No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guiding sheath, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
This device is intended for the introduction of other devices into the vasculature, acting as a guiding catheter and introducer sheath, rather than directly treating a condition itself.
No
The device is described as an "introducer sheath" and "guiding catheter" meant for inserting other devices. While its intended use mentions "diagnostic devices," the sheath itself is not performing a diagnostic function; it is a tool for accessing the site where diagnostic devices might be used. Its performance studies focus on physical properties, not diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a sheath, dilator, valve, and clip, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Carotid Guiding Sheath is an invasive device used to introduce other medical devices directly into the patient's blood vessels. It is used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a test tube or lab setting).
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for introducing devices into the human vasculature. This is a procedural tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The information provided about the device's design, performance testing (penetration, kink resistance, etc.), and predicate device all support its classification as a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.

I. ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Sterilization conditions have been validated in accordance with ANSI / AAMI / ISO 11135-1994 to provide a Sterility Assurance Level of 10-6.
Blood contacting materials were tested in accordance with the test recommendations in the FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1 (5/1/95): Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part I: Evaluation and Testing." The Carotid Guiding Sheath is categorized as "Externally Communicating Device, Circulating Blood, Limited Contact (≤24hrs)". The blood contacting materials were found to be biocompatible.
Expiration dating for the Carotid Guiding Sheath will be 30 months.
J. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Carotid Guiding Sheath submitted in this 510(k) is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, principle of operation / technology, materials and performance to the Super Arrow-Flex Percutaneous Sheath Introducer Set (K924607), which is manufactured by Arrow International, Inc. Differences between the devices do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
Terumo's statement of substantial equivalence is done solely to comply with the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and is not intended whatsoever to be the basis for a patent infringement action.
