Yes.
The device is used for the administration of fluids such as chemotherapy, antibiotics, and nutritional therapy, which are treatments for diseases or conditions.
No
This device is an implantable port designed for long-term access to the central venous system for administration of fluids and blood specimen withdrawal, which are therapeutic and access functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly details the physical components of an implantable port, including titanium port bodies, silicone catheters, and a polysulfone housing with a valve. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "long-term access to the central venous system for administration of fluids" and "blood specimen withdrawal." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for therapeutic and diagnostic sample collection purposes, not for performing diagnostic tests in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details an implantable port and catheter system designed to be placed within the body for direct access to the circulatory system. This is consistent with an in vivo device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples outside the body, which is the core function of an IVD. There is no mention of reagents, test strips, analyzers, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
The device is an implantable medical device used for accessing the central venous system for various medical treatments and for collecting blood samples. While blood samples collected using this device might be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, the device itself is not an IVD.

Device Description
Catheter Innovations, Inc. Implantable Ports are constructed using a combination of traditional implanted port/catheter technology which is well known in the art (over fifteen years of successful use), Bard Access Systems BardPort™ Implanted Ports with Groshong® catheters-hereafter referred to as BardPorts™ (over eleven years in use) and its own previously approved 510(k) technology. The Catheter Innovations ports, like the BardPorts™ and other traditional ports, are implanted within the body and are used for access to the circulatory system for repeatable or periodic infusion of fluids and/or aspiration of blood. Like many currently marketed ports the Catheter Innovations ports have smooth, contoured titanium port bodies with either one (single-lumen) or two (dual-lumen) independent reservoirs.
A radiopaque silicone catheter with one or two lumens is provided with each port body. The catheter may come attached to the port body by the manufacturer or un-attached depending on user preference. If the catheter comes attached to the port, at the time of use the health practitioner measures and cuts off the distal end of the catheter to the desired length. If the catheter is not attached to the port when it is purchased, the catheter is placed, then cut off at the proximal end to the desired length and attached to the port by the practitioner. The port is then placed in a small pocket made just under the skin. The port bodies are designed to facilitate secure seating and anchoring in the port pocket.
The port bodies are accessed by inserting a non-coring needle through the skin and into the self-sealing silicone septum which caps these reservoirs.
Both BardPorts™ and Catheter Innovations ports contain a thin silicone membrane within their construction. In both cases these membranes have a small slit or cut through them that acts as a valve. In the BardPorts™ this valve is located at the distal end of the attached catheter. In the Catheter Innovations ports the valve is located in a small plastic polysulfone housing which comes attached to the port body. The catheter is connected to this port through this housing. In both examples the valve is used to control the flow of fluids both into and out of the blood stream. The valve remains closed when the ports are not in use and when subjected to normal central venous pressures. When positive fluid pressure is applied through the reservoir, the valve opens, allowing infusion through the catheter. When negative pressure (aspiration) is applied, the valve opens, allowing for withdrawal of blood into a syringe.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance test results indicate Catheter Innovations ports are substantially equivalent to predicate device port/catheter combinations for all performance characteristics itemized in the "FDA Guidance on 510(k) Submissions for Implanted Infusion Ports." (October 1990)
Catheter Innovations performance characteristics related to port and valve function were compared to the predicate BardPort™ with Groshong® catheters. Comparison of all other Catheter Innovations port catheter performance characteristics were made to the range of values found for the performance of the predicate BardPort™ with Hickman® and Groshong® catheters. These comparisons indicate that the Catheter Innovations port with catheters performed equivalent to, or better than, the predicate devices for all performance characteristics studied.
Data indicates that the performance characteristics of the Catheter Innovations Port with valved catheters are equivalent or superior to the currently marketed BardPort™ Implanted Ports with Groshong® and Hickman® catheters while posing no new safety or efficacy issues.

