Intended Use
The P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device is intended to be used in conjunction with the SmanNeedle® Monitor for general vascular use. The SmanNeedle® Monitor will also be marketed as the P.D. Access™ Monitor; and the Monitor graphics and labeling will be changed to reflect the name. Other than the name, the Monitors will be equivalent. There will be no change in safety and efficacy. The P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device is indicated and intended for general vascular use for monitoring the flow of blood within the vasculature. The indications and intended use for of the P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device are the same as predicate devices manufactured by CardioVascular Dynamics (the SmartNeedle").

More Information

No
The summary describes a device for monitoring blood flow using ultrasonic technology and makes no mention of AI or ML. The focus is on equivalence to predicate devices and basic performance testing.

No
The device is intended for "monitoring the flow of blood within the vasculature," which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device is described as monitoring the "flow of blood within the vasculature," which is a monitoring function, not a diagnostic one that identifies an illness or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is used "in conjunction with the SmanNeedle® Monitor" and mentions "Product specifications, components and materials". The performance studies also include "dimensional, strength, ultrasonic performance and biocompatibility testing," which are indicative of hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general vascular use for monitoring the flow of blood within the vasculature." This involves direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system to monitor a physiological process (blood flow).
  • Device Description: The device is used in conjunction with a monitor and is described as a "Device" and "Needle," suggesting it's a physical instrument used for accessing the vasculature.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The mention of "Ultrasonic" suggests the device likely uses ultrasound technology to monitor blood flow in vivo (within the living body).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "vasculature," which is part of the living body.

In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices, by definition, are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device operates within the body to monitor a physiological function.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)

There are many commercially available Doppler Devices indicated for monitoring of blood flow within the general vasculature which were marketed prior to promulgation of the Medical Device Amendments (May 28, 1976) or have been found substantially equivalent to pre-enactment devices. The P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device is intended for use in the same manner. In particular, the P.D. Access™ / SmartNeedle® Device is equivalent in indications and intended use to devices manufactured by CardioVascular Dynamics, formerly manufactured by Advance Cardiovascular Systems (ACS).

The SmartNeedle® Doppler Monitor was originally listed by Advanced Cardiovascular Systems (ACS) under document number A877515. The SmartNeedle Introducer Needle for Doppler Monitoring was originally listed by Advanced Cardiovascular System (ACS) under document number A877516. These devices were delisted by ACS, July 19, 1996. The SmanNeedle® Doppler Monitor is registered by CVD under document number A899719 and the SmartNeedle Introducer needle for Doppler monitoring under document number A999797. This is substantiated in the Comparison Table. Product literature is included.
