## Indications for Use

The Twin-Pass .023" catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral vasculature, to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices, for use during two guidewire procedures and to subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostic or therapeutic agents. Additionally, the Twin-Pass .023" catheter is intended to be used to measure intraarterial pressure within the peripheral and coronary vasculature.

## Device Story

Polymeric dual-lumen catheter; over-the-wire lumen (≤0.018" guidewires) and rapid-exchange lumen (≤0.014" guidewires). Used in coronary and peripheral vasculature; compatible with ≥6F guide catheters. Includes stiffening mandrel for support during placement; radiopaque markerband and positioning marks for navigation. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Facilitates guidewire exchange, dual-guidewire procedures, and agent delivery. Enables intraarterial pressure measurement. Single-use; sterile.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Assessments included kink resistance, bond strength, guidewire/guide catheter interface, fluid leak/aspiration, and frequency response.

## Technological Characteristics

Polymeric dual-lumen catheter; ~135cm length. Over-the-wire lumen (≤0.018" wires); rapid-exchange lumen (≤0.014" wires). Radiopaque markerband; positioning marks at 95cm and 105cm. Includes stiffening mandrel. Compatible with ≥6F guide catheters. Sterile, single-use.

## Regulatory Identification

An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

#### Device Description

The Twin-Pass .023" catheter has a polymeric dual-lumen design. The over-the wire lumen extends from the luer hub to the catheter's distal end and accommodates ≤0.018 guidewires. The rapid-exchange lumen is on the distal 20cm of the catheter and accommodates ≤0.014 guidwires. The Twin-Pass .023" catheter is compatible with ≥6F guide catheters and has a working length of approximately 135cm. Each catheter has a single radiopaque markerband near its distal tip and printed positioning marks at 95cm and 105cm from the catheter's distal tip. Each catheter is supplied with a stiffening mandrel assembly that is inserted into the over-the-wire lumen to provide added support while placing the catheter at its desired location. The Twin Pass .023" catheter is provided sterile and intended for a single use.

Dear Ms. Tapper:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
