Device Description
Major components of the Super Sheath (Proposed) are a sheath and a dilator. In addition, a guidewire is covered under this premarket notification. The guidewire is placed in the guidewire case including the inserter. The sheath for the Super Sheath (Proposed) is named as the Super Sheath (Proposed) Introducer Sheath and is available in 4F- 9F diameters and in lengths ranging from 7 to 25 cm. Some types of sheaths have radiopaque markers. The Super Sheath (Proposed) are provided sterile and are intended for one procedure use only. The one-piece construction of the sheath shaft and hub allows smooth passage of concomitantly used interventional medical devices. The sheath shaft and hub are made from Ethylene Tetrafluoro ethylene (ETFE) and polyamide. The hubs contain a hemostatic valve to minimize blood leakage during a procedure. A side tube equipped with a three-way stopcock is attached to the sheath hub. The side tube extension may be used for fluid and medication administration, as well as blood sampling. Some types of sheaths contain a marker band that is embedded in the shaft approximately 2.0 mm from the distal tip. The dilator is an open tapered plastic tube with an integral luer hub for guidewire insertion. The dilator is inserted into the introducer sheath. The dilator is longer than the sheath with a rounded tapered distal tip. The dilator facilitates and supports the entry of the sheath into the patient's vasculature. Once the sheath is in place, the dilator is removed. There are two different dilator distal tip sizes, 0.038" and 0.035" guidewire compatible. The 4F dilators are only available with a 0.035"guidewire lumen dilator. The 5-9F dilators are available with a 0.035" or 0.038" guidewire lumen. The 4-8F dilator tubes are made from Polypropylene (PP). The 9F dilator tubes are made from Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene. The dilator tubes are attached to the inner hub with a metal bush. The dilator is locked into the sheath by rotating motion. The Super Sheath (Proposed) has a polypropylene suture wing which is color coded by French size. The suture wing is a small projection near the hub with a hole in it for correct placement of the sheath using sutures. The uncoated guidewire is made of a stainless steel coil wrapped tightly around an inner mandrel that tapers at the distal tip. The flexible tip is J-shaped available in diameters of 0.035" and 0.038". The guidewire, with inserter, is available in 45 cm and 80 cm lengths. The inserter is used strictly for guiding the guidewire into a cannula or introducer.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and material properties of a vascular introducer sheath, dilator, and guidewire. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an introducer sheath and dilator, used for the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices, rather than directly treating a condition itself.

No

The device is an introducer sheath and dilator, which are accessories used for the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices, rather than being a diagnostic device itself. The "Intended Use" states it is for the "introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices."

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a sheath, dilator, and guidewire, made from materials like ETFE, polyamide, and stainless steel. It also mentions features like radiopaque markers, hemostatic valves, and suture wings, all indicative of a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices inserted into the peripheral and coronary vasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate other procedures, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a sheath, dilator, and guidewire designed for insertion into blood vessels. These are all components used directly in a medical procedure on a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for vascular access and procedural support, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the device f.

Major components of the Super Sheath (Proposed) are a sheath and a dilator. In addition, a guidewire is covered under this premarket notification. The guidewire is placed in the guidewire case including the inserter.

The sheath for the Super Sheath (Proposed) is named as the Super Sheath (Proposed) Introducer Sheath and is available in 4F- 9F diameters and in lengths ranging from 7 to 25 cm. Some types of sheaths have radiopaque markers. The Super Sheath (Proposed) are provided sterile and are intended for one procedure use only.

The one-piece construction of the sheath shaft and hub allows smooth passage of concomitantly used interventional medical devices. The sheath shaft and hub are made from Ethylene Tetrafluoro ethylene (ETFE) and polyamide.

The hubs contain a hemostatic valve to minimize blood leakage during a procedure. A side tube equipped with a three-way stopcock is attached to the sheath hub. The side tube extension may be used for fluid and medication administration, as well as blood sampling. Some types of sheaths contain a marker band that is embedded in the shaft approximately 2.0 mm from the distal tip.

The dilator is an open tapered plastic tube with an integral luer hub for guidewire insertion. The dilator is inserted into the introducer sheath. The dilator is longer than the sheath with a rounded tapered distal tip. The dilator facilitates and supports the entry of the sheath into the patient's vasculature. Once the sheath is in place, the dilator is removed. There are two different dilator distal tip sizes, 0.038" and 0.035" guidewire compatible. The 4F dilators are only available with a 0.035"guidewire lumen dilator. The 5-9F dilators are available with a 0.035" or 0.038" guidewire lumen. The 4-8F dilator tubes are made from Polypropylene (PP). The 9F dilator tubes are made from Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene. The dilator tubes are attached to the inner hub with a metal bush. The dilator is locked into the sheath by rotating motion.

The Super Sheath (Proposed) has a polypropylene suture wing which is color coded by French size. The suture wing is a small projection near the hub with a hole in it for correct

placement of the sheath using sutures.

The uncoated guidewire is made of a stainless steel coil wrapped tightly around an inner mandrel that tapers at the distal tip. The flexible tip is J-shaped available in diameters of 0.035" and 0.038". The guidewire, with inserter, is available in 45 cm and 80 cm lengths. The inserter is used strictly for guiding the guidewire into a cannula or introducer.

g. Indications for Use Statement

The device is indicated for use in the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices inserted into the peripheral and coronary vasculature.

h. Comparative Information
