Intended Use

The Distal Access Catheter is indicated for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. It can be used to facilitate introduction of diagnostic agents or therapeutic devices. It is not intended for use in coronary arteries.

Device Story

Distal Access Catheter is a single-lumen, flexible, steam-shapeable catheter used to navigate neuro and peripheral vasculature. It facilitates delivery of diagnostic agents or therapeutic devices. Operated by physicians in clinical settings under fluoroscopic guidance. Device features coil and braid reinforcement for structural integrity and kink resistance; hydrophilic coating on distal 60 cm reduces friction. Radiopaque marker at distal tip enables visualization. Includes accessories: hemostatic valve, introducer sheath, and shaping mandrel. Physician shapes distal tip via steam, inserts catheter into vasculature, and uses luer fitting to attach accessories. Output is the successful delivery of diagnostic/therapeutic agents or devices to target sites. Benefits include improved access to tortuous vessels and procedural efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance verified via ISO 10555-1 standards, including tensile force, burst pressure, kink resistance, torque response, and simulated use in tortuous vessel models. Biocompatibility confirmed per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, hemolysis, thrombogenicity, pyrogenicity).

# III. PREDICATE DEVICE

Primary predicate device: SOFIA PLUS/Distal Access Catheter (K150366) Secondary predicate device: SOFIA Distal Access Catheter (K131482, K142014) These predicate devices have not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission.

## IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Distal Access Catheter consists of a catheter and accessories (hemostatic valve, introducer sheath, and a shaping mandrel). The catheter is a single-lumen, flexible catheter designed with coil and braid reinforcement. The distal segment is steamshapeable, and a hydrophilic coating is applied for navigation of the catheter through the vasculature. The radiopaque marker is located at the distal end of the catheter for visualization under fluoroscopy.

The catheter body is constructed with a stainless-steel coil (less 2 cm of the catheter length) over the inner lumen liner comprised of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). To provide additional shaft support, a stainless-steel wire braiding has been added over the stainless-steel coil from the proximal end to distal end. A platinum/iridium alloy radiopaque marker band is located at the distal tip of the catheter. An outer layer of varying durometers and lengths of polyamide (PA), polyether block amide (Pebax) and polyurethane (PU) covers the entire catheter body from proximal to distal end, respectively.

A hub (PC) is attached to the proximal end of the catheter. A strain relief made from polyether block amide (Pebax) is placed at the proximal end of the catheter and distal

{4}------------------------------------------------

end of the hub. The hub-strain relief provides for the kink resistance for the proximal end. A luer fitting on the catheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories.

The outer surface of the catheter (distal 60 cm) is coated with a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during navigation in the vasculature.

A shaping mandrel (stainless steel, 80 mm in length) is provided with the catheter to be used by the physician for tip shaping. An introducer sheath (PTFE) is included to facilitate the introduction of the catheter into guide catheters during clinical use. A hemostatic valve is used to connect to the proximal section of the catheter.

The Distal Access Catheter is provided sterile and for single use only. The catheter is placed in a dispenser tube (HDPE) and is placed on a packaging card (HDPE) that is provided in a sterile barrier PET/PE film and Tyvek pouch and placed in a carton box.

## V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Distal Access Catheter is indicated for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. It can be used to facilitate introduction of diagnostic agents or therapeutic devices. It is not intended for use in coronary arteries.
