No
The summary describes a simple drainage catheter with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
A therapeutic device is used to treat a disease, injury, or condition. This device is used to drain fluid, which is a supportive function, but not a direct treatment or therapy.

No

The device is a catheter designed for fluid drainage, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not provide information for identifying the nature or cause of a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "polyvinyl chloride tube," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Chase Thoracic Catheter is a device used during and after surgery to drain fluid from the pericardium (the sac around the heart). It is a physical tool used within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a surgical drainage device, not a diagnostic test.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
