It is designed to facilitate vascular access for diagnostic and interventional procedures. The device connects to the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor to provide continuous, real-time blood pressure measurements during the procedure. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals, the system allows for simultaneous vascular access and hemodynamic monitoring. The integrated fiber optic sensor transforms pressure signals into electrical data for display on the monitor, assisting clinicians in making real-time hemodynamic decisions. This integration potentially benefits patients by providing continuous monitoring without the need for additional arterial access sites. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of non-clinical bench testing, including design verification, sterilization validation, biocompatibility testing, shelf life/packaging testing, and in vivo testing. ## Technological Characteristics Introducer sheath with integrated fiber optic pressure transducer, dilator, and guidewire. Connects to external Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor. Fiber optic sensing principle. Sterilized 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 - Togo Medikit Co., Ltd.

Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device {1}------------------------------------------------ related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

Super Sheath Introducer Sheath (K052557) ● - Endologix AFX Introducer System (K120212) ● - Millar Instruments, Inc. Mikro-Cath (K093111) - Acist Medical Systems Rapid Exchange (RXi) System and Navvus Catheter ● (K132474) {4}------------------------------------------------ # 510(k) SUMMARY # INDICATION FOR USE The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit (Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire) is intended to facilitate the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the vasculature and to continuously measure blood pressure during the procedure when used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor. # PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Pressure Sensing Sheath ("PSS") is an introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. The PSS is provided with a dilator and a guidewire, which together make up the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit ("PSS Kit"). The PSS Kit is intended to be used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor ("BPM"), which connects to the PSS and displays the blood pressure measurements. Together with the BPM, the PSS is used to continuously monitor patient blood pressure during procedures requiring vascular access. # SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The indications for use for the predicate devices are substantially equivalent to the indications for use for the PSS Kit. Furthermore, the PSS Kit has the same intended use, patient population, and anatomical sites as well as similar technological characteristics as do the predicate devices. The differences in technological characteristics have been analyzed and addressed through testing. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. # TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION All necessary testing was conducted on the PSS Kit to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Testing of the PSS Kit included the following: - Design verification testing ● - Sterilization validation - Biocompatibility testing ● - Shelf life and packaging testing ● - . In vivo testing The collective results of the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the PSS Kit meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the testing demonstrates that the PSS Kit does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices. {5}------------------------------------------------ # 510(k) SUMMARY # CONCLUSION The PSS Kit contains a catheter introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer, a dilator, and a guidewire for standard interventional procedures. The PSS Kit has the same intended use, patient population, and anatomical sites as well as similar technological characteristics as do the predicate devices. The differences in technological characteristics have been analyzed and addressed through testing. As such, the PSS Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. # SUMMARY The PSS Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DYB/K141275](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DYB/K141275) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
