Intended Use
The CHASE Curved Left Heart Vent Catheter is indicated for use in venting the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass with entrance made at the juncture of the right superior pulmonary vein with the left atrium and passing through the mitral valve.
Device Description
The vent catheter consists of a preformed, flexible plastic tube, (20 French), with a perforated section. A small tapered tip of rigid plastic is attached to the perforated section to aid in the insertion of the catheter. A rigid plastic tube connector for 6.4mm (1/4") I.D. tubing is permanently attached to the other end of the catheter tube. Marking rings on the tube serve as an indication of insertion depth.

No
The summary describes a simple mechanical catheter with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing.

Yes
The device is used to vent the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass. This function directly contributes to treating a patient's medical condition, qualifying it as therapeutic.

No
This device is a left heart vent catheter used during cardiopulmonary bypass to vent the left heart, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of plastic with a tube, tip, connector, and marking rings. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used for "venting the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass." This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not on a sample of the patient's body (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the heart. This is a surgical/interventional device, not a device used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used directly in a surgical procedure on the patient.
