Device Description
The Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter is designed for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via percutaneous delivery in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The Option ELITE Vena Cava Filter 100cm System is designed for IVC filter insertion, delivery, deployment and placement via the popliteal and antecubital approach. The self-centering Option™ ELITE Filter is laser cut from nickel -titanium alloy (Nitinol) tubing. The Option™ ELITE Filter consists of shape memory Nitinol struts emanating from a central location and is designed for optimal clot capture. Retention anchors (retention hooks) are located at the caudal portion of the filter. These anchors are intended for filter fixation to the vessel wall. The Option™ ELITE Filter is intended to be used in caval diameters up to 30mm. A retrieval hook is centrally located at the cranial extremity. The constrained Option™ ELITE Filter is flexible and expands to the internal diameter of the IVC upon deployment. The Option™ ELITE Filter imparts an outward radial force on the luminal surface of the vena cava to ensure proper positioning and stability. The Option™ ELITE Filter is designed to prevent pulmonary embolism while maintaining caval patency through central filtration. The introduction kit is comprised of a filter housed in a filter cartridge, Catheter Sheath Introducer (5F ID), Angiographic Vessel Dilator with an open end, and a Pusher with deployment marker. The Angiographic Vessel Dilator has side holes and 2 radiopaque markers, separated by 32mm (between the marker bands), that provide linear measurement of the inferior vena cava and assists in angiographic visualization when radiopaque contrast is delivered. The pusher advances the filter through the Catheter Sheath Introducer up to the deployment marker, and is then used to fix the filter in place during uncovering. The distal end of the Catheter Sheath Introducer can be controlled by rotating the entire device to position the Catheter Sheath Introducer in the center of the vena cava. The Filter Cartridge houses the Option™ ELITE Filter. The body of the Cartridge has text and colored arrows printed on it that identify assembly orientation; femoral is printed in green and jugular is printed in blue. The femoral orientation is used for the popliteal approach and the jugular orientation is used for the antecubital approach. The arrow of the desired access site will point into the Catheter Sheath Introducer hub. The Angiographic Vessel Dilator is designed to provide angiorraphic visualization and linear measurement of the vasculature when used in conjunction with the delivery of radiopaque contrast media to the vena cava.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of the vena cava filter and its delivery system. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies described are based on simulated use testing of the mechanical aspects of the device.

Yes
The device is intended for the prevention and treatment of recurrent pulmonary embolism, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a vena cava filter, which is an implantable medical device designed to prevent pulmonary embolism by capturing blood clots. Its primary function is therapeutic/preventative, not diagnostic. While it mentions angiographic visualization and linear measurement with a dilator, these are ancillary functions for proper placement of the filter, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as a filter made of nickel-titanium alloy, a catheter sheath introducer, an angiographic vessel dilator, and a pusher. These are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter is a physical implant designed to be placed directly into the vena cava within the body. Its purpose is to physically prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a therapeutic intervention (preventing pulmonary embolism) by physically filtering blood within the body, not by analyzing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the filter and its delivery system, all of which are designed for internal placement and function.
  • Input Imaging Modality: While imaging (angiography) is used to guide the placement of the device, the device itself does not analyze the images or provide diagnostic information based on them. The imaging is a tool for the procedure.

Therefore, the Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Angiographic Vessel Dilator with an open end, and a Pusher with deployment marker. The Angiographic Vessel Dilator has side holes and 2 radiopaque markers, separated by 32mm (between the marker bands), that provide linear measurement of the inferior vena cava and assists in angiographic visualization when radiopaque contrast is delivered. The pusher advances the filter through the Catheter Sheath Introducer up to the deployment marker, and is then used to fix the filter in place during uncovering. The distal end of the Catheter Sheath Introducer can be controlled by rotating the entire device to position the Catheter Sheath Introducer in the center of the vena cava. The Filter Cartridge houses the Option™ ELITE Filter. The body of the Cartridge has text and colored arrows printed on it that identify assembly orientation; femoral is printed in green and jugular is printed in blue. The femoral orientation is used for the popliteal approach and the jugular orientation is used for the antecubital approach. The arrow of the desired access site will point into the Catheter Sheath Introducer hub. The Angiographic Vessel Dilator is designed to provide angiorraphic visualization and linear measurement of the vasculature when used in conjunction with the delivery of radiopaque contrast media to the vena cava.

Intended Use:

The Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter 100cm System is intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE) via placement in the vena cava in the following conditions:

  • Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated; ●
  • Failure of anticoagulant therapy in thromboembolic diseases;
  • . Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism when anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced;
  • . Chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism when anticoagulation therapy has failed or is contraindicated

The filter may be retrieved according to the instructions supplied in section entitled "Optional Procedure for Filter Retrieval" in patients who no longer require a filter. Retrieval of the filter can be performed only by jugular approach.

This is the same intended use as previously cleared for the Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter System (K133243).

Technological Characteristics:

The Option"10 ELITE Vena Cava Filter 100cm System is similar with regards to materials, intended use, principles of operation and technological characteristics to the predicate device. Results of bench testing demonstrate Option 11 ELITE Vena Cava Filter 100cm System is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device.

Modifications to Existing Technology:

The effective length of the Option™ ELITE Vena Cava Filter 100cm System has been increased from 70cm to 100cm to enable filter insertion through either the antecubital approach or popliteal vein. The vessel dilator, sheath introducer and pusher have increased functional lengths. All other kit components including the Option™ ELITE filter are identical to the predicate device. The system packaging has been modified to accommodate the longer system. Identical materials are used for the new packaging as compared to the predicate device.
