Device Description

The EMPOWER™ Introducer Sheath with Hydrophilic Coating consists of a single-use disposable introducer sheath and dilator that is inserted into the peripheral vasculature to support the introduction of diagnostic or interventional devices, while minimizing blood loss associated with such insertions. The EMPOWER™ Introducer Sheath is coil-reinforced and coated with a lubricious hydrophilic coating. The EMPOWER™ hemostasis valve is integrated into the sheath hub and features a variable aperture seal for enhanced control over device insertion while maintaining hemostasis. The valve is normally closed until the user squeezes the actuator levers to proportionally open the valve and receive any device up to its labeled size. A sideport extends from the EMPOWER™ valve housing with a 3-way stopcock. The radiopaque dilator is designed to accommodate an .035” (0.89mm) guidewire and includes a proximal hub grip with a female luer taper fitting for flushing. Prior to insertion, the dilator hub can be secured to the EMPOWER™ housing with a quarter-turn twist.

GMDN Terms

Code	Name	Definition	Implantable	Status
38128	Vascular dilator, single-use	A sterile, hand-held, surgical instrument designed for insertion into a blood vessel (the vasculature) to unblock, enlarge or measure the internal diameter of the vessel during a surgical intervention. It is a rod-like device with a long, slender, body that terminates with a bulbous, cylindrical distal tip of various shapes and sizes. Commonly known as a vessel dilator or vascular probe, it is available in a variety of sizes (diameters and lengths) and flexibilities. It is typically made of metal or plastic materials. This is a single-use device.	No	Active
17846	Vascular guide-catheter, single-use	A flexible tube intended to be used for the percutaneous transluminal passage and placement of a diagnostic/interventional catheter, lead (e.g., pacing lead, balloon dilatation catheter), needle or guidewire through its lumen(s), within the vascular system. It may be rigid or flexible, non-steerable or steerable, single or multiple lumen(s), and the distal section can have a variety of preformed shapes (e.g., straight, hockey stick). It is not intended solely for infusion, is not intended to access superselective small vessels, and does not include a transseptal needle. It may include a disposable percutaneous introduction set or shaft visualization electrodes. This is a single-use device.	No	Active
36079	Haemostasis valve	A noninvasive device designed as a conduit through which a small-diameter diagnostic/interventional device(s) can be introduced into or withdrawn from a patient's vasculature while preventing backflow of blood; it might in addition be intended for urinary applications. It is intended to be attached, typically via Luer-lock, to an invasively-placed catheter introducer (not included) and typically has a self-sealing lumen(s) [e.g., Touhy-Borst valve] and sideport for the introduction of solutions. It may include noninvasive guidewire accessories (e.g., guidewire introducer). It is not designed to be connected between tubing (i.e., not an in-line valve). This is a single-use device.	No	Active
58865	Vascular catheter introduction set, nonimplantable	A collection of sterile, nonimplantable, invasive devices intended to provide percutaneous vascular access to enable introduction of a catheter (not included) into the vascular system. It includes a non-steerable introducer sheath with an inner obturator/dilator, and typically an additional access device(s) [e.g., guidewire, introducer needle, syringe, additional dilators] which may include a haemostatic valve to control blood loss, usually to enable arterial access. This is a single-use device.	No	Active
