Intended Use
The SCIMED 6 French IMPULSE™ Angiographic Catheters are designed to provide a pathway to be used for delivering contrast media to selected sites in the vascular system during an angiographic procedure.
Device Description
The 6 French SCIMED IMPULSE Angiographic Catheters are single lumen catheters which will be available in Selective, Pigtail and Multipurpose models. The shafts of all models utilize common biocompatible materials and consist of the following three layers: 1) The inner layer provides a smooth surface to allow for dye delivery and ease of guide wire movement. 2) The middle layer provides torque control, kink resistance and support, and 3) The outer layer provides stiffness and curve retention. Radiopaque materials are utilized in the outer layer to allow visualization of the catheter during the procedure. A Pigtail Straightener is available to aid the physician in straightening the Pigtail curve while being introduced into the introducer sheath.

The summary describes a physical catheter and its materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is designed to deliver contrast media for diagnostic angiographic procedures, not to treat a condition or disease.

No
The device is used to deliver contrast media during an angiographic procedure, which facilitates visualization but does not directly diagnose.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with multiple layers and materials, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a pathway to be used for delivering contrast media to selected sites in the vascular system during an angiographic procedure." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into the vascular system. This is consistent with an in vivo device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Functional testing consisted of pressure burst, tip bond tensile, hub tensile, dye flow, tip coefficient of friction, force transmitted by catheter tip, torque response and torque to fail. Test results verified that the 6 French IMPULSE Angiographic Catheters are adequate for their intended use. The 6 French IMPULSE Angiographic Catheters are considered substantially equivalent to angiographic catheters currently marketed by SCIMED based on a comparison of intended use, the design and the results of in-vitro testing and evaluation.
