No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical catheter used for mechanical support and delivery of fluids. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

No
The device facilitates other procedures by supporting a guidewire, assisting in guidewire exchange, and delivering solutions, rather than directly treating a medical condition itself.

No

The device is a support catheter used during vascular interventions, primarily for guidewire support, exchange, and delivery of solutions/agents. While it can deliver "diagnostic contrast agents," its function is not to diagnose conditions itself, but rather to facilitate procedures where diagnostic imaging may be performed using those agents. The device itself does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly identifies it as a physical catheter, which is a hardware component, not software.

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, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Spectranetics Support Catheter is an intravascular catheter. It is used within the body to support a guidewire, assist in guidewire placement, and deliver solutions. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates it's a device used directly in a vascular intervention procedure, not for laboratory testing of samples.
