Intended Use
The MicroSheath LP is a single lumen catheter intended to create a pathway for other devices in the coronary or peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The FlowCardia MicroSheath LP a single lumen catheter, 123 cm in length, with a standard luer fitting at the proximal end. The catheter is available in two tip shapes, straight and angled. The distal tip is atraumatic to help facilitate vessel navigation. A single radiopaque marker on the straight version of the MicroSheath LP and five radiopaque markers on the angled version aid in fluoroscopic visualization. The MicroSheath LP is 6F Sheath/7Fr Guide compatible.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical catheter device and its performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a catheter "intended to create a pathway for other devices" in the vasculature, rather than directly treating a disease or condition. It facilitates other devices that may be therapeutic.

No

The device is a catheter intended to create a pathway for other devices, not to diagnose a condition. The performance studies focus on mechanical and functional properties, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter, which is a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "create a pathway for other devices in the coronary or peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in-vivo device.
  • 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.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopic visualization is an imaging technique used to view structures within the body, not to analyze samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The coronary or peripheral vasculature are locations within the body.

In summary, the MicroSheath LP is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

Predicate Devices

The VP Sheath manufactured by FlowCardia, Inc. (K051580)

Device Description

The FlowCardia MicroSheath LP a single lumen catheter, 123 cm in length, with a standard luer fitting at the proximal end. The catheter is available in two tip shapes, straight and angled. The distal tip is atraumatic to help facilitate vessel navigation. A single radiopaque marker on the straight version of the MicroSheath LP and five radiopaque markers on the angled version aid in fluoroscopic visualization. The MicroSheath LP is 6F Sheath/7Fr Guide compatible.

Intended Use:

The MicroSheath LP is a single lumen catheter intended to create a pathway for other devices in the coronary or peripheral vasculature.

Technological Characteristics

The MicroSheath LP is equivalent to the VP Sheath with respect to materials, manufacturing methods and sterilization. It is also substantially equivalent to the predicate in terms of catheter stiffness, tensile strength, and torque strength. The MicroSheath LP and predicate device have the same intended use.

Physical Test Data

Design analysis, bench, and biocompatibility testing were conducted according to the relevant guidance documents to demonstrate that the FlowCardia MicroSheath LP Catheters met the acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. In addition to dimensional verification, the following functional tests were performed and compared to the predicates: Tensile Strength, Tip Flexibility, Access and Navigation Bench Modeling, Critical Bend Testing, Leak and Pressure Testing, Tensile Testing, and Torque Strength.

Conclusion

Based upon these comparisons the MicroSheath LP is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
