Intended Use
The VisiSheath Dilator Sheath is intended for use in patients requiring the percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding cardiac leads, indwelling catheters and foreign objects. The device is also intended for use in the introduction and support of intravascular catheters.
Device Description
The VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath is a single lumen polymer sheath used independently or as a support for an inner sheath to facilitate tissue dilation. One end is terminated with a 45° angle cut, while the other end is blunt. Both ends contain a metallic radiopaque marker band to enable fluoroscopic identification of tip location and orientation. An additional exterior mark aligned with the tip of the 45° angle cut permits visual identification of sheath orientation. There are multiple diameter and length options available.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functional performance of a dilator sheath, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device's intended use is for percutaneous dilation of tissue and introduction/support of intravascular catheters, which are procedural aids rather than providing a direct therapeutic effect on a disease or condition.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is a tool for dilation and introduction/support of catheters, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than identifying a problem.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, single lumen polymer sheath with metallic radiopaque marker bands, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for procedures like percutaneous dilation and introduction of catheters. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical sheath designed to be inserted into the body. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites mentioned (tissue surrounding cardiac leads, intravascular) are all within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

Therefore, the VisiSheath Dilator Sheath is an in vivo medical device, not an IVD.

Indication for Use

The VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath is intended for use in patients requiring the percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding cardiac leads, indwelling catheters and foreign objects. The device is also intended for use in the introduction and support of intravascular catheters.

Substantially Equivalent Devices

In Spectranetics' opinion, the VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath is believed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Summary of Studies

Spectranetics performed device functional testing to support that the VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath functions as intended. All device functional test results for the VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath met specified requirements.

Conclusion (Statement of Equivalence)

Through data and information presented, numerous similarities support a determination of substantial equivalence, and therefore market clearance of the Spectranetics VisiSheath™ Dilator Sheath through this 510(k) Premarket Notification.
