The Pinnacle Destination Peripheral Guiding Sheath was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on May 21, 2008. It is manufactured by Terumo Medical and classified as a Class 2 device under product code DYB.

What It Is

The Pinnacle Destination Peripheral Guiding Sheath is a catheter-like device designed to provide a conduit for the introduction of interventional tools into the peripheral vascular system. It is typically composed of a flexible, kink-resistant material that allows for easy navigation through the vasculature. The sheath is used to maintain access to the vessel and facilitate the delivery of devices such as embolization coils.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Facilitate the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral vasculature.
  • Provide vascular access and support during peripheral endovascular procedures.
  • Assist with delivery of compatible devices, including embolization devices, when used according to the applicable product labeling.

Clinical Applications

  • Accessing peripheral arteries during endovascular embolization procedures.
  • Providing support for delivery of embolization coils and other compatible interventional devices.
  • Maintaining a stable conduit for catheter and guidewire exchanges in the peripheral vasculature.
  • Supporting treatment of selected peripheral vascular abnormalities when compatible devices are introduced through the sheath.

Reported off-label uses

  • Use as a guiding or support sheath in complex endovascular procedures beyond the specific indications or device combinations described in the labeling.
  • Use in selected visceral, pelvic, or other vascular interventions based on operator judgment and anatomy.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

  • The sheath is available in multiple sizes; selection depends on vessel diameter, access site, device compatibility, and the intervention being performed.
  • It is designed to resist kinking and provide support, but careful advancement under fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance is required.
  • The sheath must be used with compatible guidewires, catheters, and interventional devices according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
  • MRI safety depends on the exact model, materials, and labeling; confirm the device-specific MRI conditions before scanning.
  • Potential concerns include vessel injury, bleeding, thrombosis, infection, dissection, perforation, embolization, and contrast-related complications.
