Intended Use
The Renal Guiding Sheath is intended for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature including but not limited to the renal arteries.
Device Description
The Renal Guiding Sheath is designed to perform as a guiding catheter and an introducer sheath.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a medical device (a guiding sheath) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath and guiding catheter, which are used to facilitate the introduction of other diagnostic or interventional devices into the vasculature. Its function is to guide and introduce, not to provide therapy itself.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath for interventional and diagnostic devices, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to facilitate the introduction of other devices.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a coil-reinforced sheath, radiopaque marker, hydrophilic coating, dilator, rotating hemostatic valve, and dilator retaining clip, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature". This describes a device used within the body for procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed to be inserted into blood vessels (sheath, dilator, valve). This is consistent with an invasive medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool used to facilitate procedures within the body.

SECTION II. SUMMARY OF SAFETY & EFFECTIVENESS

DEVICE NAME A.

Proprietary Name: Has not been established yet Classification Name: Catheter Introducer Common Name: Guiding Sheath

B. PREDICATE DEVICE

The predicate device is the Super Arrow-Flex Percutaneous Sheath Introducer Set, which is manufactured by Arrow International, Inc. The Super Arrow-flex is cleared through the premarket notification process (K924607).

C. INTENDED USE

The Renal Guiding Sheath is intended for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature including but not limited to the renal arteries.

D. DESCRIPTION

The Renal Guiding Sheath is designed to perform as a guiding catheter and an introducer sheath. The sheath is coil reinforced, has a radiopaque marker and is hydrophilically coated on the distal 5 cm. It comes packaged with a dilator, a rotating hemostatic valve (or a detachable hemostatic valve), and a dilator retaining clip.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION / TECHNOLOGY E.

The Renal Guiding Sheath and the Super Arrow-Flex Percutaneous Sheath Introducer Set are operated manually or by a manual process.

DESIGN / MATERIALS F.

The Renal Guiding Sheath use similar materials as the predicate device. Differences in materials between the two devices do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.

G. SPECIFICATIONS

Sheath Size:6-7Fr.
Nominal ID / OD:6Fr.: .087" / .109"
7Fr.: .100" / .122"
Sheath Length:45-55cm
Hydrophilic Coating:Distal 5 cm
Distal Shape Configurations:Straight, Hockey Stick, Multipurpose

H. PERFORMANCE

The performance of the Renal Guiding Sheath is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Super Arrow-Flex Percutaneous Sheath Introducer. The following tests were performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the devices.

  • Penetration

  • Kink Resistance A
  • Leakage

  • Tensile Strength

  • Tortuous Path / Durability A

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION I.

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 Renal 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 Renal Guiding Sheath will be 30 months.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE J.

The Renal 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.

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
