Email: brandon.epting@arrowintl.com | | Date summary prepared: | May 20, 2002 | | Device trade name: | Sheath Adapter | | Device common name: | Sheath Adapter | | Device classification name: | Catheter Introducer | | Legally marketed devices to which
the device is substantially equivalent: | Arrow Percutaneous Sheath Introducer (K780532)
Thomas Medical Products Tuohy-Borst Adapter (K904608) | | Description of the device: | The proposed device is an accessory to Arrow's existing
Percutaneous Sheath Introducer (PSI) (K780532). The
adapter is attached to the hemostasis valve of the sheath
introducer allowing a broader range of device sizes to be
placed through the introducer. | | Intended use of the device: | When attached to the hub of the PSI, a hemostasis valve in
the sheath adapter device permits the insertion of a 4 Fr to
7 Fr catheter through the PSI and prevents leaking and
bleedback. The Tuohy-Borst mechanism in the sheath
adapter can be tightened to prevent catheter migration and
to prevent leakage and bleedback. | | Technological characteristics: | The proposed sheath adapter has the same technological
characteristics as the predicate devices. | | Performance tests: | Tests were performed to demonstrate substantial
equivalence in the following areas:
• Leak resistance
• Insertion / drag force
• Cap torsion | | Conclusions: | The results of the laboratory tests demonstrate that the
device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed
predicate devices. | {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.
