The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functionality of a guiding sheath and dilator, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device functions as a conduit and guiding sheath for other devices, rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect itself.
No
The Aveir™ Introducer is described as a "conduit" or "guiding sheath" for the insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices, rather than a diagnostic device itself. Its function is to facilitate the use of other devices, not to diagnose.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components (introducer sheath, dilator, stopcock, valve, radiopaque tip marker) and mentions manufacturing processes (ethylene oxide sterilization) and physical testing (bench testing, animal testing), indicating it is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Aveir™ Introducer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices." This describes a tool used within the body to facilitate procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical introducer sheath and dilator designed for insertion into the venous system. This aligns with an in-vivo (within the body) medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any processes related to diagnosing conditions based on in-vitro testing.
Therefore, the Aveir™ Introducer is an in-vivo medical device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Aveir™ Introducer is designed to perform as a guiding sheath for introduction of diagnostic or interventional devices. It is intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic or interventional devices. The Aveir™ Introducer has a 25 French (Fr) inner diameter and comes in two lengths - Model LSN25301, 30 cm. and Model LSN25501, 50 cm. The only difference between the two models is the length.
The Aveir™ Introducer comprises the following two components:
-
- Introducer sheath with a flush port and a three-way stopcock
The introducer sheath is coated with a hydrophilic coating and is fitted with a suture loop, a sideport with a three-way stopcock, and a hemostasis valve, which minimizes air introduced and maintains hemostasis during insertion and/or exchange. The sheath contains a radiopaque tip marker incorporated within the sheath material to identify the location of the distal tip sheath. The dilator contains a locking mechanism that locks the dilator into the introducer sheath.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the device meets its design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Biocompatibility Testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Aveir™ Introducer was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for biological evaluation and FDA Guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" issued September 4, 2020. For biological testing in animal models, testing was conducted in accordance with FDA Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations 21 CFR 58.
The Aveir™ Introducer is considered an external communicating device in contact with circulating blood for less than 24 hours per ISO 10993-1 guidelines.
The testing included the following: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation (Intracutaneous Reactivity), Acute Systemic Toxicity, Materials Mediated Pyrogenicity, Hemocompatibility (Direct contact and extract hemolysis, Complement activation assay SC5b-9, In-vivo thrombogenicity Anticoagulated Venous Implant (AVI) and Non-Anticoagulated Venous Implant (NAVI)), and Particulate Matter per USP .
Bench Testing:
- Design Verification (Physical and Dimensional Characteristics, Functional Characteristics, Hydrophilic Coating Lubricity and Durability)
- Packaging and Shelf Life Testing (Nominal T=0, Accelerated Aging 12-month)
Animal Testing:
Usability validation testing including the Aveir™ Introducer was conducted through an acute GLP study. This GLP study were performed as defined by 21 CFR Part 58 "Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies" at a USDA registered facility, which is also accredited by AAALAC International.
The usability study was conducted for the intended use workflows where the Introducer is utilized to implant or retrieve a leadless pacemaker via femoral vein.
Based on the results of usability validation testing, the Aveir™ Introducer possesses acceptable usability and acceptable residual usability risk based on the observed difficulties and use errors of the participants. All acceptance criteria were met under the conditions of the study. There were no observed use errors that could result in serious patient harm.
Conclusions: The resulting evidence obtained from the design verification and validation testing demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate Device
The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use, and similar technological characteristics and performance. Both the subject device and predicate devices are intended to provide a conduit into the venous system for insertion of diagnostic and other interventional devices.
At a high-level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following technological elements that are the same:

- Same intended use statement ●
- Radiopaque filler and radiopaque marker band in the distal tip to view its location during . a procedure
- Length options: 30 cm and 50 cm .
- A hermetic seal included in the Introducer's hub/seal to provide hemostasis ●
- . Smooth introducer tip transition and retention when the introducer sheath and dilator are connected, preventing movement of the introducer beyond the dilator tip transition, thus mitigating vessel trauma during insertion.
- The extrusions of the Introducer sheath and dilator are the same. ●
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- a 25 French (Fr) inner diameter to enable the Aveir™ leadless pacemaker to remain fully . covered during venous access to simplify the procedure and reduce risk of procedural error
- a twist locking mechanism to the dilator rather than a snap fit .
- a hydrophilic coating to the sheath for ease of insertion. .
These differences were evaluated through performance testing, which demonstrated that the A veir™ Introducer performs in a substantially equivalent manner to currently marketed predicate devices.
Performance Data
The Aveir™ Introducer is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on comparisons of the intended use, device functionality, and technological characteristics. The following performance testing was conducted to demonstrate that the device meets its design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices:
Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Aveir™ Introducer was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for biological evaluation and FDA Guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" issued September 4, 2020.
