Intended Use
The Agilis™ ES Steerable Introducer is indicated when introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum. The Introducer may be used for recording intracardiac signals and for cardiac stimulation during electrophysiology studies.
Device Story
Agilis ES Steerable Introducer is a catheter delivery system for cardiac anatomy. Components include 8.5F steerable sheath, 8.5F dilator, and 0.032" guidewire. Sheath features three platinum/iridium electrodes for visualization on EnSite System, intracardiac signal recording, and cardiac stimulation. Handle includes rotating collar for bi-directional tip deflection (>180° clockwise, >90° counterclockwise). Sideport with three-way stopcock allows aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling, and pressure monitoring. Distal vent holes minimize cavitation; radiopaque tip marker aids fluoroscopic visualization. Used in clinical electrophysiology settings by physicians to position catheters; provides stable access to cardiac chambers. Benefits include flexible positioning and integrated diagnostic/stimulation capabilities.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing performed. Safety and performance supported by bench testing (sterilization, shelf life, biocompatibility, electrical isolation, impedance, leakage current, deflection durability, bond tensile testing) and a GLP animal study evaluating safety and ability to meet intended use.
Technological Characteristics
8.5F steerable sheath with polymer shaft; three 1mm platinum/iridium electrodes. Bi-directional deflection mechanism (rotary-type). Includes hemostasis valve and sideport. Sterilized via EtO (SAL 10-6). Compatible with EnSite System for visualization.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring introduction of cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left side via the interatrial septum, and for recording intracardiac signals or cardiac stimulation during electrophysiology studies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### Device Description:
The St. Jude Medical Agilis ES Steerable Introducer consists of a 94cm, 8.5F dilator, a 180cm, 0.032" guidewire; and a 71cm (usable length), 8.5F steerable sheath. It is designed to provide flexible catheter positioning in the cardiac anatomy. The steerable introducer constructed of a polymer shaft that incorporates three platinum/iridium electrodes, the primary use of which is visualization on the EnSite™ System. The electrodes may also be used for recording intracardiac signals and for cardiac stimulation during electrophysiology studies. The steerable introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A sideport with a three-way stopcock is provided for aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling, and pressure monitoring. The handle is equipped with a rotating collar to deflect the tip clockwise > 180° and counterclockwise > 90°. The steerable introducer features distal vent holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize cavitation and a radiopaque tip marker to improve fluoroscopic visualization.
