No
The document describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its intended use for administering fluids. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies described are standard physical and visual testing for a medical device.

Yes

The device, a Soft Tip Multi-Lumen Catheter, is inserted into the venous system for the administration of blood products, parenteral nutrition, I.V. fluids, or drugs. These applications are for medical treatment or support, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as being for "administration of blood products, parenteral nutrition, I.V. fluids or drugs," which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Soft Tip Multi- Lumen Central Venous Catheter," which is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is "inserted into the venous system for the administration of blood products, parenteral nutrition, I.V. fluids or drugs." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic or supportive purposes.
  • Device Description: The description reiterates the same intended use, emphasizing insertion into the venous system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs are used outside the body to analyze these specimens.

Therefore, the Soft Tip Multi-Lumen Catheter, as described, is a medical device used for direct patient care and administration of substances into the body, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
