Intended Use
The Quest Vessel Catheter is intended for use in cardiovascular surgical procedures to test the integrity of vein grafts prior to attachment to coronary arteries, and to facilitate antegrade cardioplegia administration directly down the vein graft following completion of the distal anastomosis.
Device Description
Saphenous vein cannulae are used during cardiopulmonary bypass to test the integrity of vein grafts prior to attachment to the coronary arteries and to facilitate antegrade cardioplegia administration directly down the vein graft following completion of the distal anastomosis. The harvested vein graft must be tested for leaks or weakened areas prior to attachment to the coronaries to assure a competent conduit. To accomplish this, a small vessel cannula with a tapered shaft is inserted into one end of the graft and secured with a suture. Barbs or bulbous tips on the shaft of the cannula prevent the tied vein from slipping off. The opposite end has a female luer fitting for attachment to a saline-filled syringe. The graft may then be inflated with the saline at low pressures to test for leaks. The surgeon cuts the graft to a suitable length and proceeds with attachment of the distal anastomosis. When indicated, the surgeon may decide to perfuse cardioplegia through the cannula-graft to the heart using a vein graft perfusion set attached to the cardioplegia delivery line. This allows nourishment to reach those areas of the heart that may not have been well perfused previously due to the arterial occlusion. Furthermore, the surgeon may use the cannula to assess the quality of the distal anastomosis by visual examination under pressure.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and function of a mechanical catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is used to test the integrity of vein grafts and facilitate cardioplegia administration, which are diagnostic and procedural support functions, not direct therapeutic treatment.

Yes
The device is used to "test the integrity of vein grafts prior to attachment to coronary arteries" and to "assess the quality of the distal anastomosis by visual examination under pressure," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (cannula body, duckbill valve) and dimensions, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for use in "cardiovascular surgical procedures" to "test the integrity of vein grafts prior to attachment to coronary arteries, and to facilitate antegrade cardioplegia administration directly down the vein graft." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure on a living patient, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device is used to inflate a vein graft with saline and perfuse cardioplegia directly into the graft. This is a direct intervention on a biological structure within the body, not an analysis of a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (like blood, tissue, etc.) or the use of reagents or assays typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are defined as those intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Quest Vessel Catheter does not fit this definition. It is a surgical tool used for a specific procedure.

Re : K971928 Quest Vessel Catheter Requlatory Class: II (Two) Product Code: DWF Dated: September 29, 1997 Received: September 30, 1997

Dear Ms. Oakes:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). 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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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.
