The Percu-Pro™ Steerable Introducer is intended to be used for the introduction of various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left side of the heart through the inter-atrial septum.
Device Story
The Percu-Pro™ Steerable Introducer is a sterile, single-use device consisting of a steerable introducer sheath, dilator (14Fr only), and stylet. It facilitates flexible catheter positioning within cardiac anatomy. The device features proximal and distal tip steering, a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss, and a sideport with a stopcock for aspiration, infusion, sampling, and pressure monitoring. The sheath is constructed of reinforced Pebax with a radiopaque distal marker for fluoroscopic visualization. Used in clinical settings by physicians, the device allows for the introduction of cardiovascular catheters into the heart. The steerable mechanism enables precise navigation, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes during cardiac catheterization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Verification testing included visual inspection, dimensional verification, corrosion resistance, tensile break force, tip separation force, leakage testing, luer hub compliance, flexural fatigue, in vitro simulated use, functional performance, radiopacity, and shelf life testing.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Reinforced Pebax sheath. Energy: None (mechanical). Dimensions: 9Fr and 14Fr diameters, 65 cm working length. Features: Proximal/distal tip steering, hemostasis valve, sideport with stopcock, radiopaque distal marker. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use. Standards: ISO 10555 (Sterile, single-use intravascular catheters).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the introduction of various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left side of the heart through the inter-atrial septum.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter introducer is a sheath used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery.

Dear Ms. Lucey:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unlinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
