No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical, biocompatibility, and sterilization aspects of a physical introducer sheath system. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath system used for the introduction of other diagnostic and interventional devices, not for therapeutic treatment itself.

No

The device is an introducer sheath system, which is used for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices, not for performing diagnosis itself. Its description focuses on its mechanical components and function in facilitating access rather than any diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (coil reinforced shaft, hemostasis valve, dilator, radiopaque marker, lubricous coating) and mentions packaging and sterilization, indicating it is a hardware device. There is no mention of software as a component or function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to introduce interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature. This is a procedural device used within the body, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device for accessing blood vessels, not a reagent, instrument, or kit for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System facilitates procedures within the body, which is a different category of medical device.

1.5 Indications for Use

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is indicated to be used for introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature, including but not limited to femoral access via a contralateral approach to access the popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries.

The Indications for Use statement for the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is not identical to that of the two predicate devices; however, the differences do not alter the intended use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate devices. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System and the two predicate devices each have the same intended use, namely to support the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices.

1.6 Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a manually operated, sterile, single patient use sheath system made predominantly of thermoplastic polymers. The sheath is reinforced with a stainless steel coil in order to provide kink resistance when passed through tortuous paths. With regard to the design, device features, method of sterilization, and mode of operation, the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System does not differ from the predicate devices. Materials used for manufacture of the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System are the same or very similar to those contained in the predicate devices. Technological characteristics of the subject device differ from those of the predicates only with respect to materials for selected components and the choice of lubricious coating on the sheath. Both the polyurethane used for the outer layer and the hydrophobic coating applied to the distal end of the sheath of the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System are commonly used in medical devices, including introducer sheaths and catheters. Differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicates do not raise and concerns of safety and effectiveness, as demonstrated by the performance data collected.

1.7 Performance Data

Nonclinical and clinical performance data demonstrate that the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is safe and effective and performs substantially equivalent to the predicates. The following performance data from non-clinical tests are being provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

  • Mechanical testing, including tests required under relevant international standards, coating adhesion and particulate testing, and transportation integrity testing, performed to verify and validate the design and to demonstrate process capability.
  • Full range of Biocompatibility testing to demonstrate biocompatibility. ●
  • Sterilization Validation Adoption to confirm sterility of the device upon exposure to the selected sterilization cycle.
  • . Accelerated age testing to confirm product performance and end of shelf life.

1.8 Conclusions

Results demonstrate that the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System performs comparably with predicates and other legally marketed devices. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is substantially equivalent to the two predicates devices in terms of intended use, design and materials, technological characteristics, and principle of operation. Any differences between the subject device and the predicates do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
