Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a physical medical device (a dilator) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is used for the percutaneous introduction of guide wires, which is a diagnostic or interventional preparatory step, not a therapeutic action itself. It facilitates access to the vascular system rather than treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a dilator used for the percutaneous introduction of guide wires into the vascular system. Its function is procedural (introducing wires), not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "coaxial dilator set" consisting of physical components (inner and outer dilators), 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 clearly states the device is used for the percutaneous introduction of guide wires into the vascular system. This is a procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description of the coaxial dilator set as physical instruments used for insertion further supports its use in a medical procedure on a living patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Re: K974640 Coaxial Dilator Set Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 DRE Dated: December 11, 1997 December 15, 1997 Received:

Dear Ms. Carpinella:

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 (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 Regulations, 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.
