You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for {1}------------------------------------------------ devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

A side-port with stopcock is integrated to allow continuous drip infusion, injection through the center lumen, flushing, aspiration, blood sampling and pressure monitoring. The FlexCath Advance Steerable Sheath and Dilator can be deflected to provide additional maneuverability to catheters that are advanced through the sheath and into the right or left chamber of the heart. The sheath is comprised of two (2) main sections: the shaft and the handle. A dilator is included September 9th, 2020 {4}------------------------------------------------ with each sheath. | | This premarket notification presents proposed design and<br>material changes to the hemostasis valve component, located<br>within the handle section.

The results of the design verification testing completed in support of the proposed changes demonstrate that the modified FlexCath Advance Steerable Sheath and Dilator in scope of this premarket notification meets all applicable product requirements. | | | The following design verification tests were successfully completed in support of the modified FlexCath Advance (subject device). All acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating compliance with the applicable product requirements: | | | Pressure decay and vacuum testing Kink testing Pull force testing Insertion and retraction force testing | | | All design verification testing was performed on final finished product incorporating the proposed design and material changes. | | | Biocompatibility of the subject device was assessed via the following testing, in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018: | | | Cytotoxicity testing Sensitization testing Irritation or Intracutaneous Reactivity testing Systemic Toxicity testing (acute) | | • | Pyrogenicity testing (Material-mediated) | | • | Hemocompatibility (Hemolysis, Complement Activation) | | ○ | The following additional hemocompatibility testing and safe history of use was leveraged from the predicate device: | | ■ | Thrombogenicity in vivo | | ■ | Coagulation, PTT test | | ■ | Platelets | | ■ | Hematology | | The results of the biocompatibility testing completed and leveraged support the conclusion that the subject device is biologically safe as guided by ISO 10993-1:2018 for use in its intended application. | | | A sterilization qualification study was conducted for adoption of the modified FlexCath Advance (subject device) into the existing, validated EO sterilization cycle. The following tests were performed: | | | • | EO Residual testing | | • | Bioburden testing | | • | Bacterial endotoxin testing | | Qualification testing results for EO residuals, bioburden, and bacterial endotoxin met their respective acceptance criteria with valid assays conducted by qualified laboratories. | | | Conclusion: | There are no changes to the intended use, indications for use, or fundamental scientific technology between the subject and predicate devices. Design verification testing was completed to verify that the performance of the modified FlexCath Advance Steerable Sheath and Dilator. All results demonstrate the properties and performance of the modified FlexCath Advance Steerable Sheath and Dilator are suitable for the intended use. There are no differences between devices identified in testing that raised new questions of safety or effectiveness, and the subject device is considered substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device. | {5}------------------------------------------------ {6}------------------------------------------------
