(21 CFR 870.1200, Product Code DQO) | #### Predicate Devices Renegade STC™ 18 Microcatheter (K023681, K020012), manufactured by Boston Scientific Corporation. AngioDynamics Soft-Vu and AngioDynamics Mariner Hydrophilic Coated Catheters (K061733), manufactured by AngioDynamics, Inc. #### Device Description The Gandras catheter is an angiographic intravascular catheter that has a working length of approximately 80cm, not including the tip length. The Gandras catheter is offered in three tip lengths-2cm (model 5580), 4cm (model 5581), or 6cm (model 5582). Each catheter assembly has a single lumen that is formed by a segment of nylon that extends distally from the hub, a segment of 40 durometer Pebax that extends distally from the nylon, and pellethane that forms the distal tip. Each catheter also has a Texin outer layer that overlays the nylon and pebax tubing in the mid-shaft. The distal 10-15cm of the catheter is hydrophilically coated to provide a lubricious outer surface. The catheter's radiopacity is provided by 40% bismuth subcarbonate loading in the nylon, 60% tungsten loading in the Pebax, and 65% tungsten loading in the pellethane tubing components. FEB - 1 2003 {1}------------------------------------------------ Each catheter has a press-fit luer hub and strain relief on the proximal end, and a peelable tip straightener. Each Gandras catheter is compatible with ≥5F introducer sheaths and <0.035" guidewires. The Gandras catheter is provided sterile and intended for a single use. #### Intended Use/Indications for Use The Gandras catheter is designed to be used for delivering embolic materials and radiopaque media to selected sites in the vascular system. Diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents are to be used in accordance with specifications outlined by the manufacturer. #### Summary of Non-clinical Testing Bench testing was conducted on the Gandras catheter, including the packaging, and included an assessment of the physical properties of the device and its ability to achieve its intended use. The results of the tests confirmed the suitability of the device for its intended use. Each bench test that was conducted is listed, below. | Hydrophilic coating lubricity | Dynamic pressure | |--------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | Visual inspection | Liquid leak under pressure | | Packaging stylet removal force | Static pressure | | Corrosion resistance | Leak During Aspiration | | Catheter Radiopacity | Kink resistance | | Curve retention | Hub bond strength | | Guidewire passage | Proximal to mid shaft strength | | Introducer sheath passage | Mid to distal shaft strength | | Tortuosity | Tip straightener peel test | | Embolic material passage | Packaging-Product Visual Appearance after Distribution Testing | | Flow rate with contrast | Packaging-Label Legibility after Distribution Testing | #### Summary of Clinical Testing Clinical evaluations were not required for this device. #### Statement of Equivalence The Gandras catheter is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Renegade STC. Soft Vu, and Mariner catheters, based on comparisons of the device classifications, indications for use, technological characteristics, and sterilization methods. #### Conclusion The Gandras catheter is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Renegade STC. Soft Vu. and Mariner catheters, based on comparisons of the device classifications, indications for use, technological characteristics, and sterilization methods. Bench tests confirmed the suitability of the device for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
