Intended Use
The MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath is intended to facilitate the introduction of endoscopes and other instruments into the urinary tract. The MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath is indicated for use in endoscopic procedures to facilitate the passage of endoscopes, urological instruments and for the injection of fluids into the urinary tract, and as a lubricious barrier between the ureteral tissue and the endoscope or instrument.
Device Story
The MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath is a urological introducer sheath designed to facilitate endoscopic access to the urinary tract. The device consists of an outer tube pre-loaded with a film membrane and a pusher tube that provides a lumen for the introduction of endoscopes and urological instruments. It functions as a conduit for instruments and a lubricious barrier to protect ureteral tissue during passage. Used in clinical settings by urologists during endoscopic procedures, the device simplifies instrument insertion and fluid injection. By providing a stable, lubricated pathway, it reduces friction and potential trauma to the ureteral wall, facilitating safer and more efficient urological interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrated no significant difference in the performance of the MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath compared to the predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Consists of a film membrane covering an outer tube and a pusher tube providing a lumen for instrument introduction. The outer tube is pre-loaded with the film membrane. No specific materials or standards are disclosed.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic urological procedures requiring the introduction of endoscopes, instruments, or fluid injection into the urinary tract; serves as a lubricious barrier between ureteral tissue and instruments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A urological catheter and accessories is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract.

urinary tract, and as a lubricious barrier between the ureteral tissue and the endoscope or instrument.
## Technological Characteristics
The MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath consists of a film membrane covering an outer tube, and a pusher tube that provides a lumen for the introduction of endoscopes and instruments. The outer tube is pre-loaded with the film membrane.
### Performance Data
Performance data demonstrated no significant difference in the performance of the MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath and the predicate device.
## Substantial Equivalence
The MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath has the same intended use, indications for use, and principles of operation and very similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Thus, the MICROVERTER Ureteral Access Sheath is substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate devices.
