Intended Use
The guiding catheter is intended for use for intravascular introduction of interventional / diagnostic devices into the coronary, peripheral, and neufosvasculature.
Device Description
The Cordis Vista Brite Tip Catheters are single lumen catheters which feature a nylon body with a tightly wound stainless steel braid wire. The braid wire extends from the hub into the Brite Tip segment. The transition segments of the catheter are designed with nylons of different stiffness to provide gradual decrease in material stiffness from the catheter body to the tip. The Brite Tip segment, located at the catheter's tip, is polyurethane with a radiopaque filler; this is the softest material in the catheter.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and materials of a guiding catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is a guiding catheter intended for the introduction of other diagnostic or interventional devices, not for direct therapeutic action itself.

No
The device, a guiding catheter, is intended for the "intravascular introduction of interventional / diagnostic devices," meaning it facilitates the use of other devices, but it does not perform diagnostic functions itself.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with material components (nylon body, stainless steel braid wire, polyurethane tip with radiopaque filler), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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 "intravascular introduction of interventional / diagnostic devices into the coronary, peripheral, and neufosvasculature." This describes a device used within the body to facilitate procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This aligns with the intended use and is not characteristic of an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detect analytes, or provide diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Cordis Vista Brite Tip Catheter is a medical device used for guiding other devices within the vascular system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

All appropriate biocompatibility tests were successfully performed on the Biocompatibility materials used for the Cordis Vista Brite Tip Catheter. The Cordis Vista Brite Tip Catheter is similar in design, construction, Summary of indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially Substantial Equivalence available Cordis guiding catheters. 1

Any statement of substantial equivalence to another product is required by 21 CFR 807.87, and relates only to whether the present product can be marketed without prior reclassification or clinical approval. The present submission is therefore not related to the coverage of any patent, and is not to be interpreted as an admission or used as evidence in a patent infringement lawsuit. As the Commissioner of the FDA has stated, "... a determination of substantial equivalence under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act relates to the fact that the product can lawfully be marketed without pre-market approval or reclassification. This determination is not intended to have any bearing whatever on the resolution of patent infringement suits." 42 Fed. Reg. (1977).

Dear Mr. Griffin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
