Intended Use
The Enpath Medical Steerable Sheath is intended to be used to facilitate the placement of interventional devices into the peripheral and coronary systems.
Device Description
The Enpath Steerable Sheath 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.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical steering and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a guide catheter or delivery sheath, intended to facilitate the placement of other interventional devices. It does not provide any direct therapeutic benefit itself, but rather aids in the delivery of therapeutic devices.

No

The device is described as a guide catheter (delivery sheath) used to facilitate the placement of interventional devices. Its function is to steer and position other devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guide catheter with a handle mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

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) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "guide catheter (delivery sheath)" with a steerable tip. This is a medical device used during procedures, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for the examination of specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Enpath Medical Steerable Sheath is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Enpath Steerable Sheath 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.

Special 510(k) Submission Summary

The Enpath Steerable Sheath 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 Steerable Sheath, with its deflection capability, enables access to these areas. Primary applications for the product remain focused on access for Pulmonary Vein Ablation, Transseptal access, Renal Stenting, and Carotid Stenting.

Intended Use

The Enpath Medical Steerable Sheath is intended to be used to facilitate the placement of interventional devices into the peripheral and coronary systems.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

All technological characteristics of the Enpath Steerable Sheath are substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K043489) including biocompatibility, product design, function, packaging, sterilization and labeling. The molded handle configuration incorporates a handle material change and an integrated deflection and locking mechanism. The molded handle configuration does not alter the intended use or fundamental scientific technology of the device.

Summary of Studies

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, hemostatsis of the valve portion, deflection cycle testing and other testing as applicable to this device. Test results verify that the device performs per specification requirements and is equivalent to the predicate device without creating additional risk to the patient or user.

No clinical evaluations for this submission have been conducted.

Substantial Equivalence

The molded handle Steerable Sheath is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as, and is substantially equivalent to the original "cleared" machined handle Enpath Steerable Sheath, K043489. The design modification of the sheath handle assembly does not affect the indications for use nor alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
