Used for the delivery of PTCA balloons and other various types of interventional cardiology devices. They are intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in PTCA and interventional cardiology techniques. Not intended for cerebral vascular use.
Device Story
Envy Guiding Catheter is an intravascular diagnostic catheter used in interventional cardiology. It facilitates delivery of PTCA balloons and other interventional devices to target sites. The device consists of an inner layer of nylon tubing with stainless steel braiding, laminated with an outer TFE layer, and finished with a hydrophilic coating for lubricity. It is available in 4.0, 7.0, and 8.0 French sizes. An optional inner polyethylene catheter, tapered to an .038-inch endhole, assists in introducing the guiding catheter over a wire guide or through a sheath. The device is operated by trained physicians in a clinical setting. It provides a pathway for interventional tools, aiding in the performance of cardiology procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on identical design, materials, and indications to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: inner nylon tubing, stainless steel braiding, outer TFE tubing, hydrophilic coating. Sizes: 4.0, 7.0, 8.0 French. Construction: multi-layer laminate. No energy source or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by physicians trained in PTCA and interventional cardiology for the delivery of PTCA balloons and other interventional cardiology devices. Contraindicated for cerebral vascular use.

## Predicate Devices:
The Envy™ Guiding Catheter, 4.0, 7.0 and 8.0 French, has the same intended use, materials of construction, and technological characteristics as the Envy™ Guiding Catheter, 6.0 French.
## Device Description:
The Envy™ Guiding Catheter is manufactured using an inner layer of nylon tubing with stainless steel braiding and laminated with an outer layer of TFE tubing. This tubing is coated with a hydrophilic coating to enhance lubricity. This catheter is available in 4.0, 7.0 and 8.0 French outer diameter, various lengths and various curves to accommodate interventional cardiology procedures.
