Intended Use
The guiding catheter is intended for use for intravascular introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary or peripheral vascular systems.
Device Description
The Vista Brite Tip Guiding Catheters are single lumen catheters which features a nylon body reinforced with a tightly wound stainless steel braid wire. The braid wire extends from the hub into the Brite Tip segment. The transition segments of the catheters are designed with nylons of different durometer (stiffness) to provide a gradual decrease in material stiffness from the catheter body to the tip. The Brite Tip segment, located at the catheters' tip, is Pellethane® with a radiopaque filler, this is the softest material in the catheter.

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with material components (nylon, stainless steel braid wire, Pellethane®) and a specific physical structure, 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 clearly states the device is for "intravascular introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary or peripheral vascular systems." This describes a device used within the body for delivering other devices, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for navigation within blood vessels. This aligns with an in-vivo (within the body) medical device, not an in-vitro diagnostic.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnosing conditions by examining samples outside the body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This guiding catheter's function is purely mechanical and procedural within the vascular system.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

I. General Provisions:

Common or Usual Name: Percutaneous Catheter Proprietary Name: Cordis Vista Brite Tip®

Name of Predicate Devices: IL

Cordis Vista Brite Tip Cordis Endovascular Systems, ENVOY Guiding Catheters

  • Class II III. Classification
  • Performance Standards: Performance standards have not been established by the FDA IV. under section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

V. Indication For Use and Device Description

  • Vista Brite Tip: The guiding catheter is intended for use for intravascular Indications: introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary or peripheral vascular systems.
  • Description: The Vista Brite Tip Guiding Catheters are single lumen catheters which features a nylon body reinforced with a tightly wound stainless steel braid wire. The braid wire extends from the hub into the Brite Tip segment. The transition segments of the catheters are designed with nylons of different durometer (stiffness) to provide a gradual decrease in material stiffness from the catheter body to the tip. The Brite Tip segment, located at the catheters' tip, is Pellethane® with a radiopaque filler, this is the softest material in the catheter.

VL Biocompatibility:

All appropriate biocompatibility tests for the guiding catheters were successfully completed.

VII. Summary of Substantial Equivalence:

The Cordis Guiding Catheters are similar in design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available guiding catheters.
