No
The summary describes a mechanical device for blood flow reversal and filtration during carotid procedures. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended to provide embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures by reversing blood flow and capturing embolic material, which directly treats a condition (carotid artery stenosis) and prevents complications (embolic events).
No
The device is primarily intended for therapeutic and protective purposes during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures, such as providing vascular access, delivering therapeutic devices, and offering embolic protection. While it facilitates the introduction of diagnostic agents, its core function is not to diagnose.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (sheaths, flow controller, filter) and mentions bench testing, animal studies, and clinical trials related to the performance and safety of these physical components. It is a hardware device with a specific mechanical function (flow reversal and embolic capture).
Based on the provided information, the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during a medical procedure (carotid artery angioplasty and stenting) to provide vascular access, introduce other devices, and protect against emboli. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not an in vitro (outside the living body) diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description details a system of sheaths and a flow controller designed to create an arteriovenous shunt and reverse blood flow. This is a mechanical system for manipulating blood flow within the body, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's mechanical function, biocompatibility, and clinical outcomes related to the procedure itself (stroke, MI, death, device success, technical success, adverse events). They do not involve evaluating the device's ability to accurately measure or detect substances in biological samples.
In summary, the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System is a therapeutic and procedural device used in vivo during carotid artery procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
Silk Road Medical, Inc. is the manufacturer of a single use device intended to provide embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures. The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is designed to transport emboli away from the carotid artery circulation by reversing blood flow at the treatment site prior to crossing a lesion in the carotid artery and during lesion manipulation. It has an in-line filter used to capture and contain embolic material liberated during the procedure.
The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS consist of three primary components: the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath (Model #1016), the ENROUTE Venous Return Sheath (Model #1026), and the ENROUTE Flow Controller (Model #2031). When assembled, the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS creates an Arteriovenous Shunt. The Transcarotid Arterial Sheath is placed in the carotid artery below the carotid bifurcation. The Venous Return Sheath is placed into the femoral vein. The Arterial and Venous Sheaths are connected by the Flow Controller, thereby completing the Arteriovenous Shunt. When the carotid artery is occluded just proximal to the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath insertion site, the arterial/venous pressure gradient diverts or reverses the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) blood flow thereby directing the blood from the cerebral arteries through the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath, through the Flow Controller, and out through the through the Venous Return Sheath into the venous circulation. The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is an ethylene oxide sterilized, non-pyrogenic, single-use prescription device.
The associated accessory for use with the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is an FDA cleared 0.038" quidewire (K890959). The quidewire is used to facilitate the insertion of the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath into the common carotid artery (CCA) and the Venous Return Sheath into the femoral vein.

Animal Studies
A series of GLP animal studies were performed to evaluate the safety, performance and handling of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System as compared to a control device (Gore Flow Reversal System (K083300)) in both ovine and porcine models. Based on pathology and histopathology results, the safety acceptance criteria for the studies were met. Performance and handling observations were made based on detailed characteristics of the device. No untoward observations were found by the clinician.
Clinical Performance Testing
The ROADSTER study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System in conjunction with all commercially approved carotid artery stents used for revascularization in patients with carotid disease who are at high risk for complications from carotid endarterectomy (CEA). There was a lead-in phase of up to five (5) patients per Investigator to allow Investigators to gain experience with the study device prior to pivotal study enrollment. Seventeen (17) sites in the United States of America and one (1) in the European Union participated in the study under IDE G120143.
Sixty-seven (67) lead-in and one hundred forty-one (141) pivotal subjects at high risk for complications from CEA were enrolled between November 2012 and July 2014. The intent of this study was to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Subject Device in providing cerebral embolic protection during angioplasty and stenting procedures in carotid arteries in subjects at high risk for complications from CEA.
8
The Subject Device also facilitates access to the carotid and neuro anatomy for the introduction of therapeutic or diagnostic endovascular devices and/or agents.
Subjects were followed for 30-days post procedure. Subjects who were suspected of having a stroke were asked to return at 3 months post procedure for a follow-up neurological exam. Subjects suspected of having a procedure related cranial nerve injury were asked to return at 6 months post-procedure for a follow up neurological examination.
Primary Endpoint: The primary endpoint is a hierarchical composite of any stroke, myocardial infarction and death during a 30-day post-procedural period in the ITT (pivotal) population comprised of subjects deemed to be at high risk for complications from CEA.
Secondary Endpoints: The following secondary endpoints will be assessed 0 to 30 days in the ITT (pivotal) population comprised of subjects deemed to be at high risk for complications from CEA:
●
●
.
- Technical success ●
- Acute Device success
- . All stroke
All Mi
- . Procedural success
- . Access Site Complications
- Contrast Usage
Cardiac death
Ipsilateral stroke
Effectiveness:
All death
●
.
The study population enrolled in the ROADSTER study was comparable to other contemporaneous studies of CAS and embolic protection devices (EPDs). In addition to inclusion of subjects deemed to be at high risk for complications from CEA, the demographics and baseline characteristics, medical history, cardiopulmonary history, neurological history reflect similar populations. The study met its primary endpoint because the upper 95% confidence interval of the observed primary endpoint event rate (3.5%) was significantly lower that the performance goal of 11% (p=0.0047).
Technical success, acute device success, procedural success and procedural access site complications were calculated and presented using counts, percentages,
9
and exact 95% binomial confidence intervals. Acute device success was 99.3% (140/141, 95% Cl 96.57%, 99.88%). Technical success was 99.3% (140/141, 95% Cl 95.84%, 99.70%).
Safety:
For the Subject Device, 14.2% of patients had one or more serious adverse events. Adverse events for both the Subject Device and the Predicate Device included access site complications (hematoma, vessel dissection, hemorrhage), hypotension and stent thrombosis. In all adverse events. 9.5% of the events were unrelated to the device, 1.2% possibly related to the device, 2.4% probably related to the device and 3.7% related to the device.
Summary:
Based on the clinical performance as documented in the pivotal clinical study, the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the Predicate Device.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Since the Predicate Device was cleared based in part on the results of clinical studies, and since comparison of bench testing to clinical outcomes is still not well understood for this type of device, clinical testing was required to support substantial equivalence. The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the verification and validation demonstrate that ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical data demonstrate that the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS performs comparably to the Predicate Device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
