10 Additional requirements for kits containing combinations of devices specified
In this International Standard
For kits of combinations of two or more different devices specified in this International Standard, the manufacturer shall give the appropriate dimensions listed in Table 4.
Sizes shall be designated as specified In the relevant clauses of this International Standard.
NOTE Many devices covered by this International Standard are commonly packaged in kits, thus, all the dimensions specified for Individual devices in this International Standard might not be nel:essary because the manufacturer will have ensured that the components of the kit will mate together property.
A.1 Sheath introducers
The tip of the sheath introducer should be designed so as to minimize rollback of the sheath whenentering the body tissues.
The tip of the sheath introducer should fit closely to the dilator and remain free from cracks duringnormal use.
The radial rigidity of the sheath introducer should be such that the introducer remains patent uponremoval of the dilator. The sheath introducer should be sufficiently flexible to permit manipulation butshould not kink under conditions of normal use.
A.2Guidewires
Surface coatings can be applied.If coating is applied, the guidewire shall meet all applicable requirementsof this International Standard.
Guidewire tip should be designed to minimize trauma; clinical risk assessment can be applied.A.3 Dilators
The dilator should have a certain flexibility, but sufficient rigidity to dilate the opening of the bloodvessel into which it is percutaneously inserted.The tip should be designed so as to minimize rollbackwhen entering body tissues.
