Intended Use
The Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coils are intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms that - because of their morphology, their location, or the patient's general medical condition - are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be a) very high risk for management by traditional operative techniques, or b) be inoperable. The Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coils are also intended for the embolization of other neuro vascular abnormalities, such as, arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae.
Device Description
The Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coil System is manufactured from a platinum alloy wire, which is first wound into primary coil and then formed into a secondary helical shape. The coil is welded to a positioning wire, which consist of ground stainless steel core wire with a stainless steel coil laser welded at the distal end and a Teflon outer jacket. The coil is detached by the battery operated power supply (Sapphire Detachment System, SDS), which dissolves a small detachment element between the emboliozation coil and the positioning wire. The fibered coil is manufactured with nylon fibers secured into the primary coil. The fibered coils are available in two shapes (Helix and Cyclone) and different sizes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and mechanical detachment mechanism. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes.
The device is intended for the "endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms" and "other neuro vascular abnormalities," which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as an embolization coil system used for treating intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of platinum alloy wire, stainless steel, and nylon fibers, along with a battery-operated power supply for detachment. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coils are physical devices intended to be implanted inside the body (endovascularly) to treat intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities. They are used for embolization, which is a procedure to block blood flow.

The device's function is to physically interact with and modify the patient's anatomy, not to analyze biological samples in a lab setting.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).

Micro Therapeutics, Inc. Premarket Notification (510(k) for Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coil System

Purpose Of the Submission

This Premarket Notification is submitted to obtain marketing clearance for a change in the indication for use of the Sapphire Detachable Fibered Coil System. The Sapphire fibered coils have originally received 510(k) clearance (K031852) on August 20, 2003 for embolization of neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulae as well as arterial and venous cmbolization in the peripheral vasculature.

The proposed change in indication is to expand the use of the fibered coils in ancurysm. This is supported by in-vivo, in-vitro studies as well as technological comparison to the predicate device, Cook, Inc. Hilal embolization Microcoil.
