The outer tube is pre-loaded with the membrane sheath. ## Performance Data Performance data demonstrated no significant difference in the r crosmance of the UPDATED SLIP Urology Sheath and the predicate device. ### Substantial Equivalence The UPDATED SLIP Urology Introducer Sheath has the same intended use, indications for use, and principles of operation and very similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. The minor technological differences between the UPDATED SLIP Urology Introducer Sheath and its predicate, namely, the UPDATED SLIP sheath's obturator, luminal seal, and stabilizing ring, do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the UPDATED SLIP II'm gay Introducer Sheath is substantially equivalent to the cleared SLIP Urology Introducer Sheath. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America.
