The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a sheath introducer set, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
No
The device is described as an introducer set, intended for the percutaneous introduction of other cardiovascular devices. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than directly treating a condition itself.
No
The device is an introducer set used for accessing the left side of the heart, which is a procedural/interventional function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a sheath, dilator, valve, side port, and stopcock, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
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 the "percutaneous introduction of various cardiovascular devices into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum." This describes a surgical or interventional procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, needle) used for accessing a specific anatomical location within the body. This is consistent with a medical device used in a procedure, not a reagent or instrument for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, 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's function is to facilitate access for other devices during a cardiac procedure.

Device Description
The Arrow Transseptal Super Arrow-Flex Percutaneous Sheath Introducer Set consists of a long radiopaque wire-reinforced sheath and dilator with curved distal tips for positioning against the atrial septum.. The introducer sheath contains an integral hemostasis valve and side port with a three-way stopcock. The dilator accommodates a curved transseptal needle (18ga. needle for adults and 19ga. needle for pediatrics) and has a long gradual tapered tip that steps up to the OD for ease of insertion.
