Intended Use
The A-Med Vascular Cannula is intended for use in accessing the circulatory system during extracorporeal circulation. The A-Med Vascular Cannula is intended for intraoperative access to the arterial (i.e., aorta, femoral artery or pulmonary artery) or venous system. (i.e., femoral vein, right atrium) during procedures requiring arterial or venous access for short term extracorporeal support (less than six hours). Arterial or venous access is left to the discretion of the physician.
Device Description
The A-Med Vascular Cannula is a cannula comprised of a flexible tip, radiopaque stripes, wire reinforced tubing, non-reinforced proximal clamp zone, and a proximal connector. Configurations are available with the following options: - . Outer diameter: 24 French - . Effective length: 10, 21 inch - Number of holes in tip: 8, 16, 32, 44 (dependant on length) ● - Proximal connector: barb, barb with side luer lock, quick connect ●
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and non-clinical performance of a vascular cannula, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a vascular cannula used for accessing the circulatory system during extracorporeal circulation, which is a supportive function and not explicitly identified as a therapeutic treatment itself.

No

The device is a cannula intended for accessing the circulatory system for extracorporeal support, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device (cannula) with specific material and structural components, not a software-only product.

Based on the provided information, the A-Med Vascular Cannula is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "accessing the circulatory system during extracorporeal circulation" and "intraoperative access to the arterial or venous system." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a surgical or medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical cannula designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body. The A-Med Vascular Cannula is a tool for accessing the circulatory system, not for analyzing samples from it.
