Intended Use

The Rist™ Radial Access Catheter family is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature. The Radial Access Selective Catheter can also facilitate introduction of diagnostic agents in the neuro vasculature but is not intended for diagnostic agents in coronary or peripheral arteries.

Technology

The devices are single lumen catheters with reinforced shafts (stainless steel and nitinol), radiopaque marker bands for visualization, hydrophilic coating on the distal 25 cm of the guide catheters to reduce insertion force, PTFE-lined lumen for reduced friction, and are supplied sterile for single use. The tapered shaft of the selective catheter is radiopaque with Simmons 2 or Berenstein shapes at the distal tip.

Performance

Non-clinical bench testing including in-vitro simulated use studies per ANSI/AAMI HE75:2009/(R) 2018 demonstrated the devices meet acceptance criteria, supporting substantial equivalence to predicate devices. No clinical or animal testing was required due to unchanged indications, materials, and fundamental technology.
