More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical introducer sheath system and does not mention any AI or ML components, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is used for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices, not for therapeutic purposes itself.

No

The device is an introducer sheath system used to introduce other devices into the vasculature. Its intended use explicitly states it is for the "introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices," not for performing diagnosis itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (coil reinforced shaft, hemostasis valve, dilator) and performance studies focus on mechanical testing, biocompatibility, and sterilization, indicating a hardware-based device. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral (and coronary) vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for access, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical sheath, valve, and dilator, which are components of a device used for vascular access, not for performing in vitro tests.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample analysis, or any other characteristics typically associated with IVD devices.

This device is a medical device used for interventional and diagnostic procedures within the body.

Device Description

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a sterile, disposable device consisting of (a) a coil reinforced shaft with an atraumatic tip at the distal end; (b) a hemostasis valve with a side port and color coded 3-way stopcock; and (c) a tapered tip dilator with snap-fit hub at the proximal end.

(a) Shaft. The coil reinforced, multi-layer polymer shaft contains a tapered tip at the distal end. A continuous inner PTFE tube forms the core of the shaft and provides a circular working lumen through which devices can be passed. A single, full length polyurethane tube creates the outer cover of the shaft. A stainless-steel flat wire coil is fused between the two polymer tubes along the entire length of the shaft. Hydrophobic coating is applied along the distal part of the outer layer for increased lubricity in this area. The coating coverage depends on the model. 15 cm product versions have 10 cm portion of the shaft coated, while 45 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm product versions have 15 cm portion of the shaft coated. A radiopaque marker made of platinum iridium is embedded at the distal end of the shaft. At the proximal end of the shaft, a female, winged luer hub is over-molded onto the shaft to support handling and to provide for the connection for the hemostasis valve. The hub is color coded to match the French size of the device.

(b) Hemostasis valve. A removable hemostasis valve is thread onto the luer hub at the proximal end of the shaft. Inside the valve housing, a lubricated, silicone slit disc provides a seal around devices passed through the sheath, thereby preventing blood leakage through the valve. Just distal of the valve, the valve housing is connected to a side port tube leading to three-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. At the proximal end of the valve housing, the color-coded housing cap provides a snap fit connection to the hub of the dilator.

(c) Dilator. The dilator made of TPE contains a full-length round lumen to allow placement over a guide wire. The distal end of the dilator is configured as a tapered tip that extends about 2 cm beyond the end of the sheath when the dilator is fully inserted through the sheath. An integral, color coded luer hub that is over-molded onto the proximal end of the dilator supports handling of the dilator and provides a snap fit connection to the valve housing cap at the proximal end of the sheath introducer.

The shaft and the hemostasis valve are pre-assembled and packaged together with one or two dilators (depending on the model), that is sealed inside a medical grade Tyvek pouch on which a product label is placed. Devices are packaged in labeled packers containing five units and one Instruction for Use (IFU) booklet. The device has a shelf life of three years.

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a prescription medical device that is used only in healthcare facilities or hospitals. The device is placed in patients for up to 24 hours.

Devices are sterilized using ethylene oxide (maximum levels of remaining tested sterilant residuals of EO

Dear Jan Kloboucnik:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

List of Tests

10

The device is cleared for use in Europe (CE certification no.2017847CE05). Feedback recorded from 16 clinical cases performed in 7 centers in Germany in April and May 2014 demonstrated that the subject device performs comparably with the secondary predicate and other legally marked devices and is safe and effective. The performance is identical with the primary predicate. No clinical testing is being submitted to support review of this 510(k) premarket notification.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Results demonstrate that the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System performs identically with the primary predicate, comparably with the second predicate and other legally marketed devices, and is safe and effective. 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.
