No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard guiding catheter and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device, a guiding catheter, is used to introduce other interventional devices and allows for pressure monitoring and injection of contrast agents, but it does not treat or cure a disease itself.

No
Explanation: The device, USCI® guiding catheters, is described as providing a pathway for other devices and allowing pressure monitoring and contrast injection. It is an interventional device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "guiding catheter," which is a physical medical device used in the cardiovascular system. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 designed for use in the cardiovascular system to provide a pathway for introducing other devices, monitoring pressure, and injecting contrast agents. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The description of the USCI® guiding catheter aligns with a medical device used directly within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
