Device Description
The Symphony™ Thrombectomy System is comprised of several devices: - 24F Symphony Catheter - 24F Symphony Standard Dilator - 24F Symphony Advance™ Long Dilator - 24F Symphony ProHelix™ - 16F Symphony Catheter - 16F Symphony Dilator - 16F Symphony ProHelix™ - Symphony Clot Container - TRUVIC Generator - TRUVIC Canister - TRUVIC Tubeset The Symphony™ 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System is comprised of several devices: - 16F 82cm Symphony Catheter - 16F 82cm Symphony Length Matched Dilator - Symphony Clot Container - TRUVIC Generator - TRUVIC Canister - TRUVIC Tubeset Both Systems are designed to remove thrombus/embolus (also referred to as 'clot') from the peripheral vasculature using controlled aspiration. The Symphony Catheter targets aspiration from the TRUVIC Generator directly to the thrombus. The Symphony ProHelix may be used to facilitate aspiration and removal of the thrombus through the 16F Symphony Catheter or through the 24F Symphony Catheter. The Symphony ProHelix is not used with the 16F 82cm Symphony Catheter. The Symphony Catheters and Symphony Dilators are introduced through a vascular access sheath into the peripheral vasculature and guided over a guidewire to the site of the thrombus. The Symphony Catheter is used with the TRUVIC Generator, connected using the TRUVIC Tubeset and the TRUVIC Canister, to aspirate thrombus. As needed, the Symphony ProHelix may be introduced through a Symphony 16F Catheter or a Symphony 24F Catheter to assist with thrombus removal. The Symphony ProHelix is not used with the 16F 82cm Symphony Catheter. The Symphony ProHelix is manually advanced through the Symphony Catheter over a guidewire, remaining inside the Symphony Catheter during the procedure. During aspiration, the handle on the proximal end of the Symphony ProHelix is manually rotated, which rotates the tip of the Symphony ProHelix to facilitate thrombus removal through the Symphony Catheter. The tips of the devices are visible under fluoroscopy.
More Information

Not Found

No.

The document describes a mechanical thrombectomy system that uses controlled aspiration and manual rotation for clot removal. There is no mention of AI, machine learning, or any computational models for decision-making, analysis, or control within the device's operation. The performance studies are entirely bench and laboratory tests focused on physical characteristics and durability.

Yes

The device's intended use is for the non-surgical removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from blood vessels, which directly treats a medical condition (peripheral vascular obstruction caused by clots).

No

The primary purpose of the Symphony Thrombectomy System is the "non-surgical removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from blood vessels" and "injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids." These are therapeutic or interventional actions, not diagnostic ones. While it mentions the tips of the devices are visible under fluoroscopy, this is for guidance during the procedure, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device is a system comprised of several hardware components including catheters, dilators, a clot container, a generator, a canister, and tubesets. These are physical devices designed for mechanical intervention, not a software application. While there may be software involved in the TRUVIC Generator (though not explicitly stated), the core device is a physical system for thrombectomy.

No.
The device is for physical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels and for injection/aspiration of fluids; it does not perform in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body.

The in-vitro bench tests demonstrated that the subject Symphony Thrombectomy System and the subject Symphony 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System met all acceptance criteria. Performance data demonstrate that the subject devices function as intended and the changes do not raise any new questions of safety and/or effectiveness.

Page 10

K250775
Page 6 of 7

H. Biocompatibility

Testing was performed to assess biocompatibility of the subject Symphony Thrombectomy System and Symphony 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System patient-contacting components. The following tests were successfully performed:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Hemocompatibility
  • FTIR
  • SEM Analysis

Adherence to the test methodologies and standards was maintained in all biocompatibility testing described. Each of the biocompatibility tests defined above passed. There was no evidence of cytotoxicity. Testing found samples to be non-cytotoxic and non-hemolytic. All testing was conducted in compliance with GLP regulations, 21 CFR Part 58.

I. Sterilization

The Symphony Thrombectomy System and the Symphony 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System are sterilized using a validated Ethylene Oxide process with a sterility assurance level of 1x10⁻⁶ validated per the overkill method in accordance with ISO 11135, "Sterilization of Health-Care Products - Ethylene Oxide - Requirements For The Development, Validation And Routine Control Of A Sterilization Process For Medical Devices".

J. Shelf Life and Packaging:

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. Verification testing of the subject devices followed the same test methods as the predicate device.

Packaging and sterile barrier integrity through transportation has been verified for the packaging configurations used for the subject devices. Aging testing has also been performed that supports the sterile barrier integrity following aging.

K. Conclusion:

Where differences were identified between the subject and predicate devices, a risk assessment was completed to determine if the differences would result in new questions of safety or effectiveness. As appropriate, previous bench and laboratory testing was evaluated for

Page 11

K250775
Page 7 of 7

applicability and either the rationale for no impact was documented or verification was repeated as required.

Based on the results of the risk assessments and associated bench and laboratory testing, the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent and there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness. The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use (except for the trade names), basic technological characteristics such as components, design, materials, sterilization method, and operating principles as the predicate device. Performance data demonstrates that the device functions as intended.

Therefore, the subject Symphony Thrombectomy System and subject Symphony 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System are both substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
