Intended Use

The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters with aspiration are indicated for use as atherectomy devices for arterial stenoses, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), and to aspirate thrombus adjacent to stenoses in native and stented infra-inguinal arteries.

The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters without aspiration are indicated for use in the treatment, including atherectomy, of infra-inguinal stenoses and occlusions.

Device Description

The Auryon™ Atherectomy Catheters are single use catheters made of an array of optic fibers and surrounded by a circumferential blunt blade at its distal tip. The Auryon catheter is connected to the laser of the predicate device Auryon Atherectomy System via its connector and transmits energy at pre-set fluence levels of 50 and 60 ml/mm² to the occluded or narrowed artery. The Auryon™ Atherectomy Catheter must work over a commercially available 300cm 0.014" guide wire that crosses the lesion intra luminally. The new catheters which are the subject of this 510(k) include a hydrophilic coating on the external distal portion of the catheter shaft.

The predicate device Auryon Atherectomy Catheters are available in four sizes (0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.35mm, without hydrophilic coating. The subject device Auryon Atherectomy Catheters are available in the same four sizes (0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.35mm, but with a hydrophilic coating.

For the small size catheters (i.e., 0.9mm and 1.5mm), there is a designated lumen tube for a guidewire at the center of the inner blunt blade. The 0.9mm and 1.5mm catheters do not have an aspiration feature and have not been tested in ISR lesions.

The larger Auryon catheters (i.e., 2.0mm and 2.35mm) have an eccentric guidewire lumen, and include additional features consisting of an aspiration feature (both catheters) and an "off-center" feature 2.35mm only). The aspiration feature is intended for debris and thrombus collection and removal from the vessel during the atherectomy procedure. These devices are also indicated for treatment of In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) lesions.

The "off-center" feature is included in the 2.35 mm catheter only and is designed to facilitate debulking of lesions in blood vessels beyond the catheter's diameter.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the substantial equivalence of the Auryon™ Atherectomy System (with hydrophilic coating) to its predicate device (Auryon Atherectomy System without hydrophilic coating) and a reference device (Spectranetics Turbo-Elite Laser Atherectomy Catheters). The focus of the submission is the addition of a hydrophilic coating to the catheter shaft.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

TestAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from "same methods and acceptance criteria as predicate")Reported Device Performance (Implicit: Met acceptance criteria)
Catheter shaft ID, OD, working length, and length of hydrophilic coatingSame as or within specifications of predicate, with added hydrophilic coating length.Tested and found acceptable (implicitly, by stating "were tested using the same methods and acceptance criteria as was done in the predicate device 510(k)").
Catheter trackability in simulated anatomical shapeEquivalent to or better than predicate device.Tested and found acceptable.
Freedom from leakage during liquid infusion, and air leakage during aspiration (2.0 and 2.35mm sizes)No leakage.Tested and found acceptable.
Pull testing of catheter tip and catheter to handle jointsWithstand specified tensile forces without failure.Tested and found acceptable.
Freedom from exposed optical fibersNo exposed optical fibers.Tested and found acceptable.
Catheter torque testWithstand specified torque without damage or functional degradation.Tested and found acceptable.
Optical Functionality testProper optical transmission and energy delivery.Tested and found acceptable.
Coating CharacterizationHydrophilic properties as intended, equivalent to or better than reference device.Demonstrated similarity in formulation, performance, and intended purpose (reduction of friction) to reference device K170059.
Coating integrity and particulate generation after simulated useMaintain integrity and not generate excessive particulates.Tested and found acceptable.

Note: The document explicitly states, "The hydrophilic coated Auryon Atherectory Catheters were tested using the same methods and acceptance criteria as was done in the predicate device 510(k). In addition, coating performance was tested, with comparison to the performance of the reference device K170059." This implies that all listed tests met the established (but not explicitly detailed in this document) acceptance criteria that were used for the predicate device, and the coating performance was comparable to the reference.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not provide details on the specific sample sizes used for each test. It mentions "performance testing" and "additional testing" without quantifying the number of devices or units tested. There is no information regarding data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective data), as this is a premarket notification for a device, not a clinical study involving patient data. The tests described are bench and functional tests of the device itself.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable. The studies described are engineering and performance tests of the device, not clinical studies requiring expert interpretation of patient data to establish ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. The studies described are engineering and performance tests, not clinical evaluations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This submission focuses on the substantial equivalence of a medical device (atherectomy catheter) based on its physical and functional characteristics, particularly the addition of a hydrophilic coating, not on the comparative clinical effectiveness of an AI system with human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No, a standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was not done. The device in question is an atherectomy catheter, a physical medical instrument, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance testing was based on engineering specifications and established test methodologies from the predicate device and relevant industry standards. For coating performance, the ground truth involved comparison to the performance of a legally marketed reference device (Spectranetics Turbo-Elite Laser Atherectomy Catheters).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable, as there is no training set.

