Intended Use
The Penumbra System is intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. The Reperfusion Catheters ACE 64 and ACE 68 are intended for use in revascularization within the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) within 8 hours of symptom onset.
Device Description
The Penumbra System ACE components are additional components to the currently available Penumbra System / Penumbra System MAX. The Penumbra System ACE components provide a larger lumen to assist in the removal of thrombus from the neurovasculature. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical thrombectomy device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The document states that the device is "intended for use in the revascularization of patients," which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Penumbra System ACE components are physical devices (catheters) intended for use in revascularization, provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use. This indicates a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Penumbra System is for the "revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body) to restore blood flow.
  • Device Description: The device description details components that "provide a larger lumen to assist in the removal of thrombus from the neurovasculature." This further reinforces its role as a device used directly within the patient's circulatory system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with patient specimens outside the body.

Therefore, the Penumbra System, as described, is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

10 Summary of Non-Clinical Data

As required under Section 12, Part (a)(i)(3A) of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, a summary of any information regarding substantial equivalence of the device follows.

Included in this section are summary descriptions of the testing, which substantiates the performance of the subject Penumbra System ACE 64 and ACE 68 as well as its substantial equivalence to the predicate devices:

  • . Biocompatibility
  • Design Verification (Bench-Top Testing) •
  • Design Validation (GLP Animal Testing) .

The subject Penumbra System ACE 64 and ACE 68 devices met all established requirements.

10.1 Biocompatibility Testing

Biocompatibility tests conducted on the materials of the Penumbra System ACE devices were selected in accordance with EN ISO 10993 - 1 guidelines (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) for limited duration (In Vitro Cytotoxicity | Sample extracts must yield cell

The results of the tests appropriately address the physical and mechanical performance expectations of the device. This is further supported by the surgical handling and performance results reported in the in vivo study. Based on these overall results, the physical and mechanical properties of the subject Penumbra System ACE devices are acceptable for the intended use and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

10.3 Animal Study

An animal study was conducted to evaluate the safe use of the Penumbra System ACE devices in a swine model. The study concluded that:

  • No vessel injury was noted on the final angiograms following the vessel . response procedure.
  • No abnormal gross or histology findings were noted in test vessel . segments.

10

  • The use of the Penumbra System ACE devices resulted in no significant • vascular response in these experimental conditions.

10.4 Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The subject Penumbra System ACE devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regard to intended use, operating principle, design concept, materials, shelf-life, packaging and sterilization processes.
