Intended Use
The GORE® DrySeal Sheath with hydrophilic coating 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 a hydrophilic coated 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.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and function of a vascular sheath and valve, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, image processing, or decision support.

No.
The device is an introducer sheath and dilator, used to provide a conduit for other endovascular devices. It does not treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath intended to provide a conduit for other endovascular devices. Its function is to facilitate the insertion of medical devices, not to diagnose conditions. While it allows for identification under fluoroscopy, this is for positioning during a procedure, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a sheath, valve, dilator, and syringe, and the performance studies focus on physical properties and sterilization, indicating it is a hardware 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 provide a conduit for inserting endovascular devices into the vasculature and minimize blood loss. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) during a medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, valve, dilator, syringe) used for accessing and working within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples. This device is clearly used in vivo to facilitate a medical procedure.

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

Substantial Equivalence: Documentation provided includes a detailed comparison which demonstrates that the proposed GORE® DrySeal Sheath hydrophilic coated introducer sheath is substantially equivalent to the predicate GORE® DrySeal Sheath cleared under K093791. A hydrophilic coating has been added to the GORE® DrySeal Sheath. No other changes were made to the introducer sheath, DrySeal Valve or dilator from that cleared under K093791.

Additionally, the following tests/evaluations were performed to confirm equivalence to the predicate device:

  • Biocompatibility .
  • Sterilization Validations .
  • Packaging Integrity .
  • Product Shelf-Life .
  • Design Verification .

Key Results: The results demonstrate that the lubricity of the GORE® DrySeal Sheath with hydrophilic coating performs as designed, is suitable for its intended use, and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise any new issues of safety and efficacy. In terms of intended use, design, material composition and technological characteristics, the GORE® DrySeal Sheath with hydrophilic coating is substantially equivalent to the 510(k) predicate device. The proposed device meets the performance criteria of design verification as specified by test protocols. The GORE® DrySeal Sheath with hydrophilic coating is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Hemphill:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either Class II (Special Controls) or Class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