Device Description Continued: 6.
A radiopaque silicone catheter with one or two lumens is provided with each port body. The catheter may come attached to the port body by the manufacturer or un-attached depending on user preference. If the catheter comes attached to the port, at the time of use the health practitioner measures and cuts off the distal end of the catheter to the desired length. If the catheter is not attached to the port when it is purchased, the catheter is placed, then cut off at the proximal end to the desired length and attached to the port by the practitioner. The port is then placed in a small pocket made just under the skin. The port bodies are designed to facilitate secure seating and anchoring in the port pocket.
The port bodies are accessed by inserting a non-coring needle through the skin and into the self-sealing silicone septum which caps these reservoirs.
Both BardPorts™ and Catheter Innovations ports contain a thin silicone membrane within their construction. In both cases these membranes have a small slit or cut through them that acts as a valve. In the BardPorts™ this valve is located at the distal end of the attached catheter. In the Catheter Innovations ports the valve is located in a small plastic polysulfone housing which comes attached to the port body. The catheter is connected to this port through this housing. In both examples the valve is used to control the flow of fluids both into and out of the blood stream. The valve remains closed when the ports are not in use and when subjected to normal central venous pressures. When positive fluid pressure is applied through the reservoir, the valve opens, allowing infusion through the catheter. When negative pressure (aspiration) is applied, the valve opens, allowing for withdrawal of blood into a syringe.
7. Statement of Indications for Use:
The Catheter Innovations ports are designed for patients who require long-term access to the central venous system for administration of fluids including but not limited to hydration fluids, antibiotics, chemotherapy, analqesics, nutritional therapy, and blood products. Thev are also indicated for blood specimen withdrawal.
The Catheter Innovations ports, the BardPorts™ (both with and without valve), and the numerous other approved intravascular port and catheter combinations have the same indications for use: long-term access to the central venous system for administration of fluids and for blood specimen withdrawal.
8. Summary of Technological Characteristics of Device in Relation to Predicate Device(s):
Physical characteristics of Catheter Innovations ports, compared to BardPorts™ with Groshong® and Hickman® catheters, demonstrate that the physical characteristics of the Catheter Innovations ports are identical to the predicate devices for all items listed in the "FDA Guidance on 510(k) Submissions for Implanted Infusion Ports." (October 1990)
Physically, the Catheter Innovations ports differ from the BardPorts™ with Groshong® catheters, in that the valve in the Catheter Innovations port is located in the catheter-toport adapter housing instead of close to the distal tip of the catheter as in the Groshong® catheter.

8. Summary of Technological Characteristics of Device in Relation to Predicate Device(s) Continued:
Additionally, in the BardPorts™ with Groshong® catheters are supplied in shorter lengths. This length difference is only apparent when the product is removed from the package. In actual use, the catheters are trimmed to length so that their distal tips are located in the distal 1/3 of the Superior Vena Cava (SVC). Thus, the difference in length of catheters, as supplied, is insignificant in relation to end-use of the product.
Both BardPorts™ with Hickman® catheters and Catheter Innovations ports are openended, and the distal end is trimmed by the health professional in order to obtain the desired length. Because the Groshong® catheter is close-ended and removal of a distal segment would remove the valve, these catheters are trimmed at the proximal end and subsequently fitted over their port-connecting adapter. Placement and trimming of Catheter Innovations catheters, because they are open-ended, is identical to that of BardPort™ with Hickman® catheters.
Catheter Innovations three-way valve is located in the port-to-catheter adapter housing at the proximal end of the catheter, immediately adjacent to the port body, while the Groshong® three-way valve is located in the distal tip of the catheter in the distal third of the SVC, and directly in the fluid stream path. There are no new safety or effectiveness issues posed by the difference in location of these valves within the body.
Based on these physical characteristic comparisons, we consider the Catheter Innovations Implantable Port substantially equivalent to the BardPort™ with Groshong® and Hickman® catheter predicate device ports.
9. Assessment of Performance Data:
Performance test results indicate Catheter Innovations ports are substantially equivalent to predicate device port/catheter combinations for all performance characteristics itemized in the "FDA Guidance on 510(k) Submissions for Implanted Infusion Ports." (October 1990)
Catheter Innovations performance characteristics related to port and valve function were compared to the predicate BardPort™ with Groshong® catheters. Comparison of all other Catheter Innovations port catheter performance characteristics were made to the range of values found for the performance of the predicate BardPort™ with Hickman® and Groshong® catheters. These comparisons indicate that the Catheter Innovations port with catheters performed equivalent to, or better than, the predicate devices for all performance characteristics studied.
Conclusion:
Data indicates that the performance characteristics of the Catheter Innovations Port with valved catheters are equivalent or superior to the currently marketed BardPort™ Implanted Ports with Groshong® and Hickman® catheters while posing no new safety or efficacy issues.
