#### Device Description:
The C304-HIS device is a radio opaque, braid-reinforced catheter with a deflectable distal tip. The catheter shaft is constructed from Polyether Block Amid (PEBA), with a medical stainless-steel braid and an inner Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) liner. The shaft construction is manufactured by an external vendor Teleflex. The shape of the distal catheter deflectable segment is controlled by a pull wire connected to the handle which can be adjusted to accommodate individual anatomies and to allow access to the target sites. The pull wire is anchored to a distal gold marker band.
The device features a guide wire to access the vein, a valve to reduce blood loss during the implant procedure, a deflectable catheter to introduce a transvenous device, a catheter dilator to facilitate deflectable catheter passage, and a guide catheter slitter to remove the deflectable catheter. The deflectable catheter is designed for placement of transvenous devices in or near the bundle of His. It features a deflecting distal section, controlled by the deflectable catheter handle, and an out-of-plane curve on the distal tip. The body of the deflectable catheter is radiopaque for visibility on fluoroscopy.
#### Indications For Use:
The deflectable catheter system is indicated to provide a pathway though which diagnostic and therapeutic transvenous devices are introduced within the chambers and coronary vasculature of the heart, and for introducing balloon catheters into the coronary sinus or leads into vessels of the left heart via the coronary sinus.
