The AuST Steerable Sheath is intended for the introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into the human vasculature, including but not limited to intracardiac, renal and other peripheral placements. Do not use this device for neural placements.
Device Story
Single-use percutaneous catheter; provides pathway for diagnostic/therapeutic devices into human vasculature. Features braid-reinforced shaft, bidirectional deflectable segment, radiopaque distal tip, handle with 3-way stopcock (flushing/aspiration), and hemostasis valve. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Physician manipulates handle to deflect sheath, navigating vasculature to target site; hemostasis valve prevents fluid/air leakage. Facilitates precise placement of interventional tools; benefits patient by enabling minimally invasive access to intracardiac/peripheral sites.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), sterilization (ISO 11135), packaging (ISO 11607-1), and mechanical testing including simulated use, deflection verification, valve leak, tensile strength, dimensional verification, dilator removal force, flush, and torque tests.
Indicated for introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into human vasculature, including intracardiac, renal, and peripheral placements. Contraindicated for neural placements.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Johnson Conner:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
