The summary describes a device for measuring blood pressure using a fiber optic sensor and displaying the data. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The device facilitates the introduction of other devices and continuously measures blood pressure, but it does not directly treat a condition or restore a function.
Yes
The device continuously measures and monitors blood pressure, which is a diagnostic function used to assess the patient's physiological state.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a sheath, dilator, guidewire, and an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. It also mentions a separate hardware component, the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor, which connects to the sheath.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the vasculature and to continuously measure blood pressure during the procedure". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for access and physiological monitoring.
- Device Description: The description details an introducer sheath with an integrated pressure sensor, a dilator, and a guidewire. These are all tools used for accessing and working within the vascular system of a living patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not process or analyze such specimens. It directly interacts with the patient's vasculature to measure a physiological parameter (blood pressure).
Therefore, the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is a medical device used for vascular access and in vivo blood pressure monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is comprised of the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire. The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath and accessories are provided sterile (EO).
The Pressure Sensing Sheath ("PSS") is an introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. The PSS is provided with a dilator and a guidewire, which together make up the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit ("PSS Kit"). The PSS Kit is intended to be used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor ("BPM"), which connects to the PSS and displays the blood pressure measurements. Together with the BPM, the PSS is used to continuously monitor patient blood pressure during procedures requiring vascular access.
The PSS introducer sheath is used to assist vascular access in the same manner as do standard catheter introducers. The PSS introducer sheath has an integrated pressure sensor that provides high resolution, continuous, and instantaneous pulse wave hemodynamics to monitor blood pressure. The PSS introducer sheath is intened only for connectin with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor.
The 6F Vessel Dilator is used to facilitate insertion of the PSS, and is packaged with the Endophys PSS Kit. Once the PSS has been properly positioned in the vessel, the Dilator is removed.
The guidewire is J tipped, 50cm (length), 0.89mm (diameter), and is used to assist in the placement of the Dilator/PSS Introducer Sheath through the skin and into the vasculature. Once the Dilator and Introducer are positioned over the Guidewire, the Guidewire is removed through the Dilator.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is comprised of the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire. The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath and accessories are provided sterile (EO).
The Pressure Sensing Sheath ("PSS") is an introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. The PSS is provided with a dilator and a guidewire, which together make up the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit ("PSS Kit"). The PSS Kit is intended to be used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor ("BPM"), which connects to the PSS and displays the blood pressure measurements. Together with the BPM, the PSS is used to continuously monitor patient blood pressure during procedures requiring vascular access.
The PSS introducer sheath is used to assist vascular access in the same

The 6F Vessel Dilator is used to facilitate insertion of the PSS, and is packaged with the Endophys PSS Kit. Once the PSS has been properly positioned in the vessel, the Dilator is removed.
The guidewire is J tipped, 50cm (length), 0.89mm (diameter), and is used to assist in the placement of the Dilator/PSS Introducer Sheath through the skin and into the vasculature. Once the Dilator and Introducer are positioned over the Guidewire, the Guidewire is removed through the Dilator.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit (Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire) is intended to facilitate the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the vasculature and to continuously measure blood pressure during the procedure when used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Introducer catheters, by nature, are tubular structures intended to provide a pathway for therapeutic and/or diagnostic devices into the human vasculature. Specialized introducer catheter have been developed which incorporate sensors into these devices to allow active monitoring of blood pressure during interventional procedures. Blood pressure monitoring using a fiber optic transducer is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. The technology requires use of a compatible blood pressure monitor to provide this data to the clinician.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- Compatibility with Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor .
- l Hemostasis valve- to prevent blood leakage during the procedure
- Suture ring- aid in placement
- Fiber optic pressure transducer I
- I Visibility under radiographic imaging
- I Locking sheath hub
5
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- Modify sheath hub taper for ease of dilator insertion l
- Increase in sheath inside diameter from 0.82 to 0.89
- ' Incorporate locking dilator hub feature
- I Modify dilator/sheath dimensions to minimize sheath/dilator profile including a reduction in sheath shaft length and increased taper
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence.
- l Luer verification
- Dimensional verification ■
- Accessories compatibility
- I Radiopacity
- Tip deflection
- Kink resistance
- I Sensor functionality
- l Tip compression
- I Liquid leakage

The modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath met all specified criteria and did not raise new safety or performance questions. Based on the design verification performance the modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit was found to have the a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
