The device description clearly details a physical medical device (sheath, handle, deflection knob, radiopaque body, marker band, flush adapter) used to deliver another device. It is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Amulet™ Steerable Delivery Sheath is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the delivery of the Amplatzer™ Amulet™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder." This describes a device used during a medical procedure to deliver another device into the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical sheath with features for navigation and delivery within the cardiac anatomy. It does not describe a device that analyzes samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic results. The device's function is purely mechanical and procedural.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Amulet™ Steerable Delivery Sheath does not fit this definition.

Device Description
The Amulet™ Steerable Delivery Sheath is designed to provide a pathway through which a device may be delivered. The sheath is provided in one size (14F), with a working length of 75 cm and a bi-directional distal tip to provide positioning in the cardiac anatomy. The handle is equipped with a deflection knob to deflect the tip clockwise 120° and counterclockwise 0°. The body of the sheath is radiopaque for visibility under fluoroscopy and has a marker band located in the dilator eases penetration of tissue. The sheath and dilator utilize a dual curve in two dimensions, resulting in a three-dimensional geometry. The 14F flush adapter facilitates the attachment of additional components.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following design verification and validation testing was provided in support of a substantial equivalence determination. Components not impacted by the design changes did not undergo additional testing.
Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation of the Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance: Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (2020), ISO 10993-1, ISO 14971 and ASTM F2475. The device is considered an external communicating device with limited (≤24 hour) contact with circulating blood, therefore evaluation was conducted in the following categories:
- Hemocompatibility
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Irritation
- Materials-Mediated Pyrogenicity
- Acute Systemic Toxicity
Design Verification
Bench testing, including shelf life testing, was conducted to demonstrate that the Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath met all performance specifications, including:
- Tensile Testing
- Torque Testing
- System Leak
- Dimensional
- Device Compatibility
- Luer Compatibility
- Handoff Force
- System Prep
- Visual Requirements
- Air Introduction
Sterilization
The Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath is intended for single use only and is provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO) gas to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 per ISO 11135. The Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath was adopted into routine cycles used to sterilize the primary predicate device, the Amplatzer Steerable Delivery System, based on a composition, packaging, design, pallet density, and bioburden levels per ANSI/AAMI TIR 28. An EO/ECH residuals assessment found the residuals to be acceptable with respect to the predicate device per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7, following 2X sterilization.
Packaging
Packaging verification studies were performed in complicable requirements of ASTM F2825, ASTM D4332, ASTM F2096; F1886/F1886M and ASTM F88/F88M. All device packaging met acceptance criteria following 2X sterilization, environmental conditioning and transport simulation.
Design Validation
A design validation study was performed to evaluate the Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath to deliver an Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder. In a benchtop simulated use model, physicians who have experience with left atrial appendage devices evaluated the performance of the Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath to deliver the Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder. The protocol acceptance criteria were met.
Human Factors
A Human Factors evaluation of the Amulet Steerable Delivery Sheath was performed to confirm the design changes did not introduce any new user-device interactions per the requirements of ANSI/AAM/IEC 62366-1. This evaluation did not observe any patterns of use errors or identify any new user-device interactions compared to the predicate device.
