The 510(k) summary describes a physical catheter device and its intended use for delivering medication. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based analytical capabilities. The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of the catheter.
Yes
The device is intended for the delivery of local anesthetics or narcotics to manage pain, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a catheter for delivering local anesthetics or narcotics to surgical wound sites and nerve trunks. Its function is drug delivery, not diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter and associated hardware components (catheter connector, over needle). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "continuous or intermittent delivery of local anesthetics or narcotics to surgical wound sites and nerve trunks outside of the epidural space." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic purposes (delivering medication).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into the body to deliver fluids. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to test samples like blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device's function is entirely different.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Intra Op Catheter is intended to provide continuous or intermittent delivery of local anesthetics or narcotics to surgical wound sites and nerve trunks outside of the epidural space. Routes of administration may be either, intraoperative, intramuscular, subcutaneous or percutaneous.

Device Description
The Intra Op Catheter is identical to the Teleflex Medical (TFX) Epidural Catheter (K840202, originally submitted by Aries Medical) with the exception of the inner diameter of the distal end of the catheter. Intra Op Catheter is manufactured by TFX using their current plastic formulation. The catheter has a closed end tip with multiple holes along the lateral surface at the distal end of the device.
The catheter package may contain a "T" Peel catheter over needle or a catheter connector (e.g. Touhy Borst) in addition to the catheter defined herein.
The catheter is designed to be distributed in two basic configurations. As shown in the catheter drawing (Dwg. No. 1120741 found in Appendix A), Detail G depicts the proximal end of the catheter with a catheter connector (Touhy Borst type) attached. An alternate configuration with a bonded or insert molded luer lock catheter connector is also shown in the drawing.

§ 880.5725 Infusion pump.
(a)
Identification. An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
