Intended Use
The intended use of the Modified Device is to provide stability and directional control during transcatheter ablation of endocardial tissue. PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath - The intended use of the percutaneous Braided Guiding Sheath is for the introduction of intravascular electrophysiology catheters into any cardiac chamber. PERRY Exchange Dilator - The intended use of the PERRY Exchange Dilator is for the transseptal exchange of Cordis Webster PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheaths which are used for the introduction of intravascular electrophysiology catheters. The exchange dilator permits exchange of the guiding sheaths while maintaining transseptal left heart access and control of sheath location.
Device Story
System comprises PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath and PERRY Exchange Dilator; used during transcatheter ablation of endocardial tissue. Guiding sheath provides stability/directional control for electrophysiology catheters in cardiac chambers. Exchange dilator facilitates sheath replacement while maintaining transseptal access/sheath position. Device inputs include manual manipulation by physician; outputs are physical access/stability for catheters. Radiopaque tungsten tips added to dilators for improved fluoroscopic visibility. Used in clinical/lab settings by physicians. Benefits include maintained access during sheath exchange, reducing procedural time/risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing compared stiffness and insertion force of the PERRY Exchange Dilator (with radiopaque tip) against the standard 8F AVANTI Sheath (K970392). No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
System includes braided guiding sheath, vessel dilator, and exchange dilator. Materials identical to predicate with addition of tungsten for radiopaque tips. Features include posterior, anterior, or multipurpose distal tip shapes. Connectivity: None (mechanical device). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring introduction of intravascular electrophysiology catheters into any cardiac chamber for transcatheter ablation of endocardial tissue. The PERRY Exchange Dilator is indicated for transseptal exchange of guiding sheaths while maintaining transseptal left heart access.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter introducer is a sheath used to facilitate placing a catheter through the skin into a vein or artery.

Special 510(k): Device Modificatio Cordis Webster Braided Guiding Sheath Exchange System
## Appendix A: 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
| Statement | Information supporting claims of substantial equivalence, as defined under the<br>Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, respecting safety and effectiveness is<br>summarized below. |
|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | For the convenience of the Reviewer, this summary is formatted in<br>accordance with the Agency's final rule "...510(k) Summaries and 510(k)<br>Statements..." (21 CFR §807) and can be used to provide a substantial<br>equivalence summary to anyone requesting it from the Agency. |
| Device<br>description | The components of the Predicate Device (K970264) consists of 1) a Guiding<br>Sheath with posterior, anterior or multipurpose shaped distal tip section, 2) a<br>conventional sheath vessel dilator ( <i>vessel dilator</i> ), 3) a dual-tapered long<br>vessel dilator ( <i>exchange dilator</i> ), 4) a .032", 260cm guidewire, and 5) a<br>guidewire funnel. The components of the Predicate Device are packaged in<br>four configurations: 1) Guiding Sheath w/ posterior curve and vessel dilator,<br>2) Guiding Sheath w/ anterior curve and vessel dilator, 3) Guiding Sheath w/<br>multipurpose curve, vessel dilator, exchange dilator, .032", 260cm guidewire<br>and guidewire funnel, and 4) Posterior, Anterior and Multipurpose Guiding<br>Sheaths, vessel dilator, exchange dilator, .032", 260cm guidewire and<br>guidewire funnel. |
| | The packaging configuration of the Predicate Device has been modified to<br>offer the Guiding Sheath and Exchange System in two separate packages.<br>The Guiding Sheath ( <i>PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath</i> ) with posterior,<br>anterior or multipurpose shaped distal tip sections is packaged with a vessel<br>dilator and a short .032", 150cm guidewire. The Exchange System includes<br>the exchange dilator ( <i>PERRY Exchange Dilator</i> ), .032", 260cm guidewire,<br>and guidewire funnel. The distal end of the vessel dilator and both ends of the<br><i>PERRY Exchange Dilator</i> were modified by adding radiopaque tips with<br>tungsten to improve visibility under fluoroscopy. The function and intended<br>use of the Modified Device as compared to the Predicate Device are identical,<br>as are all component materials with the exception of the tungsten dilator<br>material. The addition of the tungsten material does not affect safety or<br>effectiveness as demonstrated in the Verification Test Data provided in<br>Appendix I. |
| Device<br>Description -<br>Continued | The PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheaths are intended to provide stability and<br>directional control during catheter ablation. The PREFACE Braided Guiding<br>Sheath is packaged with a vessel dilator with a radiopaque distal tip, and a<br>.032", 150cm guidewire. The PERRY Exchange Dilator will be utilized by<br>the physician to exchange the existing PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath for<br>an alternate PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath without losing the established<br>intracardiac position. The PERRY Exchange Dilator with radiopaque ends is<br>packaged with a .032", 260cm guidewire and guidewire funnel. |
| Intended use | The intended use of the Modified Device is to provide stability and directional<br>control during transcatheter ablation of endocardial tissue. |
| Indications<br>statement | PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath - The intended use of the percutaneous<br>Braided Guiding Sheath is for the introduction of intravascular<br>electrophysiology catheters into any cardiac chamber.<br> |
| | PERRY Exchange Dilator - The intended use of the PERRY Exchange<br>Dilator is for the transseptal exchange of Cordis Webster PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheaths which are used for the introduction of intravascular<br>electrophysiology catheters. The exchange dilator permits exchange of the<br>guiding sheaths while maintaining transseptal left heart access and control of<br>sheath location. |
| Technological<br>characteristics | The technological characteristics of the Modified Device are the same as the<br>Predicate Device. |

| Performance<br>data | Verification testing of the Modified Device was conducted to compare the<br>stiffness and the insertion force of the PERRY Exchange Dilator with<br>radiopaque tip and the dilator (of the PREFACE Braided Guiding Sheath)<br>with the standard 8F AVANTI Sheath (K970392). |
| Conclusion | Based on the 510(k) summaries and the 510(k) statements (21 CFR §807) and<br>the information provided herein, we conclude that the Modified Device is<br>substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device under the Federal Food, Drug<br>and Cosmetic Act. |
