Clinical Performance Data:
TREVO 2 Study: 178 subjects enrolled from Feb 3, 2011 to Dec 1, 2011 at 26 sites in the US and 1 in Spain. DAC was used in 99 patients. For all 99 patients, the DAC was placed for additional support at the proximal face of the thrombus in the intracranial artery and used as a conduit during the retrieval procedure. Safety and efficacy of the thrombectomy procedure was similar to the overall TREVO 2 study population. The total procedure length, time from the first retrieval device to the final angiogram and number of thrombectomy device passes in this DAC cohort are similar to the TREVO 2 data illustrating that the additional step of using the DAC does not affect the procedure time. No complaints were attributed specifically to the DAC. The revascularization rate in these patients was 84.8%. No reports or findings that procedural events were related to DAC.

TREVO Study: A post marketing prospective, multi-center, single arm study at seven sites in Europe. 60 patients enrolled between Feb, 2010 and Aug, 2011. DAC was used as an insertion and guidance catheter in 34 patients. Aspiration through DAC was applied in 30 patients during withdrawal of the Trevo device. For all 30 patients the DAC was placed at or near the proximal face of the thrombus in the intracranial artery. Safety and efficacy was similar to the overall study population. The mean procedure time was not increased by the additional step of applying adjunctive aspiration during the withdrawal of the retriever. A high revascularization rate of 96.7% was observed. The ten point improvement in NIHSS at 24 hours and 7 days also supports the utility of the DAC adjunctive aspiration during withdrawal of the retriever device. None of the procedure related or CEC adjudicated events were related to DAC.

Post-Market Surveillance: Review of post market surveillance product complaints and Medical Device Reports (MDRs). Top device complaints for DAC are catheter kinks, lumen collapse or ovalization. Overall complaint rate for device problem or patient effect is low (0.21%). 10 MDRs filed from 2008 to July 31, 2013. Overall number of reportable events was small and no new risks were identified.

Literature Review: A total of 15 published articles reviewed. Literature showed that DAC is often used during thrombectomy procedures in acute ischemic stroke patients and is a contributory factor to the overall success of the procedure. DAC provides support in difficult distal anatomy and allows adjunctive aspiration during withdrawal of the retriever from the vessel. Studies showed that the revascularization rates in patients with DAC are similar or better to the acceptable revascularization rates for thrombectomy procedure. No unanticipated adverse events reported.

Conclusion: The Modified HD Guide Catheter is used often during thrombectomy procedures with comparable revascularization rates to previously reported results and no new patient risks were identified. The device provides better access to distal anatomy and support to the microcatheter and retrieval devices during insertion and allows aspiration of clots during withdrawal of the retriever device.

Risk Assessment

Risk assessment of the Modified HD Guide Catheter has been conducted in accordance with EN ISO 14971:2012. As a result of the risk assessment, the Instructions for Use have been revised to include recommended aspiration procedure steps for use of the Modified HD Guide Catheter with retrieval devices.

Testing and Non-Clinical Performance Data:

The results of verification and validation conducted on the Modified HD Guide Catheter demonstrate that it performs as designed, is suitable for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K090335 and K110483). The same performance standards, specifications and results as those submitted in the predicate devices (K090335 and K110483) are applicable to the subject device because the designs are identical and no changes have been made to the design, materials, processes, or packaging materials as a result of the expanded indications for use. Therefore, the following design verification tests submitted in the predicate devices (K090335 and K110483) are applicable to the subject device and its new indications for use:

  • . Tip Patency during Aspiration: the ability of the device tip to maintain patency during aspiration during simulated use testing was successfully evaluated.
  • Air Leak Resistance during Aspiration: the ability of the device to resist leakage ♥ during aspiration was successfully evaluated.
  • Leak Testing: the ability of the device to resist leakage was successfully evaluated.
  • Dimensional Testing: dimensions of the device were successfully verified. .
  • Tensile Testing: the tensile strength of the device was successfully evaluated. .
  • . Kink Resistance Testing: the ability of the device to withstand curves without kinking was successfully evaluated.
  • . Flexural Fatigue Testing: the flexural fatigue tolerance of the device was successfully evaluated.
  • Torque Testing: the ability of the device to withstand torsional forces was successfully evaluated.
  • Tip Flexibility Testing: the force to deflect the catheter tip was successfully . evaluated.
  • Coating Lubricity and Durability Testing: the durability of the hydrophilic coating . was successfully evaluated.
  • Flow Rate Testing: the rate of flow through the device lumen was successfully . evaluated.
  • . Luer Testing: luer integrity and conformance to luer standards was successfully evaluated.

To support the expansion of the Indications for Use (IFU), performance testing utilized design validation / simulated use testing to confirm that the subject device and accessories meets user needs "as a conduit for retrieval devices" and continue to meet design requirements of the predicate device. Simulated use testing evaluates the device's ability to be used in a neurovascular model per procedural instructions outlined in the modified Instructions for Use. Based on the results of the risk assessment, no other testing was required to demonstrate the device meets intended uses.

Design validation/simulated use testing was conducted using a neurovascular model cast from actual human neurovascular arteries. This bench testing model replicates the tortuosity, diameter and location of the arteries in the neurovasculature. The model incorporates a re-circulating water bath at 37℃ pressurized between 2 - 2.5 psi (100 -126 mm Hg) to simulate the human arterial circulation.

