Identification of a Legally Marketed Predicate Device

The ASC French Maxi-Torque Plus Softip Angiographic Catheters (ASCMPSACs) are substantially equivalent to catheters that are manufactured and marketed by the Cordis Corporation under the Infiniti™ and TorquePlus™ trademarks.

Device Description

The ASCMPSACs are classified as Class II in 21 CFR §870.1200. The ASCMPSACs are sterile, single use, disposable devices, that are delivered non-toxic and non-pyrogenic. The ASCMPSACs consist of five components: catheter hub with luer connector, catheter shaft, catheter stem, soft distal tip, and catheter shaft braid wire. The catheter is shown below.

Image /page/0/Figure/8 description: The image shows a diagram of a medical instrument. The instrument has several parts, including a hub, strain relief, shaft, stem, and soft tip. The shaft is long and thin, and the stem is curved. The soft tip is located at the end of the stem.

The catheter shaft has three sub-components: extrusion base coat, reinforcement braid wire, and extrusion top coat. The braiding is intended to provide torque control and strength.

All versions of the catheter are designed to accommodate a maximum guidewire diameter of 0.038 inches. The strain relief is imprinted with three descriptive dimensions: the French size of the catheter, minimum inside diameter, and the catheter working length.
