Indications 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.

Device Story

The Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit consists of an introducer sheath with an integrated fiber optic pressure transducer, a vessel dilator, and a guidewire. Used in clinical settings by physicians to facilitate vascular access for diagnostic or interventional devices. The sheath connects to the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor to provide continuous, high-resolution, instantaneous pulse wave hemodynamic data. The device assists in placement via a guidewire and dilator, which are removed once the sheath is positioned. The monitor displays blood pressure measurements, allowing the clinician to observe real-time hemodynamic status during procedures. This continuous monitoring aids clinical decision-making by providing immediate feedback on patient blood pressure, potentially improving patient safety during vascular interventions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included luer verification, dimensional verification, accessories compatibility, radiopacity, tip deflection, kink resistance, sensor functionality, tip compression, liquid leakage, separation force, and corrosion resistance. The device met all specified criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Introducer sheath with integrated fiber optic pressure transducer. Includes vessel dilator and J-tipped guidewire. Features hemostasis valve, suture ring, and locking sheath hub. Radiopaque for imaging. Sterile (EO). Designed for connection to the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring vascular access for diagnostic or interventional procedures where continuous blood pressure monitoring is required.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

DEVICE Name of the device: Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit Common of usual name: Introducer Catheter and accessories Classification name: Catheter Introducer Regulatory Class: 2 Product Code: DYB (classification); DXO (subsequent) - III. PREDICATE DEVICE Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit (K141275) 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 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 {4}------------------------------------------------ manner as do standard catheter introducers. The PSS introducer sheath has an integrated pressure sensor that provides high resolution, continuous, and instantaneous pulse wave hemodynamics to monitor blood pressure. The PSS introducer sheath is intened only for connectin with the Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor. The 6F 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. INDICATIONS 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. ### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 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 catheter 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 devices are based on the following same technological elements: - Compatibility with Endophys Blood Pressure Monitor . - l Hemostasis valve- to prevent blood leakage during the procedure - Suture ring- aid in placement - Fiber optic pressure transducer I - I Visibility under radiographic imaging - I Locking sheath hub {5}------------------------------------------------ The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices: - Modify sheath hub taper for ease of dilator insertion l - Increase in sheath inside diameter from 0.82 to 0.89 - ' Incorporate locking dilator hub feature - I Modify dilator/sheath dimensions to minimize sheath/dilator profile including a reduction in sheath shaft length and increased taper #### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence. - l Luer verification - Dimensional verification ■ - Accessories compatibility - I Radiopacity - Tip deflection - Kink resistance - I Sensor functionality - l Tip compression - I Liquid leakage - Separation force - I Corrosion resistance The modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath met all specified criteria and did not raise new safety or performance questions. Based on the design verification performance the modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit was found to have the a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device. #### VIII. CONCLUSIONS The design testing performed as a part of the applied Design Controls to the modified Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit demonstrated that the performance of the modified device is equal to the legally marketed Endophys Pressure Sensing Sheath Kit.
