## Indications for Use

The Avanti™ Trans-Radial Catheter Sheath Introducer kit is intended for use in (radial) arterial procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of catheters and other intravascular devices. As with other currently marketed Cordis CSIs mentioned in this submission, these devices provide vascular access for various intravascular devices through the valve while simultaneously maintaining hemostasis. Infusion of fluids into the vasculature and withdrawal of blood from the vasculature are possible using the sheath sideport.

## Device Story

Kit provides vascular access for intravascular devices via radial artery; maintains hemostasis during procedure; allows fluid infusion and blood withdrawal via sideport. Used by physicians in clinical settings for percutaneous catheterization. Benefits include simplified radial access through inclusion of vessel dilator and needle.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; biocompatibility testing performed on new materials.

## Technological Characteristics

Catheter sheath introducer kit; includes sheath, dilator, and needle. Materials tested for biocompatibility. Class II device per 21 CFR 870.1340.

## Regulatory Identification

A catheter introducer is a sheath used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery.

# V. Intended Use and Device Description

The Avanti™ Trans-Radial Catheter Sheath Introducer kit is intended for use in (radial) arterial procedures requiring percutaneous introduction of catheters and other intravascular devices. As with other currently marketed Cordis CSIs mentioned in this submission, these devices provide vascular access for various intravascular devices through the valve while simultaneously maintaining hemostasis. Infusion of fluids into the vasculature and withdrawal of blood from the vasculature are possible using the sheath sideport.

# VI. Biocompatibility

All appropriate biocompatibility tests were performed on the new material used for the Trans-Radial CSI Kit. All other materials were tested on previously concurred devices and passed.

# VII. Summary of Substantial Equivalence

Except for the site of entry (radial instead of femoral) and the addition of the radial vessel dilator and needle (thus making it a complete kit), the Cordis Avanti™ Trans-Radial Catheter Sheath Introducer Kit has the same intended use as other sheath introducers already on the market (i.e., Cordis Avanti™ CSI and Cordis Plus CSI). In addition, the Avanti™ Trans-Radial CSI Kit is similar in its basic design, construction, and indication for use to currently marketed catheter sheath introducer systems.
