Intended Use
The Kendall Curity Thoracentesis Tray is intended to be used to drain fluid from the pleural cavity.
Device Description
The proposed Kendall Curity Thoracentesis Tray is a sterile, single use procedural tray containing the components required to perform a thoracentesis. This submission covers proposed changes to the aspirating needle and thoracentesis catheter. An ergonomically designed polycarbonate hub will be insert molded onto the needle cannula and a polyurethane hub insert molded onto the catheter shaft. In addition, the catheter shaft material will change from Teflon® to polyurethane. There will be no changes to the current dimensions or performance specifications. In addition, a new product code will incorporate Kendall's thoracentesis catheter-over-needle with an automatic valve that acts to occlude the proximal end of the catheter lumen. The valve is an integral part of the catheter. Once the needle is withdrawn from the valve, a spring mechanism occludes the catheter lumen.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on material and design changes to a mechanical device (needle, catheter, valve) and does not mention any computational or data-driven components.

No
The device is used for draining fluid, which is a diagnostic or interventional procedure, not a therapeutic treatment itself.

No

The device is intended to drain fluid, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic action.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like needles, catheters, hubs, and a valve, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to drain fluid from the pleural cavity." This is a direct medical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a procedural tray containing components for performing a thoracentesis, which is a physical procedure. The components described (needles, catheters, valves) are all instruments used in this procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical/procedural tool.

Summary of Performance Studies

Biocompatibility testing was performed on the needle hub, catheter and automatic valve following ISO-10993 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. This testing found the material contained no toxic diffusible substances.

Functional/Mechanical testing was performed to determine hub pull-off force, potential for leakage, and siphoning capability of the automatic valve.
