## 3.0 PREDICATE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology has the following predicate device:
- K162322 POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell . Catheter, 3 Fr Model
{4}------------------------------------------------
## 4.0 REFERENCE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology has the following reference device:
- K131300 POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell ● Catheter, 4 Fr and 5 Fr Model
## 5.0 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology is an all-in-one preassembled device that combines the functionality of a catheter introducer system with an extended dwell (< 30 days) Intravenous (IV) Catheter. It is intended to provide the clinician with a safe, simple and accelerated approach using the Accelerated Seldinger Technique. The POWERWAND™ is used to gain access to the vascular system to insert the IV Catheter. The IV Catheter may then be left in place for a period of < 30 days and used to sample blood and administer fluids intravenously. It may also be used to power inject contrast media up to a rate of 8 ml/sec and at a maximum of 325 psi fluid pressure. The device incorporates a mechanism that provides passive needle stick safety.
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology has shown in vivo to be thromboresistant with respect to both thrombus on the surface of the catheter and thrombus on the wall of the vein, based upon 72-hour canine jugular vein thromboresistance studies. This pre-clinical in vivo evaluation does not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation.
### 6.0 INDICATIONS FOR USE
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology is used to gain access to the vascular system to sample blood and administer fluids intravenously. It may be used for power injection of contrast media up to a rate of 8 ml/sec and at a maximum of 325 psi fluid pressure.
## 7.0 TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS
The POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device in terms of components, materials, chemical composition, and design. However, the subject device includes a new thrombogenicity labeling claim.
## 8.0 SUMMARY OF TESTING
{5}------------------------------------------------
A series of pre-clinical thrombogenicity tests were conducted to support a thrombogenicity labeling claim.
Design verification performance testing was leveraged from the predicate device and the reference device manufactured by Access Scientific. The performance criteria of the device were not affected as a result of the addition of the labeling claim.
## 9.0 CONCLUSIONS
The test results demonstrate that the POWERWAND™ Safety Introducer with an Extended Dwell Catheter made of ChronoFlex C® with BioGUARD™ Technology – 3 Fr, 4 Fr, and 5 Fr Model is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, function, and indications for use.
