No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a guiding catheter) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.
No
The device is a guiding catheter used to introduce other interventional devices, and for pressure monitoring and contrast agent injection, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The device, a guiding catheter, primarily functions to provide a pathway for other interventional devices and for pressure monitoring and injection of contrast, which are procedural support functions rather than diagnostic.
No
The device description and performance studies clearly indicate that this is a physical guiding catheter, a hardware medical device, not a software-only device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly states that the AVE guiding catheters are designed for use in the vascular system to provide a pathway for other devices and allow pressure monitoring and contrast injection. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application.
The device is a surgical/interventional tool used directly within the patient's body, not for testing samples taken from the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
AVE guiding catheters are designed for use in the vascular system. Their primary function is to provide a pathway through which dilatation systems and other interventional devices are introduced. AVE Guiding catheters also allow pressure monitoring and injection of contrast agents.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
AVEM conducted tensile, stiffness, burst, torque, and natural frequency testing. The test results demonstrate that the GL-1 Guiding Catheter is substantially equivalent to the AVEM Mainstay™ Guiding Catheter, the ACS Guidant Viking™ Guiding Catheter, the Cordis Brite™ Tip Guiding Catheter and/or the Schneider Guider™ Guiding Catheter.
AVEM also conducted the following biocompatibility tests in compliance with ISO 10993: acute intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, hemolysis, material-mediated pyrogen and sensitization test. All tests demonstrated that the GL-1 Guiding Catheter is biocompatible.
Shelf-life testing on the GL-1 Guiding catheter and its packaging demonstrates that the device and packaging meet all performance specifications within its labeled shelf-life expiration date.
Based on the results of the above testing, AVEM concludes that the AVE GL-1 Guiding Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

- F. Technological Characteristics Summary
The AVEM GL-1 Guiding Catheter is similar to the AVEM Mainstay guiding catheter regarding materials, construction, packaging and sterilization.
The indications for use are also similar to the AVEM Mainstay catheter and both the ACS Guidant Viking and the Cordis Brite Tip Giding catheters.
The proposed GL-1 indications for use are:
A VE guiding catheters are designed for use in the vascular system. Their primary function is to provide a pathway through which dilatation systems and other interventional devices are introduced. AVE guiding catheters also allow pressure monitoring and injection of contrast agents.
Similar to the Mainstay Guiding catheters, the GL-1 Guiding catheter will be available in 6 French - 8 French, and will be offered in various curve styles.
G. Performance Data
A VEM conducted tensile, stiffness, burst, torque, and natural frequency testing. The test results demonstrate that the GL-1 Guiding Catheter is substantially equivalent to the AVEM Mainstay™ Guiding Catheter, the ACS Guidant Viking™ Guiding Catheter, the Cordis Brite™ Tip Guiding Catheter and/or the Schneider Guider™ Guiding Catheter.
AVEM also conducted the following biocompatibility tests in compliance with ISO 10993: acute intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, hemolysis, material-mediated pyrogen and sensitization test. All tests demonstrated that the GL-1 Guiding Catheter is biocompatible.
