The NHanceIT is a 0.014" OTW guide wire support catheter. The target lesion can be reached by using the femoral or brachial approach. The catheter has a distal port, which accesses the guide wire lumen. The guide wire lumen begins at the proximal end and terminates at the distal tip. The catheter has a radiopaque tip section to indicate the distal end of the support catheter. The tip is visible under X-ray. The length of the catheter is designed that the distal end of the catheter may be used to navigate to lesions in more distal vessels. The distal part carries a deformable atraumatic tip to help center the wire in the vessel. **Intended Use/Indications for Use** The IMDS NHanceIT Guide Wire Support Catheter with hydrophilic coating is a guidewire exchange and infusion device designed for use in the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature. The catheter is intended to support a guidewire during access of coronary and/or peripheral vasculature and allows for exchange of guidewires and provide a conduit for the delivery of diagnostic contrast agents. The device is contraindicated for use in the neurovasculature. **Technological Characteristics Comparison** The NHanceIT is similar in design to the predicate device and both are OTW single lumen guide wire support catheters intended to support a guide wire during access of coronary and/ or peripheral vasculature, allow for exchange of guide wires and provide a conduit for the delivery of diagnostic contrast agents. | # | Item | NHanceIT | Turnpike LP | Equivalent* (Yes or Different) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Model number | NX31413525 | 5638 | | | 1 | Type clinically based | Over the wire single lumen guide wire support catheter | Over the wire single lumen guide wire support catheter | Y | Page 1 of 3 {5} K262396 | 2 | Shaft material | Pebax / Polyethylene | Unknown | D | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3 | Shaft reinforcement | Stainless steel | Stainless steel | Y | | 4 | Number of guide wire distal exit ports | 1 | 1 | Y | | 5 | Over the wire guide wire lumens | 1 | 1 | Y | | 6 | Radiopaque marker material | TPE / Tungsten | Unknown | D | | 7 | Effective Length or Usable Length | 135 cm | 135 cm | Y | | 8 | Exit Marker location (from tip) | 95 and 105 cm | No markers | D | | 9 | Guide wire compatibility | 0.014 inch | 0.014 inch | Y | | 10 | Distal tip outer diameter | 0.58 mm | 0.57 mm | D | | 11 | Distal shaft outer diameter | 0.73 mm | 0.73 mm | Y | | 12 | Proximal shaft outer diameter | 1.07 mm | 0.96 mm | D | | 13 | Minimum Guiding Catheter size | 5 Fr | 5 Fr | Y | | 14 | Tip design / shape | Straight | Straight | Y | | 15 | Hydrophilic coating distal shaft | Present | Present | Y | | 16 | Hydrophilic coating material | PUR / PVP hydrophilic coating | Unknown | D | | 17 | Inner lumen coating | MDX | Unknown | D | The NHanceIT is similar in design and technological characteristics to the predicate device.
