## 11. Device Description

The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a Guide and a Dilator provided EtO sterile and for single use only. The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, an atraumatic distal tip, and a Dilator with a single central lumen. The central lumen of the Guide allows for aspiration of air and infusion of fluids such as saline, and serves as a conduit during introduction and or exchange of the Dilator and ancillary devices (e.g. catheters) that have a maximum diameter of .204". The atraumatic distal tip of the Steerable Guide Catheter is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy. The Dilator consists of a radiopaque shaft, an echogenic feature at the distal tip, a hemostasis valve with a flush port and an internal lumen designed to accept ancillary devices that have a maximum diameter of 0.035" (e.g. needles or guidewires). The Steerable Guide Catheter, Dilator and accessories are packaged in a tray enclosed in a sealed Tyvek pouch and boxed in a cardboard shelf-carton.
