Seal adjusted via clockwise/counterclockwise rotation of cap to control fluid loss and device movement; open position allows air/fluid purging and device advancement/withdrawal. Device maintains hemostasis at percutaneous entry site; prevents blood loss; facilitates safe introduction of diagnostic/interventional tools into vasculature. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Verification testing demonstrated that the modified device meets established acceptance criteria and performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Tuohy-Borst type adjustable seal; manual rotation mechanism for seal compression; compatible with percutaneous vascular catheters and leads. Materials, sterilization, and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent to the predicate device. ## Regulatory Identification A cardiopulmonary bypass adaptor, stopcock, manifold, or fitting is a device used in cardiovascular diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic applications to interconnect tubing, catheters, or other devices. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. ## Predicate Devices - Rotating Hemostasis Valve ([K854261](/device/K854261.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Bypass, Hemostasis Valve | #### Device Classification: Class II ### Summary of Substantial Equivalence: The design, materials, method of delivery and intended use features of the modified Rotating Hemostasis Valve is substantially equivalent with regard to these features in their predicate device, Rotating Hemostasis Valve (K854261/12-04-85) ### Device Description: The RAPIDO™ Cut-Away Rotating Hemostasis Valve is recommended for use during vascular procedures in conjunction with interventional and/or diagnostic devices such as balloon catheters, wires, and pacemaker and defibrillation leads. The RAPIDO™ Cut-Away Rotating Hemostasis Valve has a single adjustable seal that provides control over fluid loss. The seal is a Tuohy-Borst type that may be adjusted by rotating the cap clockwise to close, and counterclockwise to open. The seal is adjusted to control leakage and device movement. An open RHV seal allows air and fluid to be purged while allowing the advancement/withdrawal of diagnostic/ interventional devices ### Intended Use: The Guidant Hemostasis Valve is used to maintain hemostasis around catheters percutaneously introduced into the vasculature. {1}------------------------------------------------ # Technological Characteristics: Comparisons of the proposed and predicate device show that the technological characteristics such as materials, performance characteristics, sterilization and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device. # Performance Data: The results of the verification testing demonstrate that the modified Rotating Hemostasis Valve meets the established acceptance criteria and perform in a manner equivalent to the predicate device. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program. # Conclusions: The modified Rotating Hemostasis Valve has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and performance properties as the Guidant approved Rotating Hemostasis Valve. Therefore, there are no new safety or effectiveness issues. The modified Rotating Hemostasis Valve is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Stephanie Isgrigg Robinson Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
