Intended Use

The peripheral guiding catheter is intended to provide a pathway through which therapeutic and diagnostic devices are introduced into the peripheral vasculature. The inner catheter is intended to provide support during the introduction and withdrawal of a guiding catheter.

Device Story

VERIPATH™ Peripheral Guiding Catheter is a single-lumen catheter designed to provide a pathway for interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral vasculature. It includes an inner catheter to assist with introduction and withdrawal. The device is used by physicians during vascular procedures. It allows for contrast medium injections and facilitates device passage. Available in various lengths (40-80 cm) and French sizes (6F, 7F, 8F) with varying tip shapes to accommodate patient anatomy. The device is a mechanical tool; it does not involve electronic processing, software, or AI.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Single-lumen catheter; available in 6F, 7F, and 8F sizes; working lengths 40-80 cm. Includes an inner catheter for introduction/withdrawal. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in peripheral vascular procedures to facilitate the introduction and withdrawal of diagnostic and therapeutic devices (e.g., balloon dilatation catheters, atherectomy devices, stent delivery systems, intravascular ultrasound devices).

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.

Device description, Continued

Guiding Catheter

The guiding catheter is a single lumen catheter that allows contrast medium iniections and facilitates the intravascular passage of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into the vascular system.

The guiding catheter has a standard working length of 50 cm and a standard overall length of 56 cm, but can be produced in overall lengths from 40 to 80 cm, depending upon physician preference and patient size.

The guiding catheter is available in three diameters/French sizes (F), as follows: 6F (0.068" ID, 0.82" OD), 7F (0.078" ID, 0.93" OD), 8F (0.088" ID, 0.105" OD). The guiding catheter is available in varying tip shapes designed for peripheral use. Each shape is specific for patient anatomy and physician preference, and therefore a wide range of shapes is available.

#### Inner Catheter

Also included in the VERIPATH™ device package is an inner catheter. The inner catheter is a single lumen catheter with a luer at the proximal end and is recommended for use with the guiding catheter to aid in the introduction and withdrawal of the guiding catheter.

The inner catheter has a standard working length of 65 cm and a standard overall length of 67 cm, but can be produced in lengths from 55 to 95 cm depending upon physician preference and patient size. The inner catheter is straight and available in three diameters/French sizes (F), as follows: 6F (0.062" OD), 7F (0.072" OD), and 8F (0.082" OD) and may be sold either with or without a taper at the tip.
