Components include access needle (21G echogenic or 20G Trocar), 0.018" guidewire, dilator, and catheter with radiopaque marker band. Compatible with guidewires ≤0.038"/0.965mm. Used by clinicians in clinical settings to gain vascular access. Device enables guidewire placement and contrast injection, aiding diagnostic or interventional procedures. Benefits include reliable vascular access and visualization via radiopaque marker. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical evaluations were conducted. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including aspiration, corrosion resistance, leakage, curve retention, pressure testing, kink testing, tortuosity, coating performance, torque, and fluoroscopic visualization. ## Technological Characteristics Kit includes access needle, 0.018" guidewire, dilator, and catheter with radiopaque marker band. Compatible with guidewires up to 0.038". Features hydrophilic coating. Bench testing verified mechanical integrity (torque, kink, pressure, aspiration). No software or electronic components. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - InnerChange Micro-Introducer Catheter ([K073585](/device/K073585.md)) - AccuStick II (K unknown) - Neff Percutaneous Access Set (K unknown) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
