GmbH · DYB · Feb 25, 2011 · Cardiovascular · SESE_ **Canonical URL:** https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DYB/K100799 ## Device Facts - **Applicant:** Contract Medical Intl. GmbH - **Product Code:** [DYB](/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DYB.md) - **Decision Date:** Feb 25, 2011 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 870.1340 - **Device Class:** Class 2 - **Review Panel:** Cardiovascular ## Indications for Use The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to provide access and to facilitate percutaneous introduction of guide wires, catheters and other devices into the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries while while maintaining hemostasis during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The device is designed to facilitate easier access to the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries by means of the crossover approach, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access by conventional means, as exemplified in patients with damaged, occluded or blocked vessels. The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to be used by physicians trained in performing arterial catheterizations, primarily in hospital environment. ## Device Story Fortress Introducer Sheath System facilitates percutaneous vascular access; consists of introducer sheath with hemostasis valve, side port with 3-way stopcock, and dilator with tapered tip. Used by physicians in hospital settings for diagnostic/interventional procedures; enables crossover approach for difficult-to-access femoral, popliteal, or infrapopliteal arteries. Hemostasis valve seals around guide wires/catheters to minimize blood loss; radiopaque marker identifies distal tip position. System provides conduit for guide wires and catheters; aids navigation through occluded or damaged vessels; improves procedural success in complex arterial anatomy. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and technological comparison to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics System includes introducer sheath with hemostasis valve, side port, and dilator. Features radiopaque marker for visualization. Materials and design are equivalent to predicate devices. Non-powered, mechanical device. ## Regulatory Identification A catheter introducer is a sheath used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery. ## Predicate Devices - Prelude and Prelude Pro Sheath Introducers ([K073035](/device/K073035.md)) - Pinnacle Destination Peripheral Guiding Sheaths ([K091329](/device/K091329.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The main introducer sheath tubing is connected at the proximal end to a hemostasis valve with side port tubing that is connected to a plastic 3-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath is introduced into the vascular system with the aid of the dilator. The hemostasis valve at the proximal end of the introducer sheath conforms and seals around guide wires and catheters to reduce blood leakage from the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker helps identify the distal end of the introducer sheath. The Fortress Introducer Sheath System consists of the following components:
- One: introducer sheath
- Two: dilators | | | | | | | | | | {1}------------------------------------------------ Intended use of the device: The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to provide access and to facilitate percutaneous introduction of guide wires, catheters and other devices into the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries while while maintaining hemostasis during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The device is designed to facilitate easier access to the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries by means of the crossover approach, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access by conventional means, as exemplified in patients with damaged, occluded or blocked vessels. The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to be used by physicians trained in performing arterial catheterizations, primarily in hospital environment. Technological The proposed device has the same technological characteristics characteristics: as the predicate devices. Conclusions: The results of the comparison of design, materials, intended use and technological characteristics demonstrate that the device is as substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
