Intended Use
The 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is a single-use, vascular catheter consisting of a single lumen, variable stiffness, composite catheter. The device has an inner diameter (ID) of 0.088 inch and outer diameter (OD) of 0.105 inch designed with three different working lengths (80 cm, 90 cm, and 100 cm) and two different tip configurations (straight and multipurpose curve). The distal tip of the 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is visible under fluoroscopy and the distal shaft of the catheter is designed with an external hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a strain relief and a standard Luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The 6F Wallaby Long Sheath has a semi-rigid proximal shaft which transitions into a flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in tortuous anatomy. The 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is a non-active, surgically invasive device intended for short term use within the vasculature.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a vascular sheath, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing for diagnostic or analytical purposes.

No.
The device is a non-active, surgically invasive device used for the introduction of other interventional devices, not for therapeutic purposes itself.

No

The device is indicated for "introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature", which describes a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, single-use vascular catheter with specific dimensions, materials, and physical properties. It is described as a "non-active, surgically invasive device" and the performance studies focus on bench testing of physical characteristics and biocompatibility, not software validation.

Based on the provided information, the 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature." This describes a tool used during a medical procedure to facilitate the delivery of other devices, not a device used to perform a diagnostic test on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. It describes its dimensions, materials, and features that aid in navigation within the vasculature.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional properties of the device (e.g., strength, flexibility, lubricity, biocompatibility) and its ability to perform its intended function of delivering other devices. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or other metrics typically associated with IVDs.

In summary, the 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is a medical device used in interventional procedures, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information.

Clinical

No clinical testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence of the 6F Wallaby Long Sheath.

Conclusion

The 6F Wallaby Long Sheath is substantially equivalent to the predicate Neuron MAX System based on the non-clinical testing results, as well as similar principles of operation, materials of construction, packaging, usability, and the indications for use. Any differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
