Intended Use
The Axium Prime Detachable Coil System is indicated for the endovascular embolization of intracranial anewrysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Axium Prime Detachable Coils are also indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Axium™ Prime Detachable Coil System consists of a platinum/tungsten embolization coil attached to a composite implant delivery pusher with a radiopaque positioning marker and a hand-held Axium™ I.D. (Instant Detacher) which, when activated, detaches the coil from the delivery pusher tip. The Axium™ I.D. (Instant Detacher) is sold separately. This submission expands Axium™ Detachable Coil (subject device) family by adding forty-four (44) new model numbers to the currently cleared Axium product portfolio (predicate device). These new model numbers come in the 3D configuration only and are a line extension of the currently sold predicate device, ranging in size from 3mm diameter x 6cm length to 25mm diameter x 50cm length. All forty-four (44) new SKUs fall within the currently cleared Axium size range of 1mm diameter x 1cm length to 25mm diameter x 50cm length. The subject device was modified to change the 3D loop configuration from a 4-loop configuration to a 6-loop configuration and to slightly increase the primary wire diameter size for the 7 - 10mm and the 12 - 25mm size coils. All other aspects of the subject device design (materials of construction of the implant coil, principles of operation, packaging, labeling and indications for use) are identical to the predicate device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (embolization coil system) and its modifications. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML. The performance studies are bench tests of physical properties.

Yes
The device is indicated for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is an embolization coil system used for the treatment of existing neurovascular abnormalities, not for determining the presence or nature of a disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like platinum/tungsten coils, a composite implant delivery pusher, and a hand-held detacher, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, as well as arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature. This is a therapeutic procedure performed within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (a coil) delivered into the body to block blood flow.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are typically used to test blood, urine, tissue, or other samples.

Therefore, the Axium Prime Detachable Coil System is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

In addition, there is no change in the indications for use or the fundamental scientific technology of the device that would require any additional testing.

Conclusion: The forty-four (44) new Axium™ Prime Detachable Coil System models are substantially equivalent to the currently cleared AxiumTM Detachable Coil System based on the successful completion of nonclinical testing; a thorough assessment of existing test data; as well as identical materials of coil implant construction, principles of operation, packaging and indications for use. The subject device has a similar safety profile and a similar effectiveness profile when compared to the predicate device.

Device Description:

The Axium™ Prime Detachable Coil System consists of a platinum/tungsten embolization coil attached to a composite implant delivery pusher with a radiopaque positioning marker and a hand-held Axium™ I.D. (Instant Detacher) which, when activated, detaches the coil from the delivery pusher tip. The Axium™ I.D. (Instant Detacher) is sold separately.

This submission expands Axium™ Detachable Coil (subject device) family by adding forty-four (44) new model numbers to the currently cleared Axium product portfolio (predicate device). These new model numbers come in the 3D configuration only and are a line extension of the currently sold predicate device, ranging in size from 3mm diameter x 6cm length to 25mm diameter x 50cm length. All forty-four (44) new SKUs fall within the currently cleared Axium size range of 1mm diameter x 1cm length to 25mm diameter x 50cm length.

5

The subject device was modified to change the 3D loop configuration from a 4-loop configuration to a 6-loop configuration and to slightly increase the primary wire diameter size for the 7 - 10mm and the 12 - 25mm size coils.

All other aspects of the subject device design (materials of construction of the implant coil, principles of operation, packaging, labeling and indications for use) are identical to the predicate device.

Indications for Use:

The Axium Prime Detachable Coil System is indicated for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities, such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Axium Prime Detachable Coils are also indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.

Sterilization and Shelf Life

The subject device was adopted into the EO sterilization cycle originally cleared under K060747 for the predicate device. The materials of construction of the subject device, packaging and overall manufacturing process are the same to the predicate device. EO residual, bioburden and pyrogen testing were adopted as well for these reasons.

Aging and packaging studies for the predicate device have established the product and packaging remain functional and maintain sterility for 3 years. Aging studies for packaging integrity (per ASTM F2096-11) and conditioning (ASTM-4169, ISTA-2A) and device functionality were adopted from the predicate device and met all acceptance criteria. The materials of implant coil construction, manufacturing process, and packaging of the new line extension models of the subject device are identical to the predicate device.
