System comprises steerable guide catheter and dilator. Guide features proximal/distal shafts, handle with steering knob, hemostasis valve with luer lock flush port, and radiopaque tip ring. Central lumen allows air aspiration, fluid infusion, and conduit for ancillary devices (max diameter 0.204"). Dilator includes radiopaque shaft, echogenic distal tip, and internal lumen for ancillary devices (max diameter 0.035"). Used in clinical settings under fluoroscopic guidance by physicians. Radiopaque components enable visualization. Single-use, EO sterile. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. In vitro testing included overall dimensions, bend test, guide-to-dilator transition, echogenicity, and radiopacity. ## Technological Characteristics Catheter and dilator system. Materials include radiopaque tip ring. Features: steerable handle, hemostasis valve, luer lock flush port. Dimensions: guide lumen 0.204", dilator lumen 0.035". Visualization: radiopaque tip and echogenic dilator tip for fluoroscopy/ultrasound. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Single-use. ## Regulatory Identification A steerable catheter is a catheter used for diagnostic and monitoring purposes whose movements are directed by a steering control unit. ## Predicate Devices - Evalve Steerable Guide Catheter ([K083793](/device/K083793.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a Steerable Guide (Guide) and a Dilator provided EO sterile and The Steerable Guide Catheter for single-use only. consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, a Dilator with a single central lumen and an atraumatic distal The central lumen of the Guide allows for tip. aspiration of air and infusion of fluids such as saline, and serves as a conduit during introduction and or exchange of the Dilator and ancillary devices (e.g. catheters) that have a maximum diameter of .204". The atraumatic distal tip of the Steerable Guide Catheter is radiopaque to allow visualization under The Dilator consists of a radiopaque fluoroscopy. {1}------------------------------------------------ K041596 pg 2 of 2 shaft, an echogenic feature at the distal tip, a hemostasis valve with a flush port and an internal lumen designed to accept ancillary devices that have a maximum diameter of 0.035" (e.g. needles or The Steerable Guide Catheter and quidewires). Dilator are packaged in two sealed Tyvek pouches, and boxed in a shelf-cardboard carton. ## Comparision to Predicate: The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to intended use, indications for use, labeling, patient contacting materials, technological and performance characteristics, ergonomics of patient-user interface, overall dimensions, packaging, and sterilization. Substantial Equivalence: Conclusions: guide-to-dilator transition test, Echogenicity, and Radiopacity, demonstrated that the subject device met performance specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate Steerable Guide Catheter and Dilator. In vitro tests, including overall dimensions, bend test, The Evalve Steerable Guide Catheter and Dilator has the same indications for use and technological characteristics and performs as well or better than the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
