Intended Use
The 14F iSLEEVE™ Introducer Set is intended to facilitate femoral access to the vascular system for introduction and removal of cardiovascular devices. The iSLEEVE Introducer Set is suitable for use in vessels ≥ 5.5 mm diameter.
Device Description
The 14F iSLEEVE Introducer Set is a sterile, single-use introducer catheter that provides percutaneous access to the femoral artery for introduction and removal of cardiovascular devices into the vascular system. The 14F iSLEEVE Introducer Set is composed of a dilator and an introducer sheath with a three-way stopcock. The distal end of the introducer sheath is passively expandable which allows for transient sheath expansion when the compatible valve system is introduced through it. Once expanded, this region of the introducer sheath is radially compliant, which allows it to expand and collapse as needed during device delivery and removal. This reduces the time the access vessel is expanded. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the working end of the iSLEEVE introducer sheath which increases the lubricity to aid in delivery when activated. A product mandrel and flushing tube are also supplied with the iSLEEVE Introducer Set.

The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of the introducer set, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is an introducer set designed to facilitate access to the vascular system for other cardiovascular devices, rather than providing therapy itself.

No

This device, the 14F iSLEEVE™ Introducer Set, is an introducer catheter designed to facilitate access to the vascular system for other cardiovascular devices. Its purpose is to physically introduce or remove other devices, not to diagnose medical conditions through analysis or measurement.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a dilator, introducer sheath, stopcock, mandrel, and flushing tube, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate femoral access to the vascular system for introduction and removal of cardiovascular devices." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, dilator, and sheath designed for insertion into a blood vessel. This aligns with an interventional device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnosing a condition based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the 14F iSLEEVE™ Introducer Set is a medical device used for vascular access during cardiovascular procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Modifications to the predicate device were assessed according to risk-based failure mode effects analysis and with consideration of FDA Guidance, Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters, September 8, 2010. The following non-clinical testing was successfully completed on the modified device.

  • Coating Material and Length
  • Coating Lubricity and Durability (L&D)
  • Introducer System Advancement Force
  • Maximum Junction OD
  • Particulate Evaluation
  • Coating Integrity
  • Visual Appearance

Testing demonstrated that the modified 14F iSLEEVE Introducer Set met all previously established acceptance criteria. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during verification activities, thereby supporting a determination of substantial equivalence.

Biocompatibility testing was also assessed with consideration recommendations per ISO 10993-1. Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: 10993-1 (issued September 2020) for devices categorized as externally communicating with limited (

Dear Kendall Lindenman:

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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
