No
The summary describes a simple mechanical needle set and makes no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an "access device" and a "needle set" for dialysis and pheresis procedures, which are medical treatments, but the device itself is for access and insertion, not the therapeutic delivery or direct treatment of a condition. Its function is to facilitate the connection for the therapy, not to provide the therapy itself.

No
The device description indicates it is an "access device for dialysis and pheresis procedures," focusing on needle insertion and cannulation, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like a needle/cannula, flexible tube, and locking connector, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for accessing the body for dialysis and pheresis procedures. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for treatment/procedure, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a needle set for physical access, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other biological samples, which is the core function of an IVD.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description

The Medisystems Buttonhole Needle Set consists of a hollow, rigid needle/cannula, a flexible tube, and locking connector to provide access through the skin at a constant or "buttonhole" site. Different degrees of point sharpness are offered to accommodate creation of the buttonhole site and cannulation through an established buttonhole site.
The technical characteristics of the Medisystems Buttonhole Set consist of a rigid needle cannula mounted on a hub with wings or finger grips to allow insertion through the skin. The needle hub is bonded to a flexible tube and locking connectors that allow attachment to other compatible medical devices.
Different degrees of needle sharpness are offered. The sharp version of the Medisystems Buttonhole Needle Set is used to allow the initial creation of a scar tunnel or buttonhole. The duller versions are used for repeated access through the buttonhole site. The duller point and cutting surfaces of the needle/cannula minimize cuts in the adjacent tissue, enlargement of the hole, and bleeding along the needle's path.

(a)
Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.
(2) The nonimplanted blood access device consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, cannulae or hollow needles, which are inserted into appropriate blood vessels or a vascular graft prosthesis (§§ 870.3450 and 870.3460), and are intended to remain in the body for less than 30 days. This generic type of device includes fistula needles, the single needle dialysis set (coaxial flow needle), and the single needle dialysis set (alternating flow needle).
(3) Accessories common to either type include the shunt adaptor, cannula clamp, shunt connector, shunt stabilizer, vessel dilator, disconnect forceps, shunt guard, crimp plier, tube plier, crimp ring, joint ring, fistula adaptor, and declotting tray (including contents).
