Intended Use

The Phoenix® Atherectomy System is intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. It is not intended for use in coronary, carotid, iliac or renal vasculature.

Device Description

The AtheroMed Phoenix Atherectomy System is a sterile, single-use device designed for atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The Phoenix Atherectomy System has two main components: the Phoenix Catheter and the Phoenix Handle.

The Phoenix Catheter is a flexible, over-the-wire (OTW), front-cutting Catheter that continuously captures and clears debulked plaque proximally through the Catheter and Handle into a collection reservoir that resides outside the patient. For use, the Phoenix Catheter is inserted into the Phoenix Handle. The Handle incorporates a self-contained battery-powered motor designed to drive and rotate the cutter of the Phoenix Atherectorny Catheter at its specified rotational speed. The device is activated by an ON/OFF slider switch on the top of the Handle. An optional Wire Support Clip can also be used to clip a guidewire torque device in a fixed position relative to the Handle. The Catheter, Handle, and Wire Support Clip are each packaged separately, as sterile, single-use components of the Phoenix Atherectomy System.

There are three different models of the Phoenix Catheter. Two Phoenix Catheter models track directly over the guidewire with no tip deflection capability. These models are available in 1.8mm and 2.2mm tip diameter sizes. A third, 2.4mm tip diameter model has a Catheter tip design that can be deflected and rotated by the user so that the cutter can eccentrically debulk to a larger diameter than the Catheter's 2.4mm distal cutter. The controls for deflection and rotation are housed in the Phoenix Handle when the Catheter is inserted into the Handle.

All three Phoenix Catheter models are compatible with commercially available 0.014" exchange length (260cm or greater) guidewires, and all use the same Phoenix Handle.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Primary Safety Endpoint: Freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days94.3% (99/105 subjects)
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Acute technical success, defined as ability to achieve a residual diameter stenosis <50% (prior to any adjunctive therapy) using quantitative angiography or visual estimate95.1% (117/123 lesions)

Note: The document states that "Both primary endpoints met the predefined IDE study success criteria." However, the specific numerical thresholds for these success criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided text.

Study Information

1. Study Type and Design:

  • Study Name: EASE clinical study
  • Study Design: Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Total Patients Enrolled: 128
  • Per-Protocol Group: 105 subjects (with 123 treated lesions)
  • Data Provenance: Multi-center, prospective study. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the submission is to the FDA, implying a US-based or internationally recognized standard, likely including US centers given the FDA submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:

  • Number of Experts: An "independent physician adjudicator" was used to assess the primary safety endpoint. The exact number is not explicitly stated beyond "an" adjudicator, implying one or a group acting as a single entity for this purpose.
  • Qualifications: "independent physician adjudicator." Specific medical specialty or years of experience are not provided.
  • The primary effectiveness endpoint (acute technical success) was "assessed by the study investigator at the time of treatment." This implies the treating physician or a designated study investigator at each center made this assessment. Their qualifications are not further detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Safety Endpoint: "assessed by an independent physician adjudicator." This implies a form of independent review, though the specific method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not detailed.
  • Effectiveness Endpoint: "assessed by the study investigator." This suggests local assessment rather than a centralized adjudication committee for this particular endpoint.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • No. The study described (EASE clinical study) is a single-arm study evaluating the device's performance, not a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance. The device in question is an atherectomy system, a physical medical device, not an AI software.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance):

  • This question is not applicable as the Phoenix Atherectomy System is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI software intended for standalone performance without human interaction. Its design inherently involves human-in-the-loop (the clinician using the device).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Safety Endpoint: Clinical outcomes for Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days, independently adjudicated.
  • Effectiveness Endpoint: Angiographic assessment (quantitative angiography or visual estimate) of residual diameter stenosis <50% at the time of treatment. This is a direct measure based on medical imaging and clinical assessment.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • The provided document describes a clinical study (EASE) for performance evaluation. It does not mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI development. The device itself is a mechanical system, not an AI model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set for an AI model. The device is a mechanical atherectomy system.

Table 1 on the following page presents a summary of technological characteristics of the Phoenix Atherectomy System, as compared to the predicate devices.

Clinical Summary:

The EASE clinical study was a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and performance of the Phoenix Atherectomy System in the percutaneous atherectomy treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic lesions of infrainguinal lower extremity arteries. 128 total patients were enrolled across 16 centers for treatment. 105 subjects (with 123 treated lesions) comprising the Per-Protocol group were enrolled in accordance with the vessel sizing and anatomic location requirements corresponding to each Phoenix Catheter device size. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days, as assessed by an independent physician adjudicator. The primary effectiveness endpoint was acute technical success, defined as the ability to achieve a residual diameter stenosis <50% as assessed by the study investigator at the time of treatment with the Phoenix Atherectomy System (prior to any adjunctive therapy) using quantitative angiography or visual estimate. Patients were monitored for 6 months following baseline atherectomy treatment.

The 30-day freedom from MAE rate was 94.3% (99/105) and technical success was achieved in 95.1% (117/123) of the lesions treated in the per protocol group. Both primary endpoints met the predefined IDE study success criteria.

Following treatment of the first 36 subjects enrolled in the EASE Study, a higher than anticipated complication was observed. Of the first 36 subjects treated, there were 19 serious procedure or

{4}------------------------------------------------

device related adverse events and 6 adverse events met the definition of major adverse events (MAE). Specific to the MAE, there have been 5 dissections/perforations and one vessel occlusion requiring treatment. AtheroMed initiated a review of available data to assess the underlying causes. The analysis of these early results led to additional sizes of the Phoenix Atherectomy Catheter being added to the EASE Study protocol, as well as updated recommendations regarding minimum vessel diameters and anatomical locations for device use.
