Intended Use
The Rebar Micro Catheter is intended for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents or contrast media into the vasculature of the peripheral and neuro anatomy.
Device Description
The Rebar Micro Catheter is a single-lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire into the distal vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft which tapers into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The outer surface of the catheter has a lubricious hydrophilic coating. The catheter has a radiopaque marker at the distal end to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. Select catheter models (.0165" lumen) have a secondary marker 3 cm proximal of the distal tip marker.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical catheter and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device delivers therapeutic agents, but it is not a therapeutic device itself. Its primary function is a delivery mechanism.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for the infusion of therapeutic agents or contrast media, which are interventional rather than diagnostic functions. While it uses fluoroscopic visualization, this is for guidance during the interventional procedure, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, shaft, luer adapter, coating, and radiopaque marker, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the controlled selective infusion of therapeutic agents or contrast media into the vasculature. This is a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure performed in vivo (within the body), not an in vitro (outside the body) test on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed for insertion into the vasculature. This is a medical device used for direct intervention within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to deliver substances, not to perform a diagnostic test on a sample.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
