- **Regulation:** 21 CFR 870.1310
- **Device Class:** Class 2
- **Review Panel:** Cardiovascular

## Indications for Use

The Avanti + Catheter Sheath Introducer is indicated for use in arterial and venous procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of catheters and other intravascular devices. As with other currently marketed Cordis CSIs mentioned in this submission, these devices provide vascular access for various intravascular devices through the valve while simultaneously maintaining hemostasis. Infusion of fluids into the vasculature and withdrawal of blood from the vasculature are possible using the sheath sideport.

## Device Story

Catheter sheath introducer system; provides vascular access for intravascular devices; maintains hemostasis via integrated valve; includes sideport for fluid infusion and blood withdrawal. Used in clinical settings by physicians for percutaneous procedures. Facilitates device insertion while minimizing blood loss.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data.

## Technological Characteristics

Catheter sheath introducer system; includes valve for hemostasis and sideport for fluid/blood access. Materials previously validated for biocompatibility in predicate devices.

## Regulatory Identification

A vessel dilator for percutaneous catheterization is a device which is placed over the guide wire to enlarge the opening in the vessel, and which is then removed before sliding the catheter over the guide wire.
