Intended Use
The Phoenix Atherectomy System is in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The system is not intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac, or renal vasculature.
Device Description
The Phoenix Atherectomy System is a sterile, single-use device designed for atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The Phoenix Atherectomy System has two main components: the Phoenix Catheter and the Phoenix Handle. The Phoenix Catheter is a flexible, over-the-wire (OTW), front-cutting Catheter that continuously captures and clears debulked plaque proximally through the Catheter and Handle into a collection reservoir that resides outside the patient. For use, the Phoenix Catheter is inserted into the Phoenix Handle. The Handle incorporates a self-contained battery-powered motor designed to drive and rotate the cutter of the Phoenix Atherectomy Catheter at its specified rotational speed. The device is activated by an ON/OFF slider switch on the top of the Handle. A Wire Support Clip is used to hold the guidewire in a fixed position relative to the Handle and prevent guidewire rotation during the procedure. The Catheter, Handle, and Wire Support Clip are packaged as sterile, single-use components of the Phoenix Atherectomy System. There are multiple models of the Phoenix Catheter. The Phoenix Tracking Catheter models track directly over the guidewire with no tip deflection capability. The currently marketed models available for clinical use are 1.8mm, 2.2mm, and 2.4mm tip diameter sizes. The controls for rotation are housed in the Phoenix Handle when the Catheter is inserted into the Handle. All Phoenix Catheter models are compatible with commercially available 0.014" exchange length (260 cm or greater) guidewires, and all use the same Phoenix Handle. The subject 510(k) submission is proposed to introduce the following modifications: (i) the predicate 2.2 mm X 130cm Phoenix Deflecting Catheter is being modified to add a new model with a 2.4mm distal cutter assembly to enable debulking to a larger lumen diameter. The 2.4 mm distal cutter assembly is equivalent in design to the currently marketed 2.4mm X 127cm Phoenix Deflecting Catheter. (ii) the predicate 1.8 mm X 149cm Phoenix Tracking Catheter is being modified to add a 1.5mm tip diameter X 149cm Phoenix Tracking Catheter model to the Phoenix Catheter product family.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and modifications to existing catheter sizes. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data for decision-making or control.

Yes
The device is designed for atherectomy, which is a medical procedure to remove plaque from blood vessels to restore blood flow. This direct medical intervention to treat a patient's condition qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an atherectomy system designed for the removal of plaque from the peripheral vasculature, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, handle, battery-powered motor, and a collection reservoir, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with potential software control elements, but 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 "atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the patient's body) to remove plaque from blood vessels.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical system (catheter, handle, motor, cutter) designed to physically interact with and remove material from within the patient's blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose diseases, monitor conditions, or screen for health issues. The Phoenix Atherectomy System is a therapeutic device used to treat a condition directly within the body.

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

To demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the modified Phoenix Atherectomy System to the predicate Phoenix Atherectomy System, the performance and technological characteristics were evaluated by completion of the following testing:

  • Dimensional and Visual Inspection .
  • . Simulated Use
  • Cutter Torque Chain Torque-to-Failure Test ●
  • . Functional Outer Shaft Torque Test
  • Knob to Shaft Testing ●
  • . Catheter Drive Train Stress Test
  • Cutter Stall Test
  • Embolic Profile Test .
  • Temperature Rise of Catheter During Simulated Use ●
  • . Kink Bend Radius Test
  • Catheter Trackability in Below-the-Knee Anatomy ●
  • Large Vessel Debulking Diameter (2.4mm X 130cm Deflecting) ●
  • Packaging and Shelf Life .

The results from this testing demonstrate that the performance and technological characteristics of the modified Phoenix Atherectomy System meet pre-defined acceptance criteria for the design requirements and that the modified Phoenix Atherectomy System performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate Phoenix Atherectomy System with the identical intended use.
