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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and operation, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data analysis for decision-making.

Yes.
The device is used for "atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature," which is a medical procedure to remove plaque from arteries, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an atherectomy system designed for the percutaneous removal of atherosclerotic plaque from peripheral arteries, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components including a catheter, handle, battery-powered motor, and an optional wire support clip. These are hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Phoenix® Atherectomy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature," which is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body) to remove plaque from blood vessels.
  • Device Description: The description details a system designed to be inserted into the body to physically remove material. It involves a catheter, handle, motor, and cutter.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Phoenix Atherectomy System does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The device is clearly designed for a therapeutic intervention within the patient's body, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

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

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
