Intended Use

The Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle is designed for percutaneous vasculature access or procedures requiring the placement of a guidewire.

Device Story

Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle facilitates percutaneous guidewire placement; contains passive magnet for detection by compatible ultrasound systems. When used with Pinpoint™ GT Technology, system creates virtual needle image on ultrasound display; provides visual representation of needle during insertion. Used in clinical settings by clinicians; assists in needle navigation; improves procedural accuracy; reduces risk of complications. Includes active safety guard mechanism to cover needle tip after use.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included dimensional analysis, assembly leak, bond strength, needle stiffness, ISO luer compliance, guidewire compatibility, safety mechanism override, visual inspection, corrosion, usability/simulated use, blood flash, echogenicity, magnet testing, and USP <788> particulate testing. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, rabbit blood hemolysis, partial thromboplastin time, and dog thrombogenicity.

Technological Characteristics

21-gauge needle with echogenic tip and passive magnet. Features active safety guard mechanism. Materials comply with ISO 9626 (stainless steel tubing). Luer fittings comply with ISO 594-1/2. Sterilization via ethylene oxide (ISO 11135). Connectivity: passive magnetic field emission for external ultrasound system detection.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring percutaneous access to place a guidewire for subsequent placement of catheters or other medical procedures requiring introducer needle access. May be used in any appropriate patient population.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
