The INNERCHANGE micro-introducer catheter is intended for use in accessing the vascular system through a small gauge needle stick and for delivering radiopaque media to selected sites in the vascular system in conjunction with routine diagnostic procedures.
Device Story
The InnerChange Micro-Introducer Catheter is a diagnostic intravascular device used to obtain vascular access and deliver radiopaque contrast media. The system includes a 21G percutaneous entry needle, a 0.018" guidewire, a dilator, and a hydrophilically coated diagnostic catheter with an attached stopcock. It is designed for use by clinicians in a clinical setting. The device is compatible with guidewires up to 0.038"/965mm. By facilitating access through a small gauge needle, the device allows for diagnostic imaging procedures, aiding clinicians in visualizing the vascular system to inform clinical decision-making and patient management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only. Testing included radiopacity, visual inspection of coating, catheter/dilator assembly, guidewire passage, tortuosity, flow rate, dynamic pressure, kink radius, liquid leak, and shaft strength.
Technological Characteristics
Diagnostic intravascular catheter with hydrophilic coating. Components include 21G percutaneous entry needle, 0.018" guidewire, dilator, and catheter with stopcock. Compatible with ≤0.038" guidewires. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring vascular access via small gauge needle stick for the delivery of radiopaque media during routine diagnostic procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.
