The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a guiding sheath, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is a guiding sheath, a tool used to facilitate the introduction of other intravascular devices, not to directly treat a medical condition.
No
The device is a guiding sheath intended for the percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices for peripheral arterial and venous procedures. It facilitates access for other devices, but does not diagnose conditions itself.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as a sheath, luer hub, hemostasis valve, dilator, and radiopaque marker. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and testing of these hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "peripheral arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for procedural access, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details a physical sheath, dilator, and access kit components used for accessing blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on testing.
Therefore, the Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is an interventional medical device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is designed to perform as both a guiding sheath and an introducer sheath.
The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath consists of a thin-walled (Up to 1F reduction in outer diameter compared to standard sheaths of equivalent French size) sheath made from single-lumen tubing, fitted with a female luer hub at the proximal end and a formed atraumatic distal tip. The thin-wall design reduces the thickness of the sheath wall to help facilitate intravascular access from access sites including but not limited to radial, femoral, popliteal, tibial and pedal.
A detachable hemostasis valve, employing a crosscut silicone membrane and incorporating a side arm terminating in a 3-way stopcock, is connected to the sheath luer hub. The sheath is supplied with a compatible vessel dilator that snaps securely into the hemostasis valve hub. The sheath has a strain relief feature located at the luer hub and a radiopaque platinum-iridium marker located close to the distal tip.
The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding sheath is supplied in 4F, 5F and 6F compatible sizes and lengths of 90cm. 70cm. 45cm. 25cm and 10 cm. The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath 4F, 5F and 6F 25cm and 10cm sheaths will be offered with a 0.018" and 0.035" guide wire compatible dilator option.
The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is also offered as an access kit in 4F,5F and 6F 10cm and 25cm lengths incorporating access needle (21G x 4cm or 19G x 7cm option available) and access guidewire in both 0.018" (0.018" x 80cm or 0.018" x 50cm option available) and 0.035" (0.035" x 80cm or 0.035" x 50cm option available) configurations to the existing predicate device product range.
All sheath configurations (lengths) are provided with a hydrophilic coating over the distal portion of the sheath to provide a lubricious surface to ease insertion. The shorter sheath configurations (25cm and 10cm) are also provided without the coating.

Dear Annmarie Fitzgerald:
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.
