No
The description focuses on mechanical components and procedures, with no mention of AI, ML, or image processing.
Yes
The device is used to prevent the distal release of and to aspirate embolic material during medical procedures in the cardiovascular system, directly impacting patient health by protecting against complications like major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Monitoring MACE in clinical trials confirms its therapeutic intent.
No
The device is described as a "proximal embolic protection system" used to prevent and aspirate embolic material during angioplasty and stenting procedures, and to control fluid flow. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a catheter, inflation device, aspiration syringe, lip seal, and strainer basket.
Based on the provided text, the Proxis System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during a medical procedure (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting) to physically prevent and remove embolic material from blood vessels. This is an interventional device used in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The description details a catheter-based system with components like an evacuation sheath, inflation device, aspiration syringe, etc., all designed for use within the vasculature.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, etc.) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the Proxis System is an interventional medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Proxis System is a proximal embolic protection system used in conjunction with other interventional devices. The Proxis System protects the patient from distal embolization by preventing antegrade flow of emboli release during an interventional procedure and then removing it from the vessel. The Proxis System consists of an Evacuation Sheath Catheter compatible with 7F or larger guide catheters, Inflation device, Aspiration syringe, Lip Seal and Strainer basket. In addition, an optional accessory called the Proxis Infusion Catheter (packaged separately, K023548) may be used with Proxis System.
The Proxis catheter is loaded onto the guide wire and tracked down to the distal portion of the guide catheter and proximal to the lesion site. To minimize the occlusion time, the interventional devices are advanced through the Proxis catheter and positioned near the distal tip. When the sealing balloon is inflated, antegrade flow of the fluid in the target vessel is prevented. To minimize the release of embolic material, stagnation of flow is accomplished before any devices touch or cross- the lesion(s).
In the stagnant flow, the guide wire is advanced across the lesion site and the interventional device is tracked over the guide wire. After the treatment, fluid and particles from the procedure are evacuated using the aspiration syringe. If there is insufficient venous or collateral flow, the Proxis Infusion Catheter (optional accessory) may be used to deliver saline distal to the treatment site while simultaneously applying vacuum to evacuate fluid and particles from the treatment site.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical verification and validation of the Proxis System was performed through extensive in vitro bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization, shelf life testing and in vivo animal studies. Results of the testing demonstrated that the Proxis System design met all specifications and intended uses.
A physician evaluation (20 patients) was performed to evaluate the usability aspects of the modified Proxis System as compared to the current Proxis System. In addition, the Proximal Trial was performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the current Proxis System for embolic protection during percutaneous treatment of saphenous vein graft (SVG) stenosis. The study consisted of a test arm (Proxis Embolic Protection System + current practice) and a control arm (current practice with market cleared distal protection devices, FilterWire and GuardWire). Six-hundred (600) randomized patients, with 117 additional roll-in and 5 educational patients were enrolled in 68 investigational sites in Canada, Europe and the United States. Five-hundred ninety-four (594) randomized patients were included in the analysis.

PREDICATE DEVICE INFORMATION 1.2.1.
The Proxis System included in this 510k submission is a modification to the current Proxis System by implementing three primary design changes and an expansion of indications to allow for use as an embolic protection system.
This Proxis System is physically identical to the predicate Proxis System, which is market cleared for a Flow Control indication (K042117) with the exception of three primary design modifications. The three primary changes include: Proxis catheter type changed from 'rapid-exchange' type to an 'over-the-wire' type., inflation device change from syringe type w/saline to pushbutton type w/CO2 and the backend configuration changed from a double Y-adaptor to a single Y-adaptor. The Proxis System is similar in function and intended use to market cleared predicate embolic protection systems: the FilterWire (K023691), GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System

1.2.2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Proxis System is a proximal embolic protection system used in conjunction with other interventional devices. The Proxis System protects the patient from distal embolization by preventing antegrade flow of emboli release during an interventional procedure and then removing it from the vessel. The Proxis System consists of an Evacuation Sheath Catheter compatible with 7F or larger guide catheters, Inflation device, Aspiration syringe, Lip Seal and Strainer basket. In addition, an optional accessory called the Proxis Infusion Catheter (packaged separately, K023548) may be used with Proxis System.
The Proxis catheter is loaded onto the guide wire and tracked down to the distal portion of the guide catheter and proximal to the lesion site. To minimize the occlusion time, the interventional devices are advanced through the Proxis catheter and positioned near the distal tip. When the sealing balloon is inflated, antegrade flow of the fluid in the target vessel is prevented. To minimize the release of embolic material, stagnation of flow is accomplished before any devices touch or cross- the lesion(s).
In the stagnant flow, the guide wire is advanced across the lesion site and the interventional device is tracked over the guide wire. After the treatment, fluid and particles from the procedure are evacuated using the aspiration syringe. If there is insufficient venous or collateral flow, the Proxis Infusion Catheter (optional accessory) may be used to deliver saline distal to the treatment site while simultaneously applying vacuum to evacuate fluid and particles from the treatment site.
1.2.3. INTENDED USE
The Proxis System is indicated for use as a proximal embolic protection system to prevent distal release of and to aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) in saphenous vein coronary bypass graft(s) (3.0 mm -- 5.0 mm) during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting procedures.
The Proxis System is also indicated to control the flow of fluids in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.2.4.
The Proxis device is physically the same Proxis device that was cleared under the flow-control indication (K042117) with the exception of three primary design modifications. The three primary changes include: Proxis catheter type ('over-the-wire' vs. 'rapid-exchange'), inflation device (pushbutton type w/CO2 vs. syringe type w/saline) and the backend configuration (single Y-adaptor vs. double Y-adaptor). The other difference is an expansion of the indications for embolic protection. The embolic protection expansion is supported by clinical data from the Proximal Trial that demonstrates substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices that have similar indications, i.e. FiiterWire EX Embolic Protection System (K023691) and PercuSurge GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System (K013913) and the Kensey Nash TriActiv (K042040). The primary difference in technologies to the predicate devices is that the Proxis System provides proximal occlusion vs. distal occlusion.
SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING 1.3.
Non-clinical verification and validation of the Proxis System was performed through extensive in vitro bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization, shelf life testing and in vivo animal studies. Results of the testing demonstrated that the Proxis System design met all specifications and intended uses.
SUMMARY OF CLINICAL DATA 1.4.
The modifications to the Proxis System do not impact the therapeutic aspect of the Proxis Embolic Protection System. As such, a physician evaluation (20 patients) was performed to evaluate the usability aspects of the modified Proxis System as compared to the current Proxis System. In addition, the Proximal Trial was performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the current Proxis System for embolic protection during percutaneous treatment of saphenous vein graft (SVG) stenosis. The study consisted of a test arm (Proxis Embolic Protection System + current practice) and a control arm (current practice with market cleared distal protection devices, FilterWire and GuardWire). Six-hundred (600) randomized patients, with 117 additional roll-in and 5 educational patients were enrolled in 68 investigational sites in Canada, Europe and the United States. Five-hundred ninety-four (594) randomized patients were included in the analysis. The following conclusions resulted from the study:
