Intended Use
The GORE DrySeal Sheath is intended to be inserted in the vasculature to provide a conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices while minimizing blood loss associated with such insertions.
Device Description
The GORE DrySeal Sheath consists of an introducer sheath with GORE DrySeal Valve attached, a dilator, and a syringe. The introducer sheath is a polyethylene tube with a tapered leading tip and marker band incorporated within the sheath material to allow identification under fluoroscopy. The sheath has an insert molded hub on the trailing end, which is attached to the GORE DrySeal Valve. The GORE DrySeal Valve is comprised of an outer silicone tube and an inner film tube. The region between the silicone tube and film tube is pressurized by injecting 2.5mL of saline into the space, using the provided syringe, during procedural preparation of the device. The dilator has a tapered leading end and provides dilatation of the access vessel. A mark on the trailing end of the dilator ensures correct positioning of the dilator within the sheath.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of the sheath and valve, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, decision-making, or image processing.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath intended to provide a conduit for other endovascular devices, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is an introducer sheath designed to provide a conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices and minimize blood loss. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a polyethylene tube, silicone tube, film tube, dilator, and syringe, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is "intended to be inserted in the vasculature to provide a conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, syringe) used for accessing blood vessels. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The GORE DrySeal Sheath is a medical device used for facilitating endovascular procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
