Device Description
The Penumbra Embolectomy Aspiration System (INDIGO™ Aspiration System) is intended for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the arterial and venous systems. The Aspiration Catheter and Separator are available in multiple configurations. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only. Additionally, a pre-packaged configuration (KIT packaging) for the Aspiration Catheters with Aspiration Tubing is available. Intended users for this device are physicians who have received appropriate training in interventional radiology. The INDIGO Aspiration System is designed to remove thrombus from the vasculature using continuous aspiration. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter targets aspiration from the pump directly to the thrombus. The INDIGO Separator may be used to clear the lumen of the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter should it become blocked with thrombus. The use of the INDIGO Separator may not be necessary when using an INDIGO Aspiration Catheter with an I.D. of 0.054in [1.37mm] or larger. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or long introducer sheath and into the peripheral vasculature and guided over a guidewire to the site of the primary occlusion. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used with the Aspiration Pump to aspirate thrombus from an occluded vessel. As needed, an INDIGO Separator may be deployed from the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter to assist with thrombus removal. The INDIGO Separator is advanced and retracted through the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter at the proximal margin of the primary occlusion to facilitate clearing of the thrombus from the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter tip. For the aspiration source, the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with the Aspiration Pump, which is connected using the INDIGO Aspiration Tubing and the INDIGO Pump/Canister Tubing. The INDIGO Separator is provided with an introducer and torque device. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is provided with a steam shaping mandrel and rotating hemostasis valve, and a peelable sheath. The INDIGO Separator is provided with an introducer and torque device. The devices are visible under fluoroscopy. The Penumbra Pump MAX is the aspiration source for the INDIGO Aspiration System. The Penumbra Pump MAX operates using AC power and is designed to be portable if needed. The Penumbra Pump MAX provides vacuum of up to 29 inHz. The pump is available in both 110Vac and 230Vac versions. The front face of the Penumbra Pump MAX has a display panel with a vacuum gauge, suction regulating valve, and power switch. The Penumbra Pump MAX connects to the canister reservoir with a tubing assembly (Penumbra Pump/Canister Tubing), which is provided as an accessory. The Penumbra Pump/Canister Tubing consists of a short tubing segment with an inline filter and connectors on each end to facilitate attachment to the pump's vacuum port. The tubing is provided pre-attached to the canister reservoir lid. The Penumbra Pump/Canister Tubing is provided non-sterile and is used outside the sterile field.
