Background Information on ICCVAM and NICEATM: ICCVAM is an interagency committee composed of representatives from 16 federal regulatory and research agencies that require, use, generate, or disseminate toxicological and safety testing information. ICCVAM conducts technical evaluations of new, revised, and alternative safety testing methods and integrated testing strategies with regulatory applicability. ICCVAM also promotes the scientific validation and regulatory acceptance of testing methods that more accurately assess the safety and hazards of chemicals and products and replace, reduce, or refine (enhance animal well-being and lessen or avoid pain and distress) animal use. The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 285l–3) establishes ICCVAM as a permanent interagency committee of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and provides the authority for ICCVAM involvement in activities relevant to the development of alternative test methods. Additional information about ICCVAM can be found at https:// ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/iccvam. NICEATM administers ICCVAM, provides scientific and operational support for ICCVAM-related activities, and conducts and publishes analyses and evaluations of data from new, revised, and alternative testing approaches. NICEATM and ICCVAM work collaboratively to evaluate new and improved testing approaches applicable to the needs of U.S. federal agencies. NICEATM and ICCVAM welcome the public nomination of new, revised, and alternative test methods and strategies for validation studies and technical PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 evaluations.

SUMMARY: Medical Device for Vascular Dilation A vascular dilator is commonly used in transcatheter cardiovascular intervention procedures. Commercially available vascular dilators have introducer sheaths with a finite thickness and mismatched diameter with the dilators. This causes uneven stretching of the trailing edge of the sheath and severe damage to the target vessels. This technology produces the specialized sheath with a shoulder that can be introduced percutaneously with an enhanced dilator into a broad range of diseased target vessels and chambers with reduced vascular injury. The shoulder helps to match the diameter of the introducer sheath so that there is a smooth transition between the dilator and the introducer sheath. The invention allows the dilator to be withdrawn in segments without disrupting the introducer sheath.

Medical Device for Vascular Dilation

    A vascular dilator is commonly used in transcatheter cardiovascular 
intervention procedures. Commercially available vascular dilators have 
introducer sheaths with a finite thickness and mismatched diameter with 
the dilators. This causes uneven stretching of the trailing edge of the 
sheath and severe damage to the target vessels. This technology 
produces the specialized sheath with a shoulder that can be introduced 
percutaneously with an enhanced dilator into a broad range of diseased 
target vessels and chambers with reduced vascular injury. The shoulder 
helps to match the diameter of the introducer sheath so that there is a 
smooth transition between the dilator and the introducer sheath. The 
invention allows the dilator to be withdrawn in segments without 
disrupting the introducer sheath.
