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 coatinq 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.

No
The document describes a mechanical introducer set with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device (introducer set) facilitates access for other cardiovascular devices and is not itself intended to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is an introducer set designed to facilitate access to the vascular system for the introduction and removal of other cardiovascular devices, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a dilator, introducer sheath, stopcock, product mandrel, and flushing tube, indicating it is a hardware 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.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, dilator, sheath, and stopcock, all components used for accessing blood vessels and introducing other devices. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is clearly designed for use in vivo to facilitate a medical procedure.

Dear Alyssa Manno:

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 (the 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 available 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

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 coatinq 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.

Indications for Use / 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.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The modified device includes an enhanced transition point between the sheath and hub components. There are no other design changes associated with this 510(k).

Comparison of the new design and the currently marketed predicate device show that the technological characteristics such as performance, materials, design, sterilization, biocompatibility, and packaging are equivalent. The subject 14F iSLEEVE Introducer Set intended purpose and principles of operation also remain unchanged.

Non-clinical Performance Data

Modifications to the predicate device were assessed according to risk-based failure mode effects analysis. The following non-clinical testing was successfully completed on the modified device.

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

Conclusion

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, the iSLEEVE Introducer Set has been shown to be appropriate for its intended use and is considered to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate.
