Intended Use
The catheter is intended to be used for the controlled infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents and contrast media into the neurovascular and peripheral systems.
Device Description
The EASY RIDER® Micro Catheter is a single lumen infusion catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guide wire into distal vasculature. The EASY RIDER® Micro Catheter has a hydrophilic coating to provide lubricity for navigation of vessels. A standard luer lock adapter on the proximal hub is used for the attachment of accessories. The catheter tip is indicated by a radiopaque marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization.

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a catheter for infusion, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a catheter for the controlled infusion of therapeutic agents, not as a therapeutic agent itself or as performing a therapeutic function directly, but rather as a delivery mechanism.

No
The device is described as an "infusion catheter" intended for the "controlled infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents and contrast media," which points to a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, hydrophilic coating, luer lock adapter, and radiopaque marker, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "controlled infusion of physician specified therapeutic agents and contrast media into the neurovascular and peripheral systems." This describes a device used within the body for treatment or imaging, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopic visualization is used to guide the placement of the catheter within the body. IVDs typically analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used in the "Neurovascular and peripheral systems," which are parts of the human body. IVDs analyze samples taken from the body.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used directly on the patient for therapeutic or imaging purposes.
