The NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device is indicated for:
- The non-surgical removal of thrombus burden from coronary blood vessels,
- Use with adjunctive aspiration and with the injection or infusion of contrast media and other fluids.
The NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device ("NeVa") is a mechanical thrombectomy device that is temporarily inserted into the coronary vasculature under angiographic visualization in order to remove emboli and thrombus to restore blood flow to occluded vessels. The overall design of NeVa is similar to other commercially mechanical thrombectomy devices that use a self-expanding nitinol basket attached to a core pusher wire. To optimize emboli and thrombus removal, NeVa employs a capture cell design within the nitinol basket structure that incorporates a proprietary drop zone pattern. This proprietary drop zone design maximizes clot retrieval efficiency without changing the mechanism of action used by mechanical thrombectomy devices. As with other mechanical thrombectomy devices, NeVa is intended to be delivered through a compatible commercially available microcatheter to the target vessel. NeVa is intended to be retrieved into a guiding catheter with adjunctive aspiration to reduce potential emboli. NeVa is provided sterile and intended for single-use only. To accommodate different vessel diameters and clot sizes, NeVa is provided in multiple expandable tip sizes and configurations.

Device Description:
The NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device ("NeVa") is a mechanical thrombectomy device that is temporarily inserted into the coronary vasculature under angiographic visualization in order to remove emboli and thrombus to restore blood flow to occluded vessels. The overall design of NeVa is similar to other commercially mechanical thrombectomy devices that use a self-expanding nitinol basket attached to a core pusher wire. To optimize emboli and thrombus removal, NeVa employs a capture cell design within the nitinol basket structure that incorporates a proprietary drop zone pattern. This proprietary drop zone design maximizes clot retrieval efficiency without changing the mechanism of action used by mechanical thrombectomy devices. As with other mechanical thrombectomy devices, NeVa is intended to be delivered through a compatible commercially available microcatheter to the target vessel. NeVa is intended to be retrieved into a guiding catheter with adjunctive aspiration to reduce potential emboli. NeVa is provided sterile and intended for single-use only. To accommodate different vessel diameters and clot sizes, NeVa is provided in multiple expandable tip sizes and configurations.
Intended Use/Indication For Use:
The NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device is indicated for:
- The non-surgical removal of thrombus burden from coronary blood vessels,
- Use with adjunctive aspiration and with the injection or infusion of contrast media and other fluids.
Indications for Use Comparison:
The NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device (subject device) has the same intended use and similar Indications for Use as primary predicate, MegaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System ("MegaVac") (K171493). Both devices are mechanical thrombectomy devices that are temporarily inserted into the coronary vasculature under angiographic visualization to remove emboli and thrombus to restore blood flow to occluded vessels. Both devices are indicated for prescription use only.
Any differences between the subject device and primary predicate (K171493) regarding the Indications for Use, do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as confirmed through the performance testing, including simulated use and human factors testing.
Similarly, the NeVa subject device and the secondary predicate, NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device (K201085) are identical with respect to materials, components, design, manufacturing, and sterilization processes. The secondary predicate is indicated to remove emboli and thrombus to restore blood flow to occluded vessels in the peripheral vasculature. Performance testing was conducted to demonstrate the subject device performs as intended in the coronary vasculature, and the proposed indication for use is narrower than the predicate, therefore the differences in Indications for Use between the two devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Comparison:
The subject device, NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device, and the primary predicate, MegaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System ("MegaVac") (K171493) and the secondary predicate, the NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device (K201085), share many technological similarities and principles of operation. All devices are mechanical thrombectomy devices that are temporarily inserted into the vasculature under angiographic visualization to remove emboli and thrombus to restore blood flow to occluded vessels.
The overall design of the subject device is similar to MegaVac and uses an expandable nitinol basket that deploys distal to the clot to retrieve it. Both devices retrieve the expanded basket towards an aspiration catheter to remove the clot from the vasculature. Therefore, both devices utilize similar components to retrieve emboli and thrombus.
Vesalio has performed simulated use testing and Human Factors Usability testing to demonstrate that the subject device meets all required specifications for clot removal in the coronary vasculature. This test demonstrated that any technological differences between NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device and MegaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System (K171493) do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness, specifically when viewed in relation to retrieval components, accessories and workflow. A comparison of the subject device with the primary device is summarized in Table 1.
The NeVa PV subject device and the secondary predicate, NeVa PV Thrombectomy Device (K201085) are identical with respect to materials, components, design and manufacturing and sterilization processes and are equivalent from a technological standpoint.

Non-Clinical And/Or Clinical Tests Summary
To demonstrate that the subject NeVa PV device performs as intended in the coronary vasculature, Vesalio has conducted a Simulated Use study and Human Factors Usability study using NeVa PV introduced into a coronary model.
Simulated use and Fatigue test results was performed on a coronary model to demonstrate that the NeVa devices met all its acceptance criteria and performed as intended for Device Transfer and Deployment (Device Preparation, Device Introduction, Device Marker Band, Device Trackability/Compatibility, Device Flexibility, Device Navigation and Accessibility, Device Characteristics, Device-Microcatheter Compatibility), Device Torque (Torqueability) and Device Removal, in the coronary vasculature.
Vesalio also performed a Human Factors Usability study to confirm that the subject device's characteristics performs as intended using the worst case conditions during testing. All acceptance criteria were met. Results demonstrated that NeVa PV met all acceptance criteria and performed as intended in the coronary vasculature model.
Since the subject device is identical to the secondary predicate device, verification testing that were previously conducted as part of K201085 and are applicable to the design of the subject device, were leverage to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Testing included the following:
- Physical and Dimensional Inspection
- Tensile Strength Testing
- Af Temperature Verification
- Radial Forces Evaluation
- Torque Strength Testing
- Navigation/Steerability
- Delivery / Retrieval Testing
- Multiple Re-Sheathing Durability
- Flexibility/Kink Resistance
- Tip Deflection Testing
- Corrosion Resistance
- Radiopacity Verification
- Physician Usability Testing
- Biocompatibility
- Sterilization Validation
- Shelf-life Validation
Page 10
No clinical data are required to support this 510(k) submission, as substantial equivalence is demonstrated by bench, simulated use, animal, and usability testing.
Conclusion:
The collective results of non-clinical performance testing demonstrate that the subject device meets all design specifications and performs as intended for its intended use. Therefore, the results of these tests confirm that any technological differences between the subject device and the selected predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness and support that the subject device is substantially equivalent to as the predicate device for the intended use.
