Device Story

Device is an introducer sheath kit containing a sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer, a vessel dilator, and a J-tipped guidewire. Used in clinical settings by physicians to facilitate vascular access for diagnostic/interventional devices. Sheath connects to the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM) to provide continuous, high-resolution, instantaneous pulse wave hemodynamic data. Dilator and guidewire assist in initial placement; removed once positioned. Output displayed on BPM for real-time hemodynamic monitoring; assists clinicians in clinical decision-making during procedures. Benefits include integrated access and monitoring in a single device.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included dimensional analysis, guide wire/device compatibility, flexibility/kink resistance, liquid leak testing (under pressure and through hemostasis valve), separation force testing, and biocompatibility testing (acute systemic injection, intracutaneous injection, Kligman sensitization, L929 MEM elution, rabbit pyrogenicity, and ASTM hemolysis).

#### III. PREDICATE DEVICE

Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit (K160272) This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall

No reference devices were used in this submission.

#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is comprised of the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire. The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath and accessories are provided sterile (EO).

The Pressure Sensing Sheath ("PSS") is an introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. The PSS is provided with a dilator and a guidewire, which together make up the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit ("PSS Kit"). The PSS Kit is intended to be used only with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor ("BPM"), which connects to the PSS and displays the blood pressure measurements. Together with the BPM, the PSS is used to continuously monitor patient blood pressure during procedures requiring vascular access.

The PSS introducer sheath is used to assist vascular access in the same manner as do standard catheter introducers. The PSS introducer sheath has an integrated pressure sensor that provides high resolution, continuous and

{4}------------------------------------------------

instantaneous pulse wave hemodynamics to monitor blood pressure. Together, the Pressure Sensing Sheath and the Blood Pressure Monitor comprise the Endophys Pressure Sensing Access System (PSASTM).

The vessel dilator is used to facilitate insertion of the PSS, and is packaged with the Endophys PSS Kit. Once the PSS has been properly positioned in the vessel, the dilator is removed.

The guidewire is J tipped, 50cm (length), 0.89mm (diameter), and is used to assist in the placement of the dilator/PSS Introducer Sheath through the skin and into the vasculature. Once the dilator and introducer are positioned over the guidewire, the guidewire is removed through the dilator.

#### V. INDICATION FOR USE

The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit (Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath, vessel dilator and guidewire) is intended to facilitate the introduction of diagnostic and interventional devices into the vasculature and to continuously measure blood pressure during the procedure when used with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor.

Together, the Pressure Sensing Sheath and the Blood Pressure Monitor comprise the Endophys Pressure Sensing Access System (PSAS").

### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS VI. WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

Introducer catheters, by nature, are tubular structures intended to provide a pathway for therapeutic and/or diagnostic devices into the human vasculature. Specialized introducer catheters have been developed which incorporate sensors into these devices to allow active monitoring of blood pressure during interventional procedures. Blood pressure monitoring using a fiber optic transducer is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. The technology requires use of a compatible blood pressure monitor to provide this data to the clinician.

At a high level, the subject and predicate device are based on the following same technological elements:

| • Product Code | • UV Adhesive |
|------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| • Device Classification Name | • Pressure Sensor Type |
| • 21 CFR Regulation Number | • Sensor Location |
| • Indications for Use | • Pressure Range |

| • Sheath Size | • Outer Jacket Material |
| • Inside/Outside Diameter | • Dilator Size |
| • Overall Length | • Shelf Life |
| • Effective Length | • Packaged Sterile |
| • Sterilization Method | |

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate device:

| • Hemostasis Valve Adapter<br>• UV Adhesive (proposed device only)<br>• Dilator Hub Ink (proposed device only) | • Dilator Working Length<br>• Dilator Tube/Extrusions<br>• Dilator Hub Resin<br>• Dilator Hub Colorant |

- ASTM Hemolysis Complete - Direct / Indirect

The modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath met all specified criteria and based on the design verification performance, the conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE VIII.

The indications for use for the predicate device is substantially equivalent to the indications for use for the proposed PSS Kit. Furthermore, the PSS Kit has the same intended use, patient population, and anatomical sites as well as similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics have been analyzed and addressed through testing. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### IX. CONCLUSION

The PSS Kit contains a catheter introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer, a dilator, and a guidewire for standard interventional procedures. The PSS Kit has the same intended use, patient population, and anatomical sites as well as similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics have been analyzed and addressed through testing. As such, the PSS Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### X. SUMMARY

The PSS Kit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