Auryon Atherectomy System Peripheral Atherectomy Catheter 21CFR870.4875 Intraluminal Artery Stripper Class 2 MCW Cardiovascular Devices

Purpose

The purpose of this 510(k) is to introduce into commercial distribution four new catheter item codes for use with the existing Auryon Atherectomy System which will have a hydrophilic coating on the external distal portion of the catheter shaft. The size range, intended purpose, and Indications for Use will be the same as the existing Auryon Atherectomy Catheters.

Device Description

The Auryon™ Atherectomy Catheters are single use catheters made of an array of optic fibers and surrounded by a circumferential blunt blade at its distal tip. The Auryon catheter is connected to the laser of the predicate device Auryon Atherectomy System via its connector and transmits energy at pre-set fluence levels of 50 and 60 ml/mm² to the occluded or narrowed artery. The Auryon™ Atherectomy Catheter must work over a commercially available 300cm 0.014" guide wire that crosses the lesion intra

luminally. The new catheters which are the subject of this 510(k) include a hydrophilic coating on the external distal portion of the catheter shaft.

The predicate device Auryon Atherectomy Catheters are available in four sizes (0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.35mm, without hydrophilic coating. The subject device Auryon Atherectomy Catheters are available in the same four sizes (0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.35mm, but with a hydrophilic coating.

For the small size catheters (i.e., 0.9mm and 1.5mm), there is a designated lumen tube for a guidewire at the center of the inner blunt blade. The 0.9mm and 1.5mm catheters do not have an aspiration feature and have not been tested in ISR lesions.

The larger Auryon catheters (i.e., 2.0mm and 2.35mm) have an eccentric guidewire lumen, and include additional features consisting of an aspiration feature (both catheters) and an "off-center" feature 2.35mm only). The aspiration feature is intended for debris and thrombus collection and removal from the vessel during the atherectomy procedure. These devices are also indicated for treatment of In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) lesions.

The "off-center" feature is included in the 2.35 mm catheter only and is designed to facilitate debulking of lesions in blood vessels beyond the catheter's diameter.

Indications for Use

The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters with aspiration are indicated for use as atherectomy devices for arterial stenoses, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), and to aspirate thrombus adjacent to stenoses in native and stented infra-inguinal arteries.

The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters without aspiration are indicated for use in the treatment, including atherectomy, of infra-inguinal stenoses and occlusions.

Comparison of Performance Data

The hydrophilic coated Auryon Atherectory Catheters were tested using the same methods and acceptance criteria as was done in the predicate device 510(k). In addition, coating performance was tested, with comparison to the performance of the reference device K170059. The specific tests are listed below

Summary of Performance Testing

Catheter shaft ID, OD, working length, and length of hydrophilic coating Catheter trackability in simulated anatomical shape Freedom from leakage during liquid infusion, and air leakage during aspiration (2.0 and 2.35mm sizes) Pull testing of catheter tip and catheter to handle joints Freedom from exposed optical fibers Catheter torque test Optical Functionality test Coating Characterization Coating integrity and particulate generation after simulated use

Substantial Equivalence

Assessment of the similarities and differences of the proposed hydrophilic coated Auryon Atherectomy Catheters and the predicate Auryon Atherectomy System and the reference device Spectranetics Turbo-Elite Laser Atherectomy Catheters concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent to one another; specifically:

  • . The proposed and predicate device have the identical ProCode, Regulation Number, Regulation Name, and Regulatory Class;
  • The proposed and predicate devices have the same Intended Use;
  • The proposed and reference device K221077 have the same Indications for Use;
  • The proposed and predicate devices incorporate the identical operating principle, mechanism of action, and are intended for the same patient populations; and,
  • The proposed and predicate catheters employ an identical overall design, essentially identical materials of manufacture, performance testing, sizes, and configurations.
  • The proposed device and the reference device K170059 employ hydrophilic coatings that are similar in formulation, performance, and intended purpose (reduction of friction).

The sum of these evaluations and determinations lead Eximo Medical Ltd. to conclude that substantial equivalence has been demonstrated, and that the existing data, and additional testing, have confirmed that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
