Intended Use
The Trevo Retriever is intended to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
Device Description
The Modified Trevo ProVue Retriever consists of a flexible, tapered core with a shaped section at the distal end. It is designed to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke. Radiopaque platinum wires in the shaped section and new radiopaque markers on the new truncated distal end allow fluoroscopic visualization. Retriever dimensions are indicated on the product label. The Retriever has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. A torque device and an insertion tool are provided with the Retriever. The proximal end of the device is compatible with the Abbott guide wire extension to facilitate removal or exchange of a catheter while maintaining the Retriever position in the vessel. The Modified Trevo ProVue Retriever is offered in two sizes.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the retriever and its materials, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended to treat ischemic stroke by removing thrombus and restoring blood flow, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device is described as a "Retriever" intended to "restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus." This indicates a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device (retriever) with specific dimensions, materials (platinum wires), coatings, and accompanying tools (torque device, insertion tool). This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke." This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical retriever designed to be inserted into blood vessels to remove clots.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device physically interacts with the thrombus within the blood vessel.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device does not perform any such analysis on specimens.

The device described is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The model ends at the mid carotid arteries and proximal support is provided by a guide catheter. The model incorporates a re-circulating water bath at 37°C pressurized between 2 – 2.5 psi (100 – 126 mm Hg) to simulate the human arterial circulation. All testing follows the procedural instructions outlined in the Instructions for Use. Simulated thrombus is used to assess the devices ability to retrieve clot. Simulated Use meets acceptance criteria.

Biocompatibility

The modified Trevo ProVue Retriever was assessed for impact to biocompatibility. Materials used in the modified Trevo ProVue Retriever are all the same materials used in the cleared Trevo ProVue Retriever (K122478). Furthermore, screening testing was performed successfully, providing further assurance that any design or process changes did not adversely affect the biocompatibility of the modified Trevo ProVue Retriever. Screening testing included cytotoxicity, hemolysis, and physicochemical testing, summarized below. Both the modified Trevo ProVue Retriever and the cleared Trevo ProVue Retriever meet biological safety requirements per ISO 10993-1 for externally communicating medical devices with circulating blood contact for less than 24 hours.
