Intended Use
The Twin-Pass catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature, to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices, for use during two guidewire procedures and to subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostic or therapeutic agents. The SKYWAY support catheters are intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discreet regions of the arterial and or coronary vasculature. It may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices. The Skyway OTW also may be used to subselectively infuse/deliver therapeutic agents.
Device Story
Twin-Pass and Skyway catheters are intravascular support devices used in coronary and peripheral arterial procedures. Twin-Pass features dual lumens for simultaneous guidewire management; Skyway is a single-lumen support catheter. Both are hydrophilically coated and support 0.014"/0.36mm guidewires. Twin-Pass includes a stiffening mandrel for insertion support. Operated by physicians in clinical/interventional settings to facilitate device exchange and agent delivery. No electronic or software components; purely mechanical operation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including flow-rate testing with saline and 76% contrast medium.
Technological Characteristics
Hydrophilically coated intravascular catheters. Twin-Pass: dual lumen, includes stiffening mandrel. Skyway: single lumen. Both support 0.014"/0.36mm guidewires. Non-electronic, mechanical devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring access to coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature for guidewire placement, exchange of interventional devices, two-guidewire procedures, or subselective infusion of diagnostic/therapeutic agents.
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.

#### Performance Standards:
No performance standards have been developed under section 514 for this device.
#### Device Description:
The Twin-Pass™ Dual Access Catheter is a hydrophilically coated, dual lumen catheter designed for use in the arterial vasculature. The catheter provides support for 0.014"/0.36mm guidewires, and the dual lumen design allows for the delivery of a second guidewire into distal vasculature while leaving the initial guidewire in place. The Twin-Pass catheter comes with a stiffening mandrel to provide support and pushability during catheter insertion.
The SKYWAY catheters are single lumen, hydrophilically coated catheters designed for use in the arterial vasculature. The catheters provide support for 0.014"/0.36mm guidewires during interventional procedures, and allow for the exchange of one distally located guidewire for another one while maintaining access to distal vasculature.
#### Intended Use:
The Twin-Pass catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature, to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices, for use during two guidewire procedures and to subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostic or therapeutic agents.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The SKYWAY support catheters are intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires in order to access discreet regions of the arterial and or coronary vasculature. It may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices. The Skyway OTW also may be used to subselectively infuse/deliver therapeutic agents.
### Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:
Flow-rate testing was conducted using saline and a 76% contrast medium.
#### Summary of Clinical Testing:
No clinical evaluations of this product were conducted.
#### Predicate Devices:
The Twin-Pass™ Dual Access Catheter and Skyway™ Support Catheter are substantially equivalent to the Pivot™ Steerable Microcatheter, Twin-Pass™ Dual Access Catheter, Skyway™ Support Catheter, and Langston™ Dual Lumen Pressure Monitoring Catheter.
#### Conclusions:
The Twin-Pass™ Dual Access Catheter and Skyway Support Catheter are substantially equivalent to the Pivot™ Steerable Microcatheter, Twin-Pass™ Dual Access Catheter, Skyway™ Support Catheter, and Langston™ Dual Lumen Pressure Monitoring Catheter, based on comparisons between the indications for use, construction materials, and device dimensions.
