AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

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

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is described as "intended for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems," which directly addresses and treats a medical condition, qualifying it as a therapeutic device.

Diagnostic

No.
The device is described as an aspiration system for removing emboli and thrombi, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Aspiration Catheter, Separator) and a mechanical mechanism of action (aspiration), indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body.
Device Function: The Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System is used inside the body to physically remove blood clots (emboli and thrombi) from blood vessels. It's a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems." This describes a treatment, not a diagnostic test.
Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical action of aspiration and breaking up clots within the body.
Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description

The Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System's (INDIGO™ Aspiration System) fundamental mechanism of action is aspiration. Aspiration draws the embolus or thrombus into the Aspiration Catheter to remove the embolus or thrombus from the body. All Separators function to break up the clot inside of the catheter to make it more amenable to removal from the body via aspiration. The Aspiration Catheter and Separator are available in multiple configurations. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only.

. Burst Test
. Particulate Test
. Coating Integrity Test
. Flexibility Test
. Kink Resistance Test
. Ovalization Resistance Test
. Corrosion Test
. Torsion Test
. Simulated Use Test

The results of the tests appropriately address the physical and mechanical performance expectations of the devices. 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 Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System (INDIGO™ Aspiration System) devices are acceptable for the intended use and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

1.11.3 Animal Study

An animal study was conducted to evaluate the safe use of the Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System (INDIGO™ Aspiration System) devices. The studies 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.
The use of the devices resulted in no significant vascular response in these . experimental conditions.

1.11.4 Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System (INDIGO™ Aspiration System) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to intended use, operating principle, design concept, materials, shelf-life, packaging and sterilization processes.
