Intended Use
The Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is intended to restore blood flow by removing thrombus from a large intracranial vessel in patients experiencing ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
Device Description
The subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is designed to restore blood flow in patients experiencing ischemic stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion. The Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is designed for use in the neurovasculature such as the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA), M1 and M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery, basilar, and the vertebral arteries. The distal nitinol portion of the Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device facilitates clot retrieval. The Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device has Platinum Iridium radiopaque markers on the working cell length, proximal and distal ends. The subject Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is a portfolio expansion to the predicate Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device (K153071).

4-40 Solitaire™ 2

No
The summary describes a mechanical revascularization device for clot retrieval and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to restore blood flow by removing thrombus from an intracranial vessel, which directly treats the ischemic stroke condition.

No

The device is described as a revascularization device intended to restore blood flow by removing thrombus, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device made of nitinol and platinum iridium, intended for mechanical clot retrieval. It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to restore blood flow by physically removing thrombus from a blood vessel within the body. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within a living organism).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed to be inserted into the neurovasculature to retrieve a clot. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly designed for use in vivo to treat a medical condition.

A clinical study was not performed for the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device. Confirmatory clinical data using the cleared 4x40 Solitaire devices (predicate 4-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum and reference 4-40 Solitaire™ 2) was leveraged to support substantial equivalence of the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device. Leveraging of the 4x40 Solitaire device confirmatory clinical data is appropriate as the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is within the existing ranges of the 4x40 Solitaire devices for device length, radial outward force and delivery / resheathing forces. The confirmatory 4x40 Solitaire clinical data was collected as part of the Systematic Evaluation of Patients TReated with Neurothrombectomy Devices for AcuTe IschemicStroke (STRATIS) Registry.

STRATIS Registry Design: A prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, observational registry evaluating the use of Covidien market-released neurothrombectomy devices in patients diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion. The study used an independent Clinical Events Committee for adverse event adjudication and an independent Core Lab for procedural image assessment.

Sample Size: Under the STRATIS Registry, 984 patients were enrolled that were treated with a Medtronic neurothrombectomy device at the discretion of treating physicians and as part of hospital standard practice at 55 sites within the United States. Of the 984 patients treated, a total of 296 were treated using only the cleared 4x40 device. Major patient eligible criteria for consent and enrollment into the Registry were to be treated with the Solitaire device within 8 hours of symptom onset.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

  • Non-clinical bench testing: Multiple tests were performed on the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device, including Total System Length, Marker-to-Marker Length, Delivery Force, Resheathing Force, Multiple Resheathing Durability, Body Finger Marker Coil Tensile, Radial Force, Radiopacity, Ease of Use (Fluorosafe Marker Location), and Particulate. All tests met acceptance criteria.
  • Non-clinical animal testing: Performed on the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device in an in-vivo Yorkshire cross swine model. Four of eight proposed target sites were evaluated, at 0-day (acute) and 30-day (chronic) time points. The testing was designed to show non-inferiority between the control 6-30 Solitaire™ 2 Revascularization Device and the test 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device, evaluating biological responses such as Luminal Thrombus, Endothelial Cell Coverage, Inflammation, Fibrin, Medial Smooth Muscle Cell (SMC) Loss, Disruption of the Internal Elastic Lamina (IEL) and External Elastic Lamina (EEL), Adventitia, Neointimal Hyperplasia, Elastic Fiber Separation, and Lumen Area Reduction.
  • Clinical Performance (leveraged data): Confirmatory clinical data leveraged from the STRATIS Registry 4x40 group (n=296) included baseline demographics, safety data, and performance data.
    • Baseline Demographics: Age (years) 66.4 ± 15.2 (296), NIHSS at baseline 16.8 ± 5.5 (296), Male Gender 51.4% (152/296).
    • Safety Data: Symptomatic ICH 2.8% (7/252), Mortality at 90 days 16.2% (48/296), Study Device-Related SAEs 0.3% (1/296) - specifically, Subarachnoid hemorrhage.
    • Performance Data: Successful revascularization (TICI 2b-3) 90.4% (227/251), Functional Independence (mRS 0-2) at 90 days 60.3% (167/277).
  • Key Results: Non-clinical bench, animal testing and the confirmatory clinical data demonstrated that the subject 6-40-10 Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Solitaire™ Platinum Revascularization Device (K153071) and does not raise new questions of the safety and effectiveness of the device.
