Intended Use
The Enpath Deflectable Catheter is intended to be used to facilitate the placement of interventional devices into the peripheral and coronary systems.
Device Description
The Enpath Deflectable Catheter is a guide catheter (delivery sheath) which has a distal tip that deflects to create a variable curve shape. The deflection is controlled through a handle mechanism with the ability to lock at any point along the catheter tip curve travel. The handle incorporates a luer fitting or a hemostasis valve. The deflectable catheter shaft is constructed of Pebax, lined with PTFE and filled with Barium Sulfate as a radiopacifier. The catheter hub is overmolded Nylon 12 (10% glass filled). The catheter hub houses a hemostasis valve which is molded silicone rubber. The deflectable catheter handle is made of machined ABS, and is cyanoacrylate bonded onto the deflectable shaft. The dilator tube is made of MDPE (high density/low density polyethylene blend) and has a hub made of HDPE resin overmolded onto the dilator tube. The dilator assembly is coated with silicone lubricant to reduce insertion force through the sheath hemostasis valve. The deflectable tip sheath size range is from 7 FR (ID) to 14 FR. The materials and construction are the same for all French sizes. The Deflectable Tip Sheath will be packaged and EtO sterilized for single use in a Tyvek pouch. The sterile kit packaging configuration will include the deflectable catheter and the dilator. The product may be provided as a bulk non-sterile device to OEM customers for further processing and packaging.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a deflectable catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a "guide catheter (delivery sheath)" intended "to facilitate the placement of interventional devices." It does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a guide catheter used to facilitate the placement of interventional devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a handle mechanism, luer fitting, hemostasis valve, and various material components (Pebax, PTFE, Barium Sulfate, Nylon 12, silicone rubber, ABS, MDPE, HDPE). This is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the placement of interventional devices into the peripheral and coronary systems." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, with features like a deflectable tip, handle, and luer fitting/hemostasis valve. These are characteristics of a surgical or interventional tool, not 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 laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Enpath Deflectable Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.

Device Description

The Enpath Deflectable Catheter is a guide catheter (delivery sheath) which has a distal tip that deflects to create a variable curve shape. The deflection is controlled through a handle mechanism with the ability to lock at any point along the catheter tip curve travel. The handle incorporates a luer fitting or a hemostasis valve. The product specifications, drawings and photographs are located in Appendix E of this submission.

The Enpath Deflectable Catheter will be used clinically in the same way that a guide catheter or sheath is used as part of an interventional procedure, to gain access to locations that are not easily accessed with existing tools. Certain parts of the vasculature are difficult to access because of occlusion, tortuosity, or simply because standard catheters do not provide the necessary curve angle(s). The Deflectable Catheter, with its deflection capability, enables access to these areas. Primary applications for product focus on access for Pulmonary Vein Ablation, Transseptal access, Renal Stenting, and Carotid Stenting.

The deflectable catheter shaft is constructed of Pebax, lined with PTFE and filled with Barium Sulfate as a radiopacifier. The catheter hub is overmolded Nylon 12 (10% glass filled). The catheter hub houses a hemostasis valve which is molded silicone rubber.

The deflectable catheter handle is made of machined ABS, and is cyanoacrylate bonded onto the deflectable shaft. The handle configuration may vary based on specific user requirements. The handle modifications will not effect the functionality or safety of the device. For example, the shape of the handle, method of deflection (i.e. slide, rotate etc) may change, but the curve of the deflection and the shaft of the device will remain the same. Any handle changes will be validated and appropriately tested to ensure safety and effectiveness.

The dilator tube is made of MDPE (high density/low density polyethylene blend) and has a hub made of HDPE resin overmolded onto the dilator tube. The dilator assembly is coated with silicone lubricant to reduce insertion force through the sheath hemostasis valve.

The deflectable tip sheath size range is from 7 FR (ID) to 14 FR. The materials and construction are the same for all French sizes.

The Deflectable Tip Sheath will be packaged and EtO sterilized for single use in a Tyvek pouch. The sterile kit packaging configuration will include the deflectable catheter and the dilator. The product may be provided as a bulk non-sterile device to OEM customers for further processing and packaging.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The performance testing for this device included testing to verify that the device functions in a safe and effective manner. The performance testing included the device specifications, functional testing of the articulation, deflection radius, deflection force, hemostasis of the valve portion, deflection cycle testing and testing consistent with the requirements in FDA 'Guidance on premarket notification [510(k)] submission for shortterm and long-term intravascular catheters (3/19/1995)' as applicable to this device. Test results verify that the device performs per specification requirements.
