Indications for Use
The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer System is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the coronary and peripheral vasculature of adult and pediatric patients of all ages.
Device Story
MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer is a single-patient-use, disposable device consisting of a dilator and an outer sheath. Used in percutaneous procedures to facilitate catheter/device entry into coronary and peripheral vasculature. Physician operates device by inserting dilator and sheath into vasculature; sheath hub/wing design allows longitudinal splitting (peeling) for removal after device placement. Dilator features tapered tip and luer hub for guidewire insertion. Sheath hub and dilator hub lock via rotating motion. Device provides a pathway for interventional tools; benefits patient by enabling minimally invasive access to vasculature. Used in clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Functional testing included penetration (insertion) force, sheath peel force, sheath perpendicular pull, and dilator pull tests. Sterilization validated per ISO 11135-1 (SAL 10^-6). Biocompatibility leveraged from predicate devices (K000313, K112398). Packaging and shelf-life integrity verified via visual and bubble emission testing.
Technological Characteristics
Components: Dilator (polyamide co-polymer), Sheath hub (high-density polypropylene), Sheath tube (PTFE with bismuth trioxide). Design: Tear-away winged hub, locking dilator. Sizes: 2F, 3F. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: None (mechanical).
Indications for Use
Indicated for percutaneous introduction of catheters and intravascular devices into coronary and peripheral vasculature in adult and pediatric patients of all ages.
Regulatory Classification

Image /page/1/Picture/2 description: The image shows a logo with a stylized letter 'G' at the top and the word 'GALT' below it. The 'G' is formed by a thick, black shape with a white, crescent-shaped cutout inside, creating a bold and recognizable symbol. The word 'GALT' is written in a simple, sans-serif font, positioned directly beneath the 'G' to complete the logo.
#### Device Description:
The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer is constructed using identical processes and materials as the predicate devices; Tearaway Introducer Sheath, Galt Medical, K000313 with the addition of smaller sizes 2 & 3French, and the Galt VTI™ Valved Tear-away Introducer, K112398 without the hemostasis valve.
The MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer device consists of two components; a dilator and an outer sheath. The outer sheath is a one piece, molded hub/sheath "tearaway" design that with minimal force will break and separate at the hub/wing to facilitate the removal of the sheath tube from the patient by peeling/splitting the tub longitudinally down its length. The dilator tube is an open plastic tube with an integral molded luer hub for guidewire insertion. The dilator is longer than the outer sheath with a tapered distal tip. The sheath hub and dilator hub lock together using a rotating motion to add in insertion of the device into the vasculature.
#### Materials of Construction:
Dilator hub: The hub of the dilator is made from a polyamide co-polymer resin base material with a white colorant .
Dilator Tube: The dilator tube is made from a polyamide co-polymer resin base material with a green colorant.
Sheath hub (wing): The sheath hub is made from a high density polypropylene base material with a blue or purple colorant depending on the French size.
Sheath tube: The sheath tube is made from PTFE, w/bismuth trioxide loading and a gray colorant.

Use Type: The MicroSlide ™ Tearaway Introducer is a single patient use, disposable device.
Summary of Non-Clinical Data Submitted: Functional testing was conducted to verify that the 2F & 3F MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducer met product specifications. Testing was conducted according to protocols based on international standards and Galt Medical requirements. Functional Testing included the following:
- Penetration (Insertion) Force Test Ref. XE-022 ■
- 트 Sheath Peel Force Test - Ref. XE-022
- Sheath Perpendicular Pull Test- Ref. XE-022 . "
- Dilator Pull Test- Ref. XE-022
Additionally the finished single device and kit versions of the 2F & 3F MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducers were adopted into the existing ethylene oxide sterilization cycle for the Tearaway Introducer and Galt VTI products which was validated in accordance with ISO 11135-1 using a frictional cycle/overkill approach to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 °. The ethylene oxide sterilization validation report is provided in Section 14, TAB 14.1
Biocompatibility testing was performed on the predicate devices provided in K000313 and K112398. The devices tested under K000313 and K112398 included raw materials and packaging materials utilized in the 2F & 3F MicroSlide™ Tearaway Introducers and is included in Section 15, TAB 15.1 of this 510(k) premarket notification. Additional testing was not conducted.
Packaging and product shelf life testing was conducted according domestic and international standards and in-house requirements, and includes the following:
- . Package integrity (Visual)
- .. Package integrity (Bubble Emission)
- . Sheath Peel Force Test
- . Sheath Perpendicular Pull Test
- 미 Dilator Pull Test
Final reports for packaging and product shelf life testing is provided in Section 18, TAB 18.2 , Test 0546 and TAB 18.3, Test 0541 of this 510(k) premarket notification.
Summary of Risk Management: Risk assessment is addressed in the Risk Management Report and FMEA "Tearaway Products Family", FMEA-022. Current controls have been identified and all potential Failure Modes identified in the FMEA currently fall into the "Broadly Acceptable" region as defined by Galt procedure # OP-072, Conducting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. The risk analysis for the MicroSlide™ and Tearaway Introducer family is provided in Section 12, Tab 12.1.
Conclusion of Substantial Equivalence: The basis of substantial equivalence for the MicroSlide™ 2F & 3F Tearaway Introducer is based on the similarities in intended use, materials, function, performance, sterilization, design, technology and operational principle to the predicate devices. Risks associated with the smaller French sizes and new patient population were assessed and mitigated if applicable.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for Galt. The logo features a stylized letter "G" in a bold, sans-serif font. The letter "G" is partially filled in, creating a negative space within the letter. Below the letter "G", the word "GALT" is written in a similar bold, sans-serif font.
Due to these similarities, Galt Medical believes that the MicroSlide™ 2F & 3F Tearaway Introducer does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues and is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices.
