Intended Use
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures.
Device Description
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a Single Use Clip Applier, and a Selection Guide to aid in appropriate Clip size selection. The frame assembly of the implantable Clip consists of two springs connecting two opposing tubes which are covered with pressure pads. This assembly is covered with a knit fabric. When closed, the Clip applies uniform pressure over the length of the Clip to ensure consistent, reproducible, and secure occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). The Clip is available in the following lengths to accommodate different sizes of LAA: 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm. The Clip Applier is a disposable device with a handle, shaft, and an end effector which contains the Clip. Both sides of the Clip are free to move within the end effector when activated. Pulling the thumb lever proximally opens the Clip. The bias of the Clip allows both the clip and the lever to return to the closed position when the lever is released.

Yes
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, which is a medical intervention aimed at treating or preventing a medical condition (e.g., stroke risk associated with atrial fibrillation).

No.
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is an implantable device used to occlude the left atrial appendage, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components: an implantable clip, a clip applier, and a selection guide. It also describes the materials and mechanical action of these components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "occlusion of the left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's organ.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable clip and applier designed to physically close off the left atrial appendage. This is a mechanical intervention within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of such specimens.

The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is a surgical implant and delivery system, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing: The AtriClip was tested on in both acute and chronic models ranging from 7 days to 90 days. Testing presented in the 510(k) document demonstrated complete appendage duration. exclusion both acutely and long-term in all animals with no adverse events attributed to the Clip device. Post-implant verification of efficacy confirmed there was no communication between the LAA and left atrium in all animals.

Clinical Testing: The AtriClip has been evaluated for safety and efficacy in a controlled clinical study of seventy subjects. The results of the study demonstrate the excellent performance of the product in its ability to exclude the LAA in a safe and efficient manner. Efficacy has been demonstrated at a very high rate intra-procedurally and this rate has been shown to improve as further healing was achieved. The observed exclusion rate of 95.1% composite (both intra-operative and 3 month) and 98% at 3 month follow-up support that this procedure can achieve excellent efficacy results.

The safety of the device and procedure has been well established through a careful scrutiny of all events reported in the study. Independent physician adjudication has demonstrated that there were no events that were in any way linked to the device or the procedure. The primary safety endpoint event rate in this trial is 0%. These results confirm the safety of the product and the procedure. The results further support the technical comparability of the product to other currently marketed options for LAA exclusion and therefore provides the clinical support to demonstrate a substantial equivalence of the AtriClip to the identified predicate devices.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Observed exclusion rate: 95.1% composite (both intra-operative and 3 month) and 98% at 3 month follow-up.
Primary safety endpoint event rate: 0%.

Intended Use

The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures.

Predicate Devices

The predicate devices for the AtriClip LAA Exclusion System are the Weck Hem-O-Lok® Ligating Clip and Clip Applier (K030311), Medtronic VNUS U-Clip and Applier (K031623), Tyco AutoSuture TA and GIA Staplers (K032696), Power Medical SurgASSIST® Straight Linear 4 Row No Knife DLUs with Reloads (K040398), Demetech Braided Nonabsorbable Polyester Suture and needle driver (K023030) and Gore SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement Material (K043056).

Device Description

The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a Single Use Clip Applier, and a Selection Guide to aid in appropriate Clip size selection. The frame assembly of the implantable Clip consists of two springs connecting two opposing tubes which are covered with pressure pads. This assembly is covered with a knit fabric. When closed, the Clip applies uniform pressure over the length of the Clip to ensure consistent, reproducible, and secure occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA).

The Clip is available in the following lengths to accommodate different sizes of LAA: 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm.

The Clip Applier is a disposable device with a handle, shaft, and an end effector which contains the Clip. Both sides of the Clip are free to move within the end effector when activated. Pulling the thumb lever proximally opens the Clip. The bias of the Clip allows both the clip and the lever to return to the closed position when the lever is released.

Materials

All materials in the AtriClip LAA Exclusion System are suitable for their intended use and have been used in previously cleared products. Testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 to ensure appropriate biocompatibility of all materials.

Predicate Comparison

The technological characteristics of the device are the same as the predicate devices. The same materials are used in the AtriClip and predicate devices. The sizes of the devices are equivalent and are provided in similar ranges. The method of LAA closure, permanent approximation of the sides of the LAA, is the same for the AtriClip and the predicates. All of the devices may be repositioned on the LAA prior to deployment and once deployed exert similar pressures on the tissue.

Non-Clinical Testing

The AtriClip was tested on in both acute and chronic models ranging from 7 days to 90 days Testing presented in the 510(k) document demonstrated complete appendage duration. exclusion both acutely and long-term in all animals with no adverse events attributed to the Clip device. Post-implant verification of efficacy confirmed there was no communication between the LAA and left atrium in all animals.

Clinical Testing

The AtriClip has been evaluated for safety and efficacy in a controlled clinical study of seventy subjects. The results of the study demonstrate the excellent performance of the product in its ability to exclude the LAA in a safe and efficient manner. Efficacy has been demonstrated at a very high rate intra-procedurally and this rate has been shown to improve as further healing was achieved. The observed exclusion rate of 95.1% composite (both intra-operative and 3 month) and 98% at 3 month follow-up support that this procedure can achieve excellent efficacy results.

These results confirm the safety of the product and the procedure. The results further support the technical comparability of the product to other currently marketed options for LAA exclusion and therefore provides the clinical support to demonstrate a substantial equivalence of the AtriClip to the identified predicate devices.

AtriCure®

Summary of Substantial Equivalence

As demonstrated by the predicate comparison of technological characteristics, data provided in the non-clinical studies and clinical testing, the AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is equivalent to the predicate products. The data presented in K093679 demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
