## Indications for Use

The Medtronic® Zuma™ Guiding Catheter is designed to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced. The guiding catheter is intended to be used in the coronary or peripheral vascular system.

## Device Story

The Medtronic® Zuma™ Guiding Catheter is a 6F vascular catheter used to provide a pathway for introducing therapeutic devices into the coronary or peripheral vascular system. It features a braided proximal shaft, an inner liner, and a soft distal tip, with a thin lubricious coating on the inner lumen. Compared to existing catheters, it offers a larger inner lumen diameter and a stiffer shaft. It is intended for use by clinicians in a vascular setting. The device facilitates the delivery of interventional tools to target sites within the vasculature.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was successfully performed on all materials. Performance testing verified that the device meets all applicable specifications.

## Technological Characteristics

6F outer diameter; braided proximal shaft; inner liner; soft distal tip; thin lubricious coating on inner lumen. Larger inner lumen diameter and stiffer shaft compared to predicate devices. Biocompatibility testing performed.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Medtronic® Vector™ X Guiding Catheter
- Cordis® Brite Tip® Guiding Catheter
