Dear Wee Wen Leow:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

## Device Description:
The Sentrant Introducer Sheath is a single-use, disposable, hydrophilic-coated catheter designed to provide a flexible and hemostatic conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices and to minimize blood loss associated with vascular procedures. The system is comprised of a dilator and an introducer sheath. The system accommodates a 0.035 in (0.89 mm) guidewire and is available in 28 and 64 cm lengths and in sizes from 12 to 26 Fr in 2 French increments.
The dilator is radiopaque and has a flexible tapered tip that facilitates atraumatic tracking through the vasculature. There is a dilator grip at the proximal end of the dilator shaft. The dilator grip has a female Luer taper fitting on the proximal end to allow flushing of the device, and a threaded-feature at the distal end to allow the dilator to be secured to the sheath seal housing (dilator locking mechanism).
The introducer sheath is comprised of a hydrophilic-coated, coil-reinforced catheter that is attached to a rigid seal housing containing the hemostatic valve assembly. A sideport extension assembly with a 3-way valve is attached to the seal housing. A radiopaque (RO) marker band is located at the distal tip of the sheath. The device also has a suture loop for attaching it to the patient and a strain relief to minimize kinking of the catheter where it joins to the seal housing.
## Intended Use:
The Sentrant Introducer Sheath with Hydrophilic Coating is intended to provide a conduit for the insertion of diagnostic or endovascular devices into the vasculature and minimize blood loss associated with such insertions.
#### Comparison of Technical Characteristics:
The Sentrant Introducer Sheath with Hydrophilic Coating, sterilized via Ethylene Oxide, has the same fundamental technological characteristics as the predicate device. Sentrant Introducer Sheath with Hydrophilic Coating, sterilized via E-beam irradiation. The form, fit, function, and principles of operation are the same.

#### Non-Clinical Performance Data:
The following tests were performed on the subject device to demonstrate that the device meets performance requirements for its intended use. All the predetermined acceptance criteria were met and results passed to support a determination of substantial equivalence.
- . Design Verification Testing
- Sterilization Validation per requirements of ISO 11135 .
- Biocompatibility Testing per the requirements of ISO 10993-1 .
- . Packaging Design Verification Testing per requirements of ISO 11607-1
- . Shelf Life Testing
#### Conclusion:
The Sentrant Introducer Sheath with Hydrophilic Coating, sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (Et(), is substantially equivalent in intended use, technological characteristics, and performance to the previously cleared Sentrant Introducer Sheath (K123990). The subject device has the same fundamental technological characteristics, principles of operation, and applications as the predicate device.
