Intended Use
The Glidesheath is indicated to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery including but not limited to the radial artery.
Device Description
The Glidesheath consists of an introducer (sheath and dilator), which are packaged together with a mini guide wire. Some product configurations also include an entry needle, guide wire inserter and a flushing syringe. The Glidesheath is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel. In addition, the sheath and dilator contain bismuth, making these devices visible under fluoroscopy. The entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the vein or artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The entry needle is offered in either stainless steel (SS) version or the Surflo (SR) IV catheter (which includes a needle) (K891087). There are two different types of stainless steel entry needles that are available in various gauges and lengths. The mini guide wire is inserted through the cannula into the patient's blood vessel and is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the vein or artery. A guide wire inserter is provided to assist in insertion of the mini guide wire into the cannula. The mini guide wire is offered in three versions, either a stainless steel spring coil model (stainless steel), a nitinol model with palladium tipped (nitinol) or a polyurethane plastic model with a nitinol core (plastic). 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 The mini guide wire is then withdrawn from the vessel.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. The flushing syringe is used to prime the dilator with heparinized saline. The entry needle, the mini guide wire, the guide wire inserter and flushing syringe, are all accessories to the Glidesheath. Depending on the product code, certain accessories may or may not be contained within the kit. All of the accessories for a given product code are provided in an individual package with the Glidesheath and sterilized together.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on physical components and materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates placing a catheter, which is a therapeutic device, but it is not therapeutic itself.

No

Explanation: The Glidesheath is used to facilitate the placement of a catheter into a vein or artery for interventional or therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a sheath, dilator, guide wire, and needle, which are hardware. The device is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin, which is a physical intervention.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery". This is a procedural device used for accessing blood vessels, not for examining specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (sheath, dilator, guide wire, needle, etc.) used for insertion into the body. It does not describe reagents, instruments, or systems intended for use in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

The Glidesheath is a medical device used for a procedural purpose (vascular access), not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

E. DEVICE DESCRIPTION (807.92(a)(4))

Principle of Operation Technology

The proposed Glidesheath™ manufactured by Terumo Medical Corporation (TMC) and the predicate Glidesheath (K082644) manufactured by Terumo Corporation (TC) are operated manually or by a manual process.

Design/Construction

The Glidesheath consists of an introducer (sheath and dilator), which are packaged together with a mini guide wire. Some product configurations also include an entry needle, guide wire inserter and a flushing syringe. The Glidesheath is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery. The sheath is coated with hydrophilic coating to minimize frictional resistance when inserting or removing the sheath from the patient's blood vessel. In addition, the sheath and dilator contain bismuth, making these devices visible under fluoroscopy.

The entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the vein or artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The entry needle is offered in either stainless steel (SS) version or the Surflo (SR) IV catheter (which includes a needle) (K891087). There are two different types of stainless steel entry needles that are available in various gauges and lengths.

The mini guide wire is inserted through the cannula into the patient's blood vessel and is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the vein or artery. A guide wire inserter is provided to assist in insertion of the mini guide wire into the cannula. The mini guide wire is offered in three versions, either a stainless steel spring coil model (stainless steel), a nitinol model with palladium tipped (nitinol) or a polyurethane plastic model with a nitinol core (plastic).

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. The flushing syringe is used to prime the dilator with heparinized saline.

The entry needle, the mini guide wire, the guide wire inserter and flushing syringe, are all accessories to the Glidesheath. Depending on the product code, certain accessories may or may not be contained within the kit. All of the accessories for a given product code are provided in an individual package with the Glidesheath and sterilized together.
