Intended Use
The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is intended to be inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery, over a guidewire and once expanded, to provide a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery.
Device Description
The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is a cardiovascular device designed to be used as a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery. The device is provided sterile for single use. Onset Medical Corporation's SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is a sterile, single use device. It consists of a flexible, reinforced polymer sheath with an external collapsible outer jacket and specially folded, radially-collapsed distal end (the Sheath) pre-mounted over a central balloon dilatation catheter (the Expander), and equipped with a proximal hub assembly incorporating a hemostasis valve. The folded distal region of the Sheath is small in diameter, thus facilitating passage through the vessel. The SoloPath Assembly is inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery, over a guidewire, with the deflated Expander in place. Once positioned into the artery, the Expander balloon, when inflated with liquid, exerts controlled radial force, enlarging the folded distal region of the Sheath and surrounding anatomy. The Expander balloon is deflated and the Expander is removed leaving a large central lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the Sheath, which maintains its expanded size by means of malleable distal reinforcement. The Sheath is designed as a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery. Prior to removal, the outer jacket is activated with liquid unde pressure, collapsing the outer sheath diameter for ease of removal. The sheath is capable of expanding and actively collapsing.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical and material properties of the access system. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies. The performance studies are bench studies evaluating physical characteristics and biocompatibility.

No.
Explanation: The device is an access system intended to provide a guide for other catheters and/or devices inserted into the femoral artery, rather than directly treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is an access system intended to provide a guide for catheters and/or devices into the femoral artery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, sterile, single-use cardiovascular device consisting of a sheath, expander, and hub assembly. It is designed for percutaneous insertion and manipulation within the femoral artery, which are hardware-based functions.

Based on the provided information, the SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is "to be inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery... to provide a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to obtain diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for insertion into a blood vessel and manipulation within the body. It describes components like a sheath, expander, balloon, and hub assembly, all consistent with an interventional medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis. The purpose is purely procedural – providing access and guidance.

Therefore, the SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is a medical device, specifically an interventional cardiovascular device, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is a cardiovascular device designed to be used as a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery. The device is provided sterile for single use.

Onset Medical Corporation's SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is a sterile, single use device. It consists of a flexible, reinforced polymer sheath with an external collapsible outer jacket and specially folded, radially-collapsed distal end (the Sheath) pre-mounted over a central balloon dilatation catheter (the Expander), and equipped with a proximal hub assembly incorporating a hemostasis valve. The folded distal region of the Sheath is small in diameter, thus facilitating passage through the vessel. The SoloPath Assembly is inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery, over a guidewire, with the deflated Expander in place. Once positioned into the artery, the Expander balloon, when inflated with liquid, exerts controlled radial force, enlarging the folded distal region of the Sheath and surrounding anatomy. The Expander balloon is deflated and the Expander is removed leaving a large central lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the Sheath, which maintains its expanded size by means of malleable distal reinforcement. The Sheath is designed as a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral artery. Prior to removal, the outer jacket is activated with liquid unde pressure, collapsing the outer sheath diameter for ease of removal.

The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is equivalent to approved predicate devices currently available as vascular introducers such as the Cook® Extra Large Check-Flo® Introducer which is available in 20F, 22F and 24F configurations with a variable usable lengths and Onset Medical Corporation's SoloPath® Balloon Expandable TransFemoral Introducer which utilizes the same material and balloon expandable dilation feature for vascular introduction. These devices are designed to be advanced over a guidewire, under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance. The dilator portion of the introducer assembly is advanced gently into the vasculature and facilitates a clinical conduit through which interventional tools and prostheses can be safely delivered. The devices may contain various hemostasis valve assemblies and hydrophilic-coated surfaces for improved lubricity. The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is equivalent in regards to materials, indications for use and overall clinical utility. However, like the approved SoloPath® TransFemoral Introducer, the SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System consists of a flexible sheath with a specially folded distal segment pre-mounted over a central balloon dilatation catheter (the Expander). The folded distal region of the Sheath is small in diameter, thus facilitating passage through the vessel. The SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System is inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery, over a guidewire. Once the device is positioned, the Expander balloon is inflated with liquid and exerts controlled radial dilation, enlarging the folded distal segment of the Sheath to a unidiameter configuration. The Expander balloon is deflated and is removed leaving a large central lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the SoloPath® Re-Collapsible Access System performs the same as previously approved predicate devices and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

The sheath is capable of expanding and actively collapsing.
