Intended Use

The ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters, with the ZOOM Aspiration Tubing and ZOOM Aspiration Pump (or equivalent vacuum pump), are indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) 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.

The ZOOM Aspiration Tubing is intended to connect the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter of the ZOOM Aspiration Pump and to allow the user to control the fluid flow.

Device Description

The ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter is a single lumen, braid and coil reinforced, variable stiffness catheter that facilitates removal of thrombus/clot from the neurovasculature when connected to a vacuum source, such as the ZOOM Aspiration Pump, using the ZOOM Aspiration Tubing.

The ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter is offered in various working lengths and nominal inner diameters (ID) and outer diameters (OD) as shown in Table 1 below.

The ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter is comprised of a hollow cylindrical tube which is bonded to a standard luer fitting. The wall of the tube is constructed using a combination of metal coils/braids and medical grade polymers.

The distal section of the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter has a hydrophilic coating to enhance tracking through the vasculature. The beveled distal tip allows for atraumatic tracking past vessel branches during insertion. A radiopaque marker provides the user with visual confirmation of the distal tip location under fluoroscopy.

The ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter is packaged with an accessory Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV). The RHV is designed to be attached to the proximal luer of the catheter and helps the user maintain hemostasis.

The ZOOM Aspiration Tubing is offered in one model with the features indicated in Table 2.

The ZOOM Reperfusion Tubing is comprised of a hollow cylindrical tube which is bonded to a standard luer fitting that connects to the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and a slip fit connector that connects to the canister on the aspiration pump. The ZOOM Aspiration tubing is made of common medical grade polymers.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance data for the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters and ZOOM Aspiration Tubing (Gen 2), comparing it to a predicate device (Gen 1). However, it does not include information about AI/algorithm-specific acceptance criteria or studies. The documentation focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previous version of the same medical device through bench and lab testing, biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf-life testing.

Therefore, many of the requested sections related to AI/algorithm performance (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this document.

Here's the information that can be extracted:

Table 5: Tests and Performance Specifications for ZOOM Aspiration Tubing

In addition to the above tests which support that the Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and Aspiration Tubing perform as intended when used with the ZOOM Aspiration Pump, general performance testing was also completed for the accessory ZOOM Aspiration Pump as documented in 510(k) K190105.

H. Biocompatibility Testing:

While there are no new patient contacting materials for the Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters, a subset of supporting biocompatibility testing was completed per Imperative Care's risk management and change control procedures to confirm that the Gen 2 design and manufacturing updates did not result in any significant changes to the biocompatibility of the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters.

The changes made to the Gen 2 ZOOM Aspiration Tubing were also reviewed and it was determined that no new biocompatibility testing was necessary to implement these changes as the aspiration tubing is non-patient contacting and there were no manufacturing process updates associated with the changes that were made.

The test results for the Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter were compared against the test results for the Gen 1 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter, as summarized below in Table 6 and no significant differences were noted that would negatively impact the biocompatibility of the Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters.

Shelf Life and Packaging: J.

Accelerated aging testing based on ASTM F1980 was conducted to verify device, accessory, and packaging performance. A minimum shelf life was established based on this testing and is indicated by the expiration date provided on the product labeling.

Device and accessory performance was verified by repeating the functional tests previously presented in Section G of this 510(k) summary.

Packaging and sterile barrier integrity through transportation has been verified for the packaging configurations used for the ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and ZOOM Aspiration Tubing. Aging testing has also been performed that supports the sterile barrier integrity following aging. A summary of the completed packaging tests is presented below in Tables 9 and 10.

K. Conclusions:

Where differences were identified between the subject Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and Aspiration Tubing and the predicate Gen 1 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and Aspiration Tubing, a risk assessment was completed to determine if the difference would result in new safety or effectiveness concerns regarding the use of the device. As appropriate, bench and lab testing were conducted to support this assessment.

Based on the results of the completed risk assessments and associated testing, it is concluded that the subject Gen 2 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and Aspiration Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate Gen 1 ZOOM Reperfusion Catheter and Aspiration Tubing and that there are no new safety or effectiveness concerns associated with the identified differences. This conclusion is supported by the subject and predicate devices sharing the same intended use, basic technology characteristics, and equivalent performance characteristics, as confirmed through well-designed bench and lab testing.
