Intended Use
INDIGO Aspiration Catheters and Separators: As part of the INDIGO Aspiration System, the INDIGO Aspiration Catheters and Separators are indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral and venous systems. INDIGO Aspiration Tubing: As part of the INDIGO Aspiration System, the INDIGO Sterile Aspiration Tubing is indicated to connect the INDIGO Aspiration Catheters to the Penumbra Aspiration Pump. Penumbra Aspiration Pump: The Penumbra Aspiration Pump is indicated as a vacuum source for Penumbra Aspiration Systems.
Device Description
The Indigo Aspiration System is intended for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems. The Aspiration Catheter, Separator and Aspiration Tubing are available in multiple configurations. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only. Intended users for this device are physicians who have received appropriate training in interventional techniques. The INDIGO® Aspiration System is comprised of several devices: - INDIGO Aspiration Catheter . - Penumbra Aspiration Pump . - INDIGO Aspiration Pump Canister ● - INDIGO Aspiration Tubing ● - INDIGO Separator™ ● The INDIGO Aspiration System is designed to remove thrombus from the vasculature using mechanical 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 INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or vascular sheath into the peripheral vasculature and guided over a guidewire to the site of the primary occlusion. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used with the Penumbra 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. The devices are visible under fluoroscopy. For the aspiration source. the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump, which is connected using the INDIGO Aspiration Tubing and the INDIGO Aspiration Pump Canister. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter may be provided with a steam shaping mandrel, rotating hemostasis valve, and introducer. The INDIGO Separator may be provided with an introducer and torque device.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical aspiration and physical components, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is clearly indicated for the "removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi," which is a direct treatment of a medical condition.

No

The device is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. While fluoroscopy is mentioned, it is for guiding the device, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including catheters, a pump, tubing, and a canister. The performance studies also focus on the physical and mechanical properties of these hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The device is indicated for the removal of emboli and thrombi from vessels. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system designed for mechanical aspiration within the vasculature. This is an invasive procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on samples. It is used to physically remove material from within the body.

The device is clearly intended for a therapeutic, interventional procedure, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

1.8 Device Description

The Indigo Aspiration System is intended for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems. The Aspiration Catheter, Separator and Aspiration Tubing are available in multiple configurations. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use only. Intended users for this device are physicians who have received appropriate training in interventional techniques.

The INDIGO® Aspiration System is comprised of several devices:

  • INDIGO Aspiration Catheter .
  • Penumbra Aspiration Pump .
  • INDIGO Aspiration Pump Canister ●
  • INDIGO Aspiration Tubing ●
  • INDIGO Separator™ ●

The INDIGO Aspiration System is designed to remove thrombus from the vasculature using mechanical 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 INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or vascular sheath into the peripheral vasculature and guided over a guidewire to the site of the primary occlusion. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used with the Penumbra 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. The devices are visible under fluoroscopy. For the aspiration source. the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump, which is connected using the INDIGO Aspiration Tubing and

7

the INDIGO Aspiration Pump Canister. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter may be provided with a steam shaping mandrel, rotating hemostasis valve, and introducer. The INDIGO Separator may be provided with an introducer and torque device.