The simulated use tests described in Table 2 were conducted in support of the expanded indications for use. Finished sterilized devices were used for the simulated use testing. All design validation testing followed the procedural instructions outlined in the Instructions for Use which was revised to include a "Recommended Aspiration Procedure" for use with retrieval devices. Based on the successful completion of the testing, the subject device and its accessories have met all of the pre-specified requirements. A summary of the design validation / simulated use testing and the results is described in Table 2 below.

510(k) Summary (cont.)

Based on conformance with these test requirements, the Modified HD Guide Catheter is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices (K090335 and K110483).

10

Clinical Performance Data:

To demonstrate substantial equivalence, a review of the Thrombectomy REvasculatorization of large Yessel Occlusions in acute ischemic stroke (TREVO) 2 IDE study and the TREVO post market study in Europe was conducted to assess if thrombectomy procedures performed with the Modified HD Guide Catheter as a support catheter have similar revascularization rates as published trials and to identify any Modified HD Guide Catheter specific safety events which may preclude expansion of the indications for use "as a conduit for retrieval devices." Clinical data was also reviewed to identify if any of the procedure events were reported to be directly related to the Modified HD Guide Catheter, also marketed as the Distal Access Catheter (DAC).

TREVO 2 Study

The TREVO 2 study was an IDE trial designed to support FDA clearance of the Trevo Retriever in the U.S. The study enrolled 178 subjects between February 3, 2011 and December 1, 2011 at 26 sites in the United States and one site in Spain. A review of the TREVO 2 data showed that DAC was used in a total of 99 patients. For all 99 patients, the DAC was placed for additional support at the proximal face of the thrombus in the intracranial artery and used as a conduit during the retrieval procedure.

The overall review of the DAC 99 cohort in the TREVO 2 study, showed that safety and efficacy of the thrombectomy procedure was similar to the overall TREVO 2 study population. The total procedure length, time from the first retrieval device to the final angiogram and number of thrombectomy device passes in this DAC cohort are similar to the TREVO 2 data illustrating that the additional step of using the DAC does not affect the procedure time. In the 99 patients where DAC was used during the retriever procedure, no complaints were attributed specifically to the DAC. The microcatheters were able to track through the DAC to the clots in the majority of the cases. The revascularization rate in these patients was 84.8% and showed that successful revascularization was possible using DAC as a conduit for retrieval devices. There were no reports or findings that procedural events were related to DAC therefore supporting safety of DAC during thrombectomy procedures.

TREVO Study

The TREVO study was a post marketing prospective, multi-center, single arm study performed at seven sites in Europe and was designed to determine the revascularization rate of the CE-marked Trevo device in large vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke patients. Sixty (60) patients were enrolled between February, 2010 and August, 2011.

Review of the TREVO data showed DAC was used as an insertion and guidance catheter in a total of 34 patients. Further review of these 34 patients showed that aspiration through DAC was applied in 30 patients during withdrawal of the Trevo device. To support the aspiration step during the withdrawal of the Trevo retriever, data was reviewed for this 30 TREVO patient cohort. For all 30 patients the DAC was placed at or near the proximal face of the thrombus in the intracranial artery.

11

The overall review of the DAC cohort in the TREVO study, showed that safety and efficacy was similar to the overall study population. The mean procedure time was not increased by the additional step of applying adjunctive aspiration during the withdrawal of the retriever. Although this is a small cohort, a high revascularization rate of 96.7% was observed. The ten point improvement in NIHSS at 24 hours and 7 days also supports the utility of the DAC adjunctive aspiration during withdrawal of the retriever device. None of the procedure related or CEC adjudicated events were related to DAC which supports the safety of the DAC during thrombectomy procedures.

Post-Market Sureillance

In addition to the data review of the TREVO2 and TREVO trials, a review of post market surveillance product complaints and Medical Device Reports (MDRs) was conducted to assess the top complaints reported for DAC and to assess total number of reportable events. The top device complaints for the DAC are catheter kinks, lumen collapse or ovalization which is consistent with complaints routinely reported with this class of access devices. The overall complaint rate for device problem or patient effect is low for DAC (0.21%).

A review of the MDRs for DAC identified a total of 10 MDRs filed from 2008 to July 31, 2013. The overall number of reportable events was small and no new risks were identified from the post market surveillance database and the MAUDE database.

Literature Review

Literature was searched pertaining to DAC use in acute ischemic stroke to support safety of DAC during thrombectomy procedures. A total of 15 published articles were reviewed. The literature search showed that DAC is often used during thrombectomy procedures in acute ischemic stroke patients and is a contributory factor to the overall success of the procedure. DAC provides support in difficult distal anatomy and allows adjunctive aspiration during withdrawal of the retriever from the vessel. Studies showed that the revascularization rates in patients with DAC are similar or better to the acceptable revascularization rates for thrombectomy procedure. There were no unanticipated adverse events reported from using DAC. The literature supports safety and efficacy of DAC during thrombectomy procedures.

Conclusion:

The review of TREVO 2 and TREVO clinical trials, literature and post-market data showed that the Modified HD Guide Catheter is used often during thrombectomy procedures with comparable revascularization rates to previously reported results and no new patient risks were identified. The device provides better access to distal anatomy and support to the microcatheter and retrieval devices during insertion and allows aspiration of clots during withdrawal of the retriever device.

12

Summary of Substantial Equivalence:

Because the proposed expansion in indications for the Modified HD Guide Catheter does not alter the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate devices; and because risk assessments and successful validation testing and review of the clinical data from TREVO2 and TREVO studies, literature and post-market data raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness, Concentric Medical has determined that the Modified HD Guide Catheter with the expanded indications for use to be as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate devices.
