No
The summary describes a mechanical introducer device with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms or concepts.

No
The device is an introducer for various cardiovascular catheters or biopsy devices, facilitating their entry into the heart. It does not actively treat a condition.

No
Explanation: The device is an introducer sheath used for guiding other catheters or devices into the heart. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic, as it does not analyze or provide information about the patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a radiopaque sheath, dilator, hemostasis valve, and sideport with a stopcock, 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 to introduce catheters or biopsy devices into the heart. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device used for accessing the heart, including a sheath, dilator, valve, and sideport. These are all components for a medical procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnosing a condition based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool for accessing an anatomical site for other medical procedures.

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

The clinical literature has demonstrated that the use of an introducer to perform endomyocardial biopsy and cardiac catheterization may reduce the complications associated with this procedure. Literature supports the use of these products from both venous and arterial access Similar commercially available catheter introducers have been successfully used for sites. introducing various cardiovascular catheters and biopsy devices into the heart from both the arterial and venous access sites. In addition, Daig's Fast-Cath™ Transseptal Catheter Introducers (Reference Device) are routinely used on the septal side of the heart via transseptal access.
