No
The summary describes a standard intravascular catheter and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is described as an intravascular catheter used for sampling blood or administering solutions. While it facilitates medical procedures, it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself, which is the primary characteristic of a therapeutic device. It is an access device.

No
The device description indicates it is used for sampling blood or administering solutions, not for diagnosis. It's an access device, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical intravascular catheter, which is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to sample blood or administer fluids intravenously. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic or diagnostic sampling purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is an intravascular catheter designed for insertion into veins. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples, perform tests on biological specimens, or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is entirely focused on accessing the vascular system within the body.

Dear Mr. Welle:

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, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions However, you are responsible to determine that the of Act. medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510 (k) of the act), or were on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. 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.
