Intended Use
The GT Leggiero Catheter is intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels up to and including the cervical vessels, all vessels in the lower and upper extremities and all coronary vessels. The GT Leggiero Catheter is also intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and the infusion of embolic materials for hemostasis. The Catheter should not be used in cerebral vessels.
Device Description
The GT Leggiero™ Catheter is a multilayer single-lumen catheter 100-150cm in length with a maximum injection pressure of 450 psi. The catheter shaft is reinforced the entire length by helically-cut stainless steel piping. The distal 15cm is fine-worked for high flexibility. The catheter is 2.9Fr. size (~0.96mm in outer diameter) and can be used with a guiding catheter 0.047" (1.20mm) or larger inner diameter. The catheter shaft has an inner diameter of ~0.6mm to admit a 0.018" or smaller sized guide wire. The catheter has a hydrophilic polymer coating on the outer surface with the exception of 30cm from its proximal end. A radiopaque marker (~0.8mm) is incorporated in the catheter tip for increased radiopacity.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical catheter and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is intended for the infusion of substances and not for treating or curing a medical condition.

No

The GT Leggiero Catheter is intended for the infusion of substances like contrast media, drugs, or embolic materials, which are interventional or therapeutic uses, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific dimensions, materials (stainless steel, polymer coating), and physical properties (flexibility, tensile strength, pressure rating). This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the infusion of substances (contrast media, drugs, embolic materials) directly into blood vessels. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it's performed within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, which is a tool for accessing and delivering substances within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is used inside the body for therapeutic and diagnostic imaging purposes (by delivering contrast).
