Intended Use
The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is intended to provide access for passage of dialysate during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) such as Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). If the patient is a suitable candidate for (PD) therapy, the Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter can be implanted either surgically or peritoneoscopically. The only contraindication to implantation of the Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is if the patient is not a candidate for peritoneal dialysis. Numerous prior surgeries or suspected or documented intraperitoneal adhesions may be relative contraindications to PD. However, since the Y-TEC® System of peritoneoscopic implantation enables inspection of the peritoneum to confirm the presence of adhesions and to avoid them, all patients who are suitable for PD can receive this catheter.
Device Description
The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is extruded of medical long-term implantable silicone basically identical to the existing Tenckhoff peritoneal catheters. All these peritoneal catheters include one or two Dacron® cuffs, the "deep" cuff in the abdominal musculature and the "superficial" cuff near the skin exit site of the catheter. Ingrowth of fibrous tissue over a few weeks period results in a thick fibrous plug preventing passage of bacteria around the Dacron® cuff. The coiled or straight intraperitoneal portion of the Tenckhoff catheter contains multiple 1.0 mm holes. During infusion of PD fluid, most of the flow is through the tip of the catheter. During outflow of the fluid, the soft surfaces of the peritoneum over bowel loops and omentum may be drawn to the tip; however, outflow continues through the multiple side holes. The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter has been developed with a thin trans-abdominal tube connecting in an inverted "T" shape to a cylindrical portion which changes to longitudinal flutes (grooves) for ports, which rest against the parietal peritoneum. The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter can be inserted via conventional surgical methods or via the Quill® Guide of the Y-TEC® peritoneoscopic system, which is used to insert the standard Tenckhoff dialysis catheters. The fixed position of the intraperitoneal portion of this catheter is designed to prevent outward migration of the deep and superficial cuffs, avoiding pericatheter hernias, pericatheter leaks, and erosion and infection of the subcutaneous cuff. Though this Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is a novel design for peritoneal catheters used in dialysis, it actually represents a simple combination of two catheters which are currently utilized in medical practice for peritoneal access. The portion of the catheter outside the peritoneum is exactly like the Tenckhoff catheter, with deep and superficial cuffs. The fluted portion within the abdomen is exactly like a drain used to remove fluid from the peritoneum after surgery, the Blake™ Drain by Johnson & Johnson. The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is extruded of medical long-term implantable silicone basically identical to existing catheters and drains. The extrusions are bonded to form the inverted "T" which is then reinforced with molded silicone.

{"explanation": "A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device, a peritoneal catheter, is described as providing 'access for passage of dialysate during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD)'. While it is part of a therapeutic process (dialysis), the catheter itself is a delivery/access device and not directly applying therapy to the patient. It does not treat or prevent disease, but rather facilitates a process that does. It provides access for the dialysate, which is the therapeutic agent, but is not the therapy itself."}

No.
The device is a peritoneal catheter intended to provide access for passage of dialysate during chronic peritoneal dialysis. It is a long-term implantable device used for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, implantable catheter made of silicone with Dacron cuffs and a specific design for fluid flow, 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 provide access for the passage of dialysate during chronic peritoneal dialysis. This is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed for implantation into the body to facilitate fluid exchange. It is a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an IVD.

§ 876.5630 Peritoneal dialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. (1) A peritoneal dialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions, and that consists of a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments.
(3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles.
(4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.

The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter has been developed with a thin trans-abdominal tube connecting in an inverted "T" shape to a cylindrical portion which changes to longitudinal flutes (grooves) for ports, which rest against the parietal peritoneum. The Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter can be inserted via conventional surgical methods or via the Quill® Guide of the Y-TEC® peritoneoscopic system, which is used to insert the standard Tenckhoff dialysis catheters. (See "Implantation Instructions" in Appendix B.) The fixed position of the intraperitoneal portion of this catheter is designed to prevent outward migration of the deep and superficial cuffs, avoiding pericatheter hernias, pericatheter leaks, and erosion and infection of the subcutaneous cuff.

Though this Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is a novel design for peritoneal catheters used in dialysis, it actually represents a simple combination of two catheters which are currently utilized in medical practice for peritoneal access.

Intended Use

If the patient is a suitable candidate for peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy, the Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter can be implanted either surgically or peritoneoscopically. The only contraindication to implantation of the Ash Advantage™ Peritoneal Catheter is if the patient is not a candidate for peritoneal dialysis. Numerous prior surgeries or documented intraperitoneal adhesions may be relative contraindications to PD. However, since the Y-TEC® system of peritoneoscopic implantation enables inspection of the peritoneum to confirm the presence of adhesions and to avoid them, all patients who are suitable for PD can receive this catheter.
