Intended Use
The M-Y Sheath is intended to enable delivery of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature, excluding coronary and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The M-Y Sheath is a contralateral access guiding sheath with a proximal hemostatic valve and an integrated fixed wire at its distal end. The fixed wire is attached to the sidewall of the sheath and extends beyond the distal tip of the sheath and is used to provide sheath support during use. The wire distal end is first introduced through the ipsilateral in-dwelling femoral sheath introducer. then snared and externalized through an in-dwelling contralateral sheath introducer, thereby allowing the sheath to be positioned over the bifurcation by gentle simultaneous pushing and pulling the device using a "flossing" technique. Once the M-Y sheath tip is positioned at the desired location in the contralateral vasculature. the wire can be externally secured (e.g. using a pin vise), thereby providing stability and support when advancing interventional tools (e.g. angioplasty balloons, stents, etc.). The M-Y Sheath is compatible to fit through a standard 7 French femoral sheath introducer placed in the ipsilateral leg. The M-Y Sheath luminal diameter is sized to be compatible with 5 French therapeutic and diagnostic devices.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical design and function of a guiding sheath and do not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

No
The M-Y Sheath is intended to facilitate the delivery of other interventional and diagnostic devices, rather than providing therapy itself.

No

The M-Y Sheath is described as a "contralateral access guiding sheath" intended to "enable delivery of interventional and diagnostic devices." It is a tool for delivering other devices, not a device that itself diagnoses. While it facilitates the use of diagnostic devices, it is not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device (sheath with a fixed wire) and the performance studies focus on bench testing, biocompatibility, and in-vitro simulations of a physical device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "enable delivery of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature". This describes a device used within the body to facilitate procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical sheath with a wire, designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an interventional/diagnostic tool used in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to determining the presence or absence of a disease or condition through in vitro testing.

Therefore, the M-Y Sheath is a medical device used for interventional and diagnostic procedures within the human body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description:

The M-Y Sheath is a contralateral access guiding sheath with a proximal hemostatic valve and an integrated fixed wire at its distal end. The fixed wire is attached to the sidewall of the sheath and extends beyond the distal tip of the sheath and is used to provide sheath support during use. The wire distal end is first introduced through the ipsilateral in-dwelling femoral sheath introducer. then snared and externalized through an in-dwelling contralateral sheath introducer, thereby allowing the sheath to be positioned over the bifurcation by gentle simultaneous pushing and pulling the device using a "flossing" technique. Once the M-Y sheath tip is positioned at the desired location in the contralateral vasculature. the wire can be externally secured (e.g. using a pin vise), thereby providing stability and support when advancing interventional tools (e.g. angioplasty balloons, stents, etc.). The M-Y Sheath is compatible to fit through a standard 7 French femoral sheath introducer placed in the ipsilateral leg. The M-Y Sheath luminal diameter is sized to be compatible with 5 French therapeutic and diagnostic devices.

Indications for Use:

The M-Y Sheath is intended to enable delivery of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature, excluding coronary and neuro vasculature.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The M-Y Sheath has the same intended use and similar indication, mechanism of action, and procedural outcomes as the Cook Flexor® Check-Flo Introducer Sheath, RAABE Modification (the predicate device). The M-Y Sheath and predicate device are intended to be used as introducer sheaths, allowing the introduction of subsequent devices into the vascular system. The M-Y Sheath functions in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device. The technological differences between the M-Y Sheath and its predicate do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate substantial equivalence in terms of safety and performance to the predicate device.

The validation of the functional performance of the M-Y Sheath in a clinical simulation bench model was successfully completed and passed all specified criteria.

Additionally, the M-Y Sheath was evaluated in an in-vitro 3-D anatomy simulation model. This evaluation was conducted with both the M-Y Sheath and predicate device to enable side-by-side comparative performance. The two devices were evaluated in an in-vitro 3-D anatomy simulation model by performing a clinical use simulation of a diagnostic/interventional procedure in the peripheral anatomy (e.g. below the knee).

In addition, the performance of the M-Y Sheath and predicate device were challenged by conducting a procedure in a worst case anatomical condition. A simulated total occlusion at the

target treatment site was included to test the ability of the sheath to provide support when the interventional device is delivered and advanced to cross the occlusion.

The test results satisfied all specified acceptance criteria and substantiated that the M-Y Sheath performs in a manner substantially equivalent to the cited predicate.

Summary:

Based upon the device description and test data provided in this pre-market notification the M-Y Sheath is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate device.
