Intended Use
The GT Leggiero Catheter is intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels up to and including the cervical vessels, all vessels in the lower and upper extremities and all coronary vessels. The GT Leggiero Catheter is also intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and the infusion of embolic materials for hemostasis. The Catheter should not be used in cerebral vessels.
Device Story
GT Leggiero is a 2.9Fr multilayer single-lumen angiographic catheter (100-150cm length); reinforced with helically-cut stainless steel piping; distal 15cm designed for high flexibility. Device features hydrophilic coating and radiopaque tip marker; supplied with Y-connector and shaping mandrel. Operated manually by clinicians for contrast media delivery, drug infusion, or embolic material delivery in peripheral/coronary vasculature. Maximum injection pressure 450 psi; compatible with 0.018" guide wires. Device facilitates visualization and therapeutic delivery; aids in hemostasis and intra-arterial therapy. Benefits include high-pressure capability and trackability in complex vascular anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified through flexibility, tensile strength, maximum pressure, and flow rate tests. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO-10993 standards for external communicating devices with limited blood contact (≤24 hours). Sterilization validated to SAL 10^-6 per AAMI guidelines.
Technological Characteristics
Multilayer single-lumen catheter; 2.9Fr (0.96mm) OD; 0.6mm ID; stainless steel reinforced shaft; hydrophilic polymer coating; radiopaque tip marker. Manual operation. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. Biocompatible materials per ISO-10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infusion of contrast media, drugs, or embolic materials into peripheral, cervical, coronary, and extremity vessels. Contraindicated for use in cerebral vessels.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

SECTION II Summary and Certification
# SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION PERTAINING TO SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
## Proprietary Device Name: GT LEGGIERO
Classification Name: Catheter, Angiographic
#### INTENDED USE
The GT Leggiero Catheter is intended for the infusion of contrast media into all peripheral vessels up to and including the cervical vessels, all vessels in the lower and upper extremities and all coronary vessels. The GT Leggiero Catheter is also intended for drug infusion in intraarterial therapy and the infusion of embolic materials for hemostasis. The Catheter should not be used in cerebral vessels.
Note: This is the same intended use as the Terumo Angiographic Catheter) cleared under 510(k) K915414.
#### DESCRIPTION
The GT Leggiero™ Catheter is a multilayer single-lumen catheter 100-150cm in length with a maximum injection pressure of 450 psi. The catheter shaft is reinforced the entire length by helically-cut stainless steel piping. The distal 15cm is fine-worked for high flexibility. The catheter is 2.9Fr. size (~0.96mm in outer diameter) and can be used with a guiding catheter 0.047" (1.20mm) or larger inner diameter. The catheter shaft has an inner diameter of ~0.6mm to admit a 0.018" or smaller sized guide wire. The catheter has a hydrophilic polymer coating on the outer surface with the exception of 30cm from its proximal end. A radiopaque marker (~0.8mm) is incorporated in the catheter tip for increased radiopacity.
#### Note:
The catheter will be supplied with a Y-Connector and Stainless Steel shaping Mandrel.

#### PERFORMANCE
The performance of the GT Leggiero is substantially equivalent to the performance of the cleared Terumo Angiographic Catheter (SP Catheter) K915414.
The following tests were performed demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the GT Leggiero submitted in this 510(k) to the cleared Terumo Angiographic Catheter) K915414.
- · Flexibility Test
- · Tensile Strength
- · Maximum Pressure Test
- · Flow Rate Test
### ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Sterilization conditions have been validated according to the AAMI guidelines to provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10 to the negative sixth.
Ethylene oxide residuals will not exceed the maximum residue limits proposed for Part 821 of Title 21 in the Federal register of June 23, 1978 (or as finalized or amended).
Manufacturing control test methods include: functional, extraction and sterility tests.
Blood contacting materials were tested in accordance with the tests recommended in the FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1 (5/1/95): Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing." [External Communicating Devices, Circulating Blood, Limited Exposure (≤24 hours) contact duration). The blood contacting materials were found to be biocompatible.
The expiration dating for the GT Leggiero will be 24 months.
