The shaft has a hydrophilic coating to facilitate ease of advancement into the vasculature. The distal tip of the PiggyBack has a radiopaque marker band. The proximal end of the catheter, which remains outside of the patient, has a locking mechanism that secures the PiggyBack onto the 0.014" guide wire. The PiggyBack is provided in three working lengths: 80 cm, 120 cm, and 145 cm. #### Intended Use / Indications The PiggyBack wire converter is intended to be used with guide wires to access the peripheral vasculature and to facilitate placement of interventional devices. #### Substantial Equivalence and Summary of Studies The PiggyBack wire converter is substantially equivalent in intended use and indications to the predicate device. Technological differences in design and materials have been qualified through biomaterial assessments and verification testing, the results of which did not raise any new safety or performance questions. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
