No clinical data. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, hemocompatibility, complement activation). Functional testing included dimensional verification, hub workmanship, luer taper compliance (ANSI/HIMA MD70.1, ISO 594-2), tensile strength (ISO 11070), tip integrity, and guidewire compatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) body and hub. Dimensions: 6F-17.5F O.D., 8.40-8.66 in length. Guidewire compatibility: 0.018" and 0.038". Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Mechanical dilation principle. Standards: ISO 10993-1, ISO 11070, ANSI/HIMA MD70.1, ISO 594-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for percutaneous entry into a vessel to enlarge the opening for catheter placement in a vein or artery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vessel dilator for percutaneous catheterization is a device which is placed over the guide wire to enlarge the opening in the vessel, and which is then removed before sliding the catheter over the guide wire.

## 1. Device Description
The MEDRON Vessel Dilator is a dilator consisting of a radiopaque HDPE (high density polyethylene) shaft with an overmolded HDPE Hub. The dilator comes in a variety of diameters ranging from 6F to 17.5F. It is also available in two models, a straight model and a stepped model. The straight model has a consistent diameter along the length of the shaft until it tapers at the distal tip. In the stepped model, the distal segment of the dilator shaft has a smaller diameter than the proximal segment as well as a taper at the distal tip.
