Intended Use
The AtriClip™ LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures. Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other viewing technology. This includes procedures performed by sternotomy (full or partial) as well as thoracotomy (single or multiple).
Device Description
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable PRO-V Clip preloaded on a Single Use Clip Applier. When closed, the PRO·V Clip applies uniform pressure over the length of the clip to ensure consistent, reproducible, and secure occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). The PRO-V Clip is available in the following lengths to accommodate different sizes of LAA: 35 mm (PROV35), 40 mm (PROV40), 45 mm (PROV45), and 50 mm (PROV50). The PRO·V Clip Applier is a disposable device with a handle, shaft, suture anchors, and deployment loop which contains the PRO·V Clip.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical clip and applier system for surgical LAA occlusion, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.

Yes
The device is indicated for the occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, which is a structural intervention to treat a medical condition.

No
The device is described as an "LAA Exclusion System" indicated for the "occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage." Its purpose is to physically close off a part of the heart, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a physical, implantable clip and a disposable applier, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is an implantable device used to physically occlude the left atrial appendage during open heart surgery. It is a surgical tool and implant, not a device that analyzes biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage... in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The description focuses on the physical components of the device and its mechanical function in a surgical setting. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

  • . Cytotoxicity
  • . Sensitization
  • . Irritation
  • . Systemic Toxicity
  • Material Mediated Pvrogen .
  • . Genotoxicity

The PRO V Clip is categorized as an "Implant Device", contact for "Tissue/Bone" and permanent contact duration of "greater than 30 days". The PRO-V Clip Applier is categorized as an "External Communicating Device," contact for "Tissue/Bone" and contact duration for "under 24 hours."

VIII. Conclusions

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety and performance testing, the proposed AtriClip LAA Exclusion System with Preloaded Gillinov-Cosgrove PRO·V Clip has been shown to be appropriate for its intended use and is considered to be substantially equivalent to the AtriClip LAA Exclusion System (PRO1) previously cleared via 510(k) K122276 on August 29, 2012.
