Intended Use

The Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices.

Device Story

The Nanostim Introducer Kit functions as a guiding sheath for the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the venous system. The kit consists of an introducer sheath and a dilator, compatible with 0.035" and 0.038" guidewires. It features a hemostasis valve to minimize air entry, a sideport with a three-way stopcock, and a radiopaque tip marker for visualization. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals, the device provides a conduit for procedures. The design modifications focus on improving manufacturability and shelf life without altering the fundamental technology or intended use.

The Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is comprised of an introducer sheath and a dilator. The Introducer Kit is compatible with 0.035" and 0.038" guidewires and is available in 18F and one length of 30 cm. The introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize air introduction during insertion and/or exchange, and a sideport with a three-way stopcock. The introducer features a radiopaque tip marker incorporated within the sheath material to identify the location of the distal tip of the sheath. Design modifications were made to the current design to improve the manufacturability and to increase the product shelf life. The changes made to the Nanostim Introducer Kit do not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. {4}------------------------------------------------ # Indications For Use: The Nanostim™ Introducer Kit is intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices. # Summary of Technological Characteristics in Comparison to Predicate Device: The modified device and the predicate device (K140793) have the same indication for use, technological characteristics and performance. Both the subject device and predicate device are intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices. The minor differences in design to improve manufacturability and to increase the product shelf life do not alter the intended patient or clinical effect, and, therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Nanostim Introducer Kit (K140793) with respect to indications, design, and function. There are no technological characteristics that raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. # Summary of Non-Clinical Testing: Design verification testing was performed to verify the modified device remains substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Testing performed on the modified device included the following: - Visual test; ● - . Dimensional measurement test; - Tensile Strength: ● - Torsional Strength: - . Liquid Leak; - Simulated Use; ● - Torsional Strength; ● All of the pre-determined acceptance criteria were met. ## Biocompatibility Testing: Biocompatibility testing for the subject device has been completed in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1:2009 "Biological Evaluation of Medical devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" for an external communicating device with limited exposure (contact with circulating blood is <24 hours). Testing included the following: - Cytotoxicity ● - . Chemical Characterization ## Summary of Clinical Testing: Clinical evaluation is not required for this device. {5}------------------------------------------------ # Substantial equivalence: The subject device has the following similarities to the predicate device cleared under K140793: - . the same indication for use: - the same fundamental scientific technology; ● - the same technological characteristics; ● - the same principles of operation; . - incorporates the same basic introducer design and has the same sterilization process: The minor differences in design to improve manufacturability and to increase the product shelf life between the subject device and the predicate device do not affect the intended use of the device or clinical effect and scientific technology of the device, therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to currently cleared Nanostim Introducer Kit (K140793). ## Summary: In summary, the modified device that is subject to this submission is substantial|" Á equivalent to the predicate device. It has the same indication for use, the same technological characteristics, and the same principles of operation as the predicate device. The differences between the modified device and the predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the subject device performs as the predicate device and is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
