Intended Use

The Glidesheath Slender is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery.

Device Description

Both the predicate Glidesheath Slender 6Fr (GSS 6Fr) and the modified Glidesheath Slender 5Fr & 7Fr (GSS 5Fr & 7Fr) consist of an introducer sheath and a dilator which are packaged together with an entry needle, mini guide wire and guide wire inserter. The GSS devices (all sheath sizes) are used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery. The sheath and dilator contain bismuth, making these devices visible under fluoroscopy. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel.

The entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the radial artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The entry needle is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel entry needle or a Surflo IV catheter (K891087).

The mini guide wire is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the radial artery. The mini guide wire is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel (spring coil) model or a polyurethane (nitinol core) plastic model.

The mini guide wire is inserted through a cannula placed in the patient's blood vessel. A guide wire inserter is provided to assist in insertion of the mini guide wire into the cannula. Following guide wire insertion, the cannula is removed and the sheath and dilator are then inserted over the mini guide wire and into the blood vessel. The mini guide wire is then withdrawn from the vessel. The dilator maintains the integrity of the sheath and dilates the blood vessel during insertion. Once the sheath is situated in the vessel, the dilator is removed and an appropriate catheter can then be inserted through the sheath.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific non-clinical test.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are "non-clinical tests" and were conducted to "ensure safety and effectiveness of the modified GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) device throughout the shelf-life, verify conformity to applicable ISO and internal standards and acceptance criteria, and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device." The manufacturer is Terumo Medical Corporation, with production facilities in Japan (Ashitaka Factory of Terumo Corporation). This indicates the data is likely from internal testing by the manufacturer, not from a patient population. It is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the manufactured device, not prospective in a clinical trial sense. The "country of origin of the data" would be Japan, where the manufacturing and potentially some testing occurs, and potentially the US, where Terumo Medical Corporation is located for regulatory affairs.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:

This is a non-clinical, performance testing study focused on engineering and material properties. There is no human "ground truth" establishment in the traditional sense, as these tests are based on objective physical standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP, internal engineering standards). Therefore, this question is not applicable to the provided study description.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable, as this is objective non-clinical performance testing against defined standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical performance study of a physical medical device (an introducer sheath), not an AI algorithm or an imaging device involving human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The "ground truth" in this context refers to the defined specifications and requirements set forth by international standards (ISO, ASTM, USP) and the manufacturer's own internal standards. These are objective engineering and material science metrics. It is not an expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the biological sense.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or artificial intelligence study, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. There is no training set in this context.

D. Reason for 510(k) Submission

This premarket notification (Special 510(k)) is being submitted to extend the current Glidesheath Slender (6Fr) product line to include the 5Fr and 7Fr sizes. This is a modification to the Glidesheath Slender (6Fr) (K122980) introducer sheath manufactured by Ashitaka Factory of Terumo Corporation.

E. Device Description (807.92(a)(4))

Principle of Operation Technology

The Glidesheath Slender (GSS) (5Fr & 7Fr) submitted in this 510(k) and the GSS (6Fr) cleared under K122980 are operated manually or by a manual process.

Design/Construction

Both the predicate Glidesheath Slender 6Fr (GSS 6Fr) and the modified Glidesheath Slender 5Fr & 7Fr (GSS 5Fr & 7Fr) consist of an introducer sheath and a dilator which are packaged together with an entry needle, mini guide wire and guide wire inserter. The GSS devices (all sheath sizes) are used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the radial artery. The sheath and dilator contain bismuth, making these devices visible under fluoroscopy. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel.

The entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the radial artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The entry needle is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel entry needle or a Surflo IV catheter (K891087).

The mini guide wire is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the radial artery. The mini guide wire is offered in two versions, either a stainless steel (spring coil) model or a polyurethane (nitinol core) plastic model.

The mini guide wire is inserted through a cannula placed in the patient's blood vessel. A guide wire inserter is provided to assist in insertion of the mini guide wire into the cannula. Following guide wire insertion, the cannula is removed and the sheath and dilator are then inserted over the mini guide wire and into the blood vessel. The mini guide wire is then withdrawn from the vessel. The dilator maintains the integrity of the sheath and dilates the blood vessel during insertion. Once the sheath is situated in the vessel, the dilator is removed and an appropriate catheter can then be inserted through the sheath.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The entry needle, the mini guide wire and the guide wire inserter are packaged with the GSS in an individual package prior to sterilization. With the exception of the Surflo IV catheter, which is cleared under K891087, accessories provided in the GSS kit are not offered for individual sale.

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility of the modified GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) was evaluated based upon ISO 10993-1: 2009. The modified GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) including Sheath, Dilator, Guidewire, and Entry needle are classified as Externally Communicating Devices. Circulating Blood, Limited Contact (<24 hrs). This is the same classification as the predicate Glidesheath Slender (6Fr) (K122980).

All of the modified GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) materials are the same as the predicate GSS (6Fr) (K122980) and/or other currently marketed Terumo devices including the Glidesheath (5Fr) (K082644) and the Radiofocus Introducer II Kit (7Fr) (K954234). These devices have the same intended use, body contact and contact duration classification based on ISO10993-1: 2009. The Glidesheath and Radiofocus Introducer product lines have a demonstrated history of safe and effective use.

Additionally, biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with the FDA General Program memorandum #G95-1(5/1/95): Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing". Samples tested were final, sterilized, whole finished good devices (including Sheath, Dilator, Guidewire, Guidewire Inserter, and Entry needle). Testing was conducted in accordance with 21 CFR Part 58 (Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies).

Physiochemical Profile (Physicochemical and FT-IR Analysis) testing was also conducted by Terumo Corporation per USP <661> Containers-Plastics: Physiochemical Tests. Testing demonstrated that the physiochemical properties of the subject GSS device do not change throughout its shelf life, and, therefore, remain biocompatible.

All test results met the requirements of applicable standards. A list of biocompatibility tests conducted are summarized Table 5.5 on the following page.

This 510(k) does not include data from clinical tests.

J. Conclusion (807.92(b)(3))

The proposed GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) is substantially equivalent in intended use, principles of operation, design features, materials, performance and fundamental scientific technology when compared to the predicate GSS (6Fr) (K122980). Verification testing was conducted and demonstrated that the modified device meets the design inputs and meets the same or equivalent requirements as the predicate GSS (6Fr) for both ISO 11070 and internal standards. The differences between the predicate and proposed devices do not raise any new issues regarding safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the GSS (5Fr & 7Fr) is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
