No.
The device facilitates the placement of a catheter for diagnostic or interventional procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.
No
The device is an introducer sheath and associated components designed to facilitate the placement of a catheter into the lower extremity peripheral vasculature. It is a tool for accessing the vasculature, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a sheath, dilator, guide wire, entry needle, and guide inserter. It also mentions materials like stainless steel and nitinol, and processes like sterilization and coating. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the lower extremity peripheral vasculature. This is a procedure performed in vivo (within the living body) for diagnostic or interventional purposes.
- Device Description: The device components (sheath, dilator, needle, guide wire) are all designed for direct insertion into the patient's blood vessels.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works by providing access and a conduit into the patient's circulatory system.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro to test samples from the body. This device is clearly designed for in vivo use.

Device Description
The Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal Kit is used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into the lower extremity peripheral vasculature below the knee. It consists of an introducer (sheath and dilator), which are packaged together with a mini guide wire, an entry needle and a guide inserter.
During a diagnostic or interventional procedure in a cath lab, the stainless steel entry needle (cannula) is used to gain access to the vein or artery for placement of the mini guide wire. The nitinol mini guide wire is inserted through the cannula into the patient's blood vessel. The wire is used for placement of the sheath and dilator into the vein or artery. The Guide Inserter which is attached to the Mini Guide Wire holder is used to assist the placement of the wire into the needle.
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 sheath incorporates a 1-way valve and a 3-way stopcock connected by a side tube. 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 sheath, dilator, entry needle, mini guide wire and guide inserter are provided in a single package and sterilized together.
The Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal Kit is a disposable, ethylene oxide gas sterilized device intended for single use only.

H. NON-CLINICAL TESTS (807.92(b)(1)) Performance
All components of the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal Kit come from the predicate device and reference devices. They are identical in materials, formulation, geometry, source (manufacturer), processing, chemicals, and intended patient exposure and utilize the same sterilization method (Ethylene Oxide) as those in the predicate devices and reference devices. All components are packaged together in a pouch, labeled, and sterilized as a finished good for the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit. Therefore, no design verification testing was performed on the individual components to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the proposed Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit.
Since the packaging configurations of the needle in the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal Kit were different from the reference device (K152173), packaging testing was re-evaluated. The following packaging verification testing was performed to ensure the durability of the proposed Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit packaging throughout distribution:
- . Visual Inspection (Post Environmental Conditioning and Distribution Simulation)
Cadaver Testing
To evaluate the clinical feasibility of the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit, devices were tested in a simulated use situation using cadaver lower leg models to test arterial access at specific BTK (below-the-knee) arterial access sites. It was demonstrated that the Glidesheath Slender sheath is compatible with the insertion angles used in ultrasound guided BTK access protocols in the four BTK vessels tested. The study also demonstrated that the kit and its components are acceptable for use in BTK access. The study along with a follow-up survey confirmed that the protocols used by physicians in standard practice are equivalent to the access protocol used in the simulated use study. This provides confidence that the results from the testing are applicable to the broader BTK operator community. Therefore, the results of the feasibility study ensure the substantial equivalence of the proposed Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit.
Standards referenced in the testing of the proposed Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit by Terumo Medical Corporation are provided in Table 2 below.

Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility classification is based on the FDA Guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process."
Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit is categorized as an external communicating device, circulating blood with limited contact duration (up to 24 hours). The biological evaluation of Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit was performed per EN ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance on Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1.
All components of the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit are identical in materials, formulation, geometry, source (manufacturer), processing, chemicals, and intended patient exposure and utilize the same sterilization method (Ethylene Oxide) as those in the predicate device and reference devices. Therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing was performed, and the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit is considered to have substantially equivalent biocompatibility for the indicated use.
Sterilization
Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit was adopted into an existing ethylene oxide sterilization process validated via the overkill half cycle approach in accordance with ISO 11135:2014, Sterilization of health-care products - Ethylene oxide -Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization
10
process for medical devices. The microbiological and performance qualifications for the existing sterilization process used for the reference devices were leveraged to provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.
Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit is a limited exposure device. Sterilant residual testing was performed to demonstrate that after 24 hours of heated aeration, the level of residual ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) do not exceed an average daily dose of 4 mg and 9 mg respectively per EN ISO 10993-7:2008.
CLINICAL TESTS (807.92(b)(2)) I.
This 510(k) included a summary of the PRIME Registry data. The first 71 patients treated with the Terumo Glidesheath Slender when undergoing an index endovascular procedure using a tibial access point was compared to a literature based dataset of procedures using radial and femoral access. No issues that may affect the determination of substantial equivalence were noted in the comparison.
J. CONCLUSION (807.92(b)(3))
In summary, the Glidesheath Slender Tibial Pedal kit, subject of this 510(k), is substantially equivalent in its intended use, technology/principal of operation, materials, and performance to the predicate device.
