The Reverse Medical RePort™ Guide Catheter System is indicated for the introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the peripheral, coronary and neuro vasculature.
Device Story
RePort™ Guide Catheter System is a two-component device consisting of a RePort™ Sheath and a RePort™ Dilator. The sheath features a distal region that expands when the dilator is advanced. Used in clinical settings by physicians to facilitate the introduction of interventional or diagnostic devices into peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature. The system accommodates hydrophilic guidewires up to 0.038 inches. Proximal luer fittings allow for accessory attachment and liquid infusion. The device is provided sterile for single use. It provides support and access to desired anatomy, aiding in clinical decision-making by enabling the delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic tools. Benefits include improved access to complex vascular anatomy through the expandable distal design.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included dimensional/visual inspection, guidewire compatibility, torque response/strength, deployment cycle, kink resistance, flexibility, tensile strength, leak testing, pressure/burst testing, aspiration, and corrosion resistance. In vivo testing evaluated system deliverability, compatibility, visibility, aspiration performance, and acute histopathology of treated vessels. All tests met established criteria. No human clinical trial data was required for this 510(k) submission.
Technological Characteristics
Two-catheter system (sheath and dilator). Materials: PTFE-lined nylon/polyurethane with stainless steel and nitinol braid support. Radiopacity provided by platinum/tungsten bands and gold markers. Connectivity: Luer hub for accessory attachment. Sterilization: EtO (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135). Dimensions: Accommodates guidewires up to 0.038 inches.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the introduction of interventional or diagnostic devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature in patients requiring such procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
