Device includes a convenience kit containing a silk suture. Primary modification involves changing the sterilization process for the suture component from gamma to ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization for the entire kit. Used by clinicians in clinical settings to provide a conduit for catheter placement. Benefits include standardized kit components and maintained sterility assurance for the suture component. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only; functional and biocompatibility testing demonstrated compliance with USP 25 standards for nonabsorbable surgical sutures. ## Technological Characteristics Percutaneous sheath introducer with Oligon™ material. Includes silk suture component. Sterilization method: Ethylene oxide. Compliance with USP 25 for nonabsorbable surgical sutures. ## Regulatory Identification A catheter introducer is a sheath used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery. ## Predicate Devices - Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material - Surgical Specialities' Sharpoint DC-0218 Suture ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Surgical Specialities' Sharpoint DC-0218 Suture | | Device Description: | The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers
with Oligon™ material are used to access the venous
system and to facilitate catheter insertion.

Edwards Lifesciences wishes to package the Edwards
Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with
Oligon™ material in a convenience kit. One of the
components of the kit is a silk suture. The suture
manufacturer provides the suture either gamma sterilized or
non-sterile. Edwards wishes to receive the suture non-
sterile, with ethylene oxide sterilization as the final
sterilization process for the kit, including the suture. The
reason for this submission is the change in sterilization
process for the suture component of the kit. | | Indications for Use: | The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers
with Oligon™ material are indicated for use in patients
requiring access of the venous system and to facilitate
catheter insertion (e.g. pulmonary artery or infusion
catheter). | | Comparative Analysis: | The introducer is identical to the predicate Edwards
Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducer with
Oligon™ material. The ethylene oxide-sterilized sutures | {1}------------------------------------------------ have been demonstrated to be in compliance with USP 25, Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures. - The ethylene-oxide sterilized sutures have successfully Functional/Safety undergone functional and biocompatibility testing. They Testing: have been shown to be in compliance with USP 25, Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures. Conclusion: The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The ethylene-oxide sterilized sutures used in the The Edwards Lifesciences Percutaneous Sheath Introducers with Oligon™ material are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
