Intended Use
The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is indicated for use in peripheral arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices. The Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is NOT indicated for use in the neurovasculature nor the coronary vasculature.
Device Story
Halo One Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath functions as both guiding and introducer sheath for peripheral vascular procedures. Device consists of braided single-lumen tubing with female luer hub, atraumatic distal tip, and platinum-iridium radiopaque marker. Supplied with vessel dilator (compatible with 0.035" guidewire) and optional hemostasis valve with crosscut silicone membrane and 3-way stopcock. Longer configurations feature hydrophilic coating for lubricity. Used in clinical settings by physicians for percutaneous access. Device facilitates insertion of intravascular tools; provides stable conduit for device delivery; minimizes vessel trauma via thin-walled design and atraumatic tip. Healthcare providers use device to gain vascular access and guide interventional instruments to target peripheral sites.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance evaluated via in vitro testing including visual inspection, simulated use, dimensional testing, radiopacity, penetration force, trackability, kink/bend radius, leak testing, tensile strength, and hub stress testing. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1 for externally communicating, circulating blood, limited contact (<24 hrs) devices, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, reactivity, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility, and pyrogenicity.
Technological Characteristics
Braided single-lumen tubing; 1F wall thickness; platinum-iridium marker band; hydrophilic coating on distal portion. Includes vessel dilator and hemostasis valve (silicone membrane). Sterilization method not specified. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Mechanical features: strain relief at hub, 3-way stopcock, snap-fit dilator.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing peripheral arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices. Not for use in neurovasculature or coronary vasculature.

#### Device Description:
The Halo One™ Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is designed to perform as both a guiding sheath and introducer sheath. The Halo One™ Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath consists of a thin-walled (1F wall thickness) sheath made from braided single-lumen tubing, fitted with a female luer hub at the proximal end and has a formed atraumatic distal tip.
A supplied hemostasis valve, employing a crosscut silicone membrane and incorporating a side arm terminating in a 3-way stopcock, may be connected to the sheath luer hub. The sheath is supplied with a compatible vessel dilator that snaps securely into the hemostasis valve hub. The sheath has a strain relief feature located at the luer hub and a radiopaque platinum-iridium marker located close to the distal tip.
The vessel dilator is compatible with a 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire. The longer sheath configurations are provided with a hydrophilic coating over the distal portion of the sheath to provide a lubricious surface to ease insertion. The short sheath configuration is marketed with an appropriately sized guide wire for initial insertion of the device.
#### Indications for Use of Device:
The Halo One™ Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is indicated for use in peripheral arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of intravascular devices. The Halo One™ Thin-Walled Guiding Sheath is NOT indicated for use in the neurovasculature nor the coronary vasculature.
