No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a balloon dilatation catheter) and its intended use and testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of arteries and treatment of obstructive lesions, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is a balloon dilatation catheter used for therapeutic purposes (e.g., PTA, stent deployment/optimization) rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter, which is a hardware component.

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 therapeutic procedures (PTA, treatment of obstructive lesions, stent deployment/optimization) performed directly on the patient's body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed to be placed over guidewires within the body. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Courier™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 876.5010 Biliary catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
