Fast-Cath Transseptal Catheter Introducer
K964518 | #### Device Description Both the Fast-Cath hemostasis and transseptal introducers are used for introducing various catheters into the heart. The inner diameter measures 10F. The distal tips of the introducers are available in a variety of curve configurations to meet physician preferences for accessing different parts of the cardiac anatomy. Each introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and exchange over a guidewire. A sideport with a three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling, and pressure monitoring. The sheaths contain radiopaque materials for visualization under fluoroscopy. A plastic dilator and stainless steel guidewire are packaged with the introducers and are designed to facilitate the introduction and passage of the introducer through the vasculature. #### Indications for Use The Fast-Cath hemostasis introducer is indicated for the introduction of various cardiovascular catheters or biopsy devices into the heart. The Fast-Cath Transseptal Introducer is indicated for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## [510(k) Summary continued] ## Comparison to Predicate Device The catheters have similar design, materials, and technical requirements as the predicate devices. ### Summary of Testing Testing has demonstrated that the new devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. ### Conclusion The proposed modification is equivalent to the predicate with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and performance specifications. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the address of the Food and Drug Administration.
