Class 2
Intended Use
The 8F Modified Sheath System is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature.
Device Story
The 8F Modified Sheath System is a percutaneous catheter system used by physicians trained in endovascular techniques to provide vascular access. The system consists of a sheath, a navigating catheter, a dilator, and a rotating hemostasis valve (RHV). The sheath acts as a conduit for interventional devices; the dilator facilitates percutaneous entry into the femoral artery; the navigating catheter assists in placement. All catheters feature variable stiffness, radiopaque markers for visualization, and hydrophilic coatings to reduce friction. The device is used in clinical settings to provide a stable pathway for other intravascular tools. By providing a reinforced conduit, the system facilitates the delivery of interventional devices to target sites in the peripheral and neuro vasculature, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes during endovascular interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data or animal testing was required. Substantial equivalence was established through non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, cytotoxicity, and hemocompatibility assays) and mechanical performance testing (dimensional verification, luer integrity, tensile strength, kink/torsion resistance, leakage, coating integrity, and simulated use).
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen, variable stiffness catheters; hydrophilic coating; radiopaque marker bands. Materials: polymers and metals standard for medical devices. Dimensions: 8F inner diameter, 90cm/80cm working lengths. Connectivity: N/A. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EtO) per ISO 11135. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vasculature in patients requiring endovascular procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.
