Intended Use

The BSC/CA IABC's are indicated for use in patients with the following conditions: Refractory power failure. Cardiogenic shock. Unstable refractory angina. Hemodynamically significant mechanical complications secondary to acute MI: Ventricular septal defect. Mitral valve regurgitation. Papillary muscle rupture. Cardiac support for high risk general surgical and coronary angiography/angioplasty patients. Septic shock. The intended use of the 40 cc SUMO remains identical to that of the currently marketed IABC's. All of the devices are intended to provide temporary circulatory support of the left ventricle through controlled mechanical displacement of a volume of blood in the aorta. The mechanical action of the IAB catheter therapy lowers the cardiac workload by two means : 1. Systolic unloading, as noted by a reduction in the patient's systolic pressure, which provides reduced myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO,). 2. Diastolic augmentation which provides an increase in the mean aortic pressure and leads to an improvement in systemic and coronary arterial perfusion. Balloon pump therapy is achieved by inserting an intra-aortic balloon catheter into the descending thoracic aorta via the common femoral artery. Balloon inflation is timed to occur during diastole, beginning with the aortic valve closure. The balloon remains inflated until the onset of left ventricular ejection or systole, then rapidly deflates, reducing the aortic pressure, which in turn reduces the afterload.

Device Description

The proposed 40 cc SUMO consists of a polyurethane blend symmetrical balloon at the distal end of a polyurethane-covered nylon shaft. The balloon is coated with a thin layer of silicone fluid. A Nitinol central lumen runs throughout the length of the catheter and terminates at the distal tip. This central lumen may be used to pass the device over a quidewire. The balloon is supplied prewrapped for insertion.

Study Details

This submission relies on nonclinical (bench/laboratory) testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than clinical studies. Therefore, many of the typical clinical study parameters (like human reader performance, ground truth establishment on patient data, training set sizes from patient data) are not applicable.

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test set samples: The exact number of individual devices tested for each nonclinical test is not explicitly stated in all cases. However, the text refers to "test samples" for the Reliability/Integrity Test and Trackability Test, implying multiple units were tested. For example, "The 40 cc SUMO test samples were all able to cycle..." and "40 cc SUMO test samples were inserted..." For the other tests, results are presented as single figures (e.g., "the 40 cc SUMO at 41.7 oz," "the 40 cc SUMO maximum pumping rate limit was 170 bpm," "mean aneurization pressure of 8.0 psi"), or comparisons to predicate devices, which typically represent averages or representative results from sample sets.
    • Data provenance: The data is retrospective in the sense that it refers to testing performed on the device and its predicates prior to the submission date. The "country of origin of the data" is not explicitly stated but would be assumed to be conducted by Boston Scientific Corporation/Cardiac Assist, Inc. in the US.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. This was a nonclinical engineering and performance study, not a study involving human interpretation of medical images or patient data. Ground truth was established through engineering measurements and comparisons to predetermined specifications or predicate device performance.

  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable. As this was a nonclinical study, there was no adjudication of expert opinions. Performance was measured objectively.

  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This was not a study involving AI or human readers of medical cases.

  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a physical intra-aortic balloon catheter, not an algorithm.

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" for these tests was derived from objective engineering measurements and established performance characteristics of the device and its predicate devices. For example, comparing measured insertion force, maximum pumping rate, burst pressure, and volume displacement to predefined specifications or to the established performance of existing legally marketed devices.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This was a physical device, and the evaluation was based on nonclinical performance testing, not on data used to train an AI algorithm.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as there was no training set in the context of AI.

{1}------------------------------------------------

FDA has concurred with the substantial equivalence of the above referenced premarket notifications. All of these devices are currently legally marketed.

D. PROPOSED DEVICE INFORMATION

This premarket notification proposes the following changes to the current legally marketed 40 cc NICATH™:

  1. The balloon bladder inflation diameter change from 15 mm to 17 mm and length change from 27.5 cm to 22.0 cm. The diameter and length of the proposed balloon is the same as the predicate 40 cc Sensation™

E. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The proposed 40 cc SUMO consists of a polyurethane blend symmetrical balloon at the distal end of a polyurethane-covered nylon shaft. The balloon is coated with a thin layer of silicone fluid. A Nitinol central lumen runs throughout the length of the catheter and terminates at the distal tip. This central lumen may be used to pass the device over a quidewire. The balloon is supplied prewrapped for insertion.

ட் INDICATIONS FOR USE

The indications for use for the 40 cc SUMO is identical to that of the currently marketed predicate devices. The indications are as follows:

  • · Refractory power failure.
  • · Cardiogenic shock.
  • · Unstable refractory angina.
  • · Impending or extending myocardial infarction (MI).
  • Hemodynamically significant mechanical complications secondary to acute MI:
    • · Ventricular septal defect.
    • · Mitral valve requraitation.
    • · Papillary muscle rupture.
  • · Angiography/Angioplasty patients.
  • · Septal shock.

G. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The 40 cc SUMO is identical to the predicate 40 cc NICATH™ except for the inflated balloon diameter and balloon length (which are the same as the predicate 40 cc Sensation™). Test data and information demonstrates that the use of the 40 cc SUMO is substantially equivalent is the performance of the predicate devices on the BSC/CA 3001, Datascope Systems 90 and 97, St. Jude/Aries 700, Kontron KAAT and Bard H-8000 IABP's.

{2}------------------------------------------------

NONCLINICAL TESTS H.

1. Sheathed Insertion Test:

The force required to insert the 40 cc SUMO through it's introducer, over it's quidewire at 41.7 oz, was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the force required to insert the predicate 40 cc NICATH™ at 40.7 oz.

2. Sheathless Insertion Test:

The tightest restriction that the 40 cc SUMO can pass through 100% of the time is 0.100 inch which is substantially equivalent to the BSC/CA predicate devices at 0.095 inch, the 40 cc Datascope 9.5 F Percor-Stat at 0.100 inch, and the 40 cc 9 F Kontron/Arrow IAB at > 0.105 inch. All BSC/CA are well below the 0.118 inch dilator size provided for use with the sheathless introduction technique.

  1. Maximum Pumping Rate Limit Test:

The maximum pumping rate limit, defined as the maximum pumping rate at which the balloon is able to inflate and deflate fully (greater than or equal to 90% of it's nominal volume), was measured for the 40 cc SUMO on the BSC/CA 3001 IABP. The maximum pumping rate limit was 170 bpm which is substantially equivalent to the predicate 40 cc NICATH™ at 164 bpm and Model 940 at 140 bpm.

    1. Reliability/Integrity Test:
      Allen

The reliability of the 40 cc SUMO was compared to that of the predicate 40 cc NICATH™ by pumping test samples for a minimum of 3.6 million cycles. The 40 cc SUMO test samples were all able to cycle as reliably as the predicate 40 cc NICATH™

Following reliability testing, the 40 cc SUMO test samples were subjected to a maximum pumping rate limit test on the BSC/CA 3001. The maximum pumping rate limit post-reliability was 166 bpm which compares well with the pre-reliability value of 170 bpm. Inflate and deflate times were also found comparable pre-reliability versus post-reliability testing.

Dimensional inspection, visual inspection for signs of surface wear, and leak testing were performed. No changes in dimensions or signs of surface wear were noted. One test sample was damaged during removal from the maximum pumping rate limit test fixture and was found to leak during the leak testing; all other test samples passed the leak test.

    1. Trackability Test:
      40 cc SUMO test samples were inserted over their quidewire, into position, and withdrawn as a set to demonstrate that the catheters can perform with their insertion accessories. All the 40 cc SUMO as well as the predicate devices were able to track their guidewire into place without incidence. There were no catheter kinks, no guidewire kinks, nor any problems encountered inserting or removing the catheters through their introducer.

{3}------------------------------------------------

  1. Aneurization and Burst Test:

The aneurization and burst pressures of the 40 cc SUMO were found substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The 40 cc SUMO mean aneurization pressure of 8.0 psi which compares well with the mean aneurization pressure of 8.3 psi for the predicate 40 cc Sensation™. Results indicate that the 40 cc SUMO burst pressure of 6.3 psi compares favorably with the predicate 40 cc NICATH™ with a mean burst pressure of 6.1 psi.

  1. Transmembrane Pressure and Volume Measurement:

The volume of the 40 cc SUMO at a transmembrane pressure of 50 mmHq was found to be 41.7 cc which meets the acceptance criteria of 40 cc +/-5%, as did the predicate devices.

At a 40 cc displacement, the 40 cc SUMO transmembrane pressure on average will be 27 mmHg which meets the acceptance criteria of < 50 mmHq, as did the predicate devices.

Additional nonclinical tests performed for previous premarket notifications and submitted as reference within this submission include abrasion testing and kink resistance testing. Biocompatability testing was performed on all materials used for the 40 cc SUMO and submitted in prior premarket notifications.

1. CLINICAL TESTS

No clinical testing was performed bv Boston Scientific Corporation/Cardiac Assist in support of this premarket notification.

J. STERILIZATION AND PACKAGING

There are no changes to the packaging and sterilization of the 40 cc SUMO as compared to the predicate devices. The catheters are placed in a plastic tray and sealed into Tyvek/Mylar pouches and sterilized using 100% ethylene oxide gas. Ethylene oxide gas residuals and bacterial endotoxin levels are monitored for compliance with maximum release limits.

K. POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

Potential complications associated with the use of intra-aortic balloon catheters, in general, appear in the device's Directions for Use and are reproduced below.

  • · Leg ischemia.
  • · Femoral, aortic or illiac dissection.
  • · Arterial injury.
