Intended Use

The Optima Coil System is intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The Optima Coil System is also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.

Device Description

The Optima Coil System is a series of specialized coils that are inserted into the vasculature under angiographic visualization to embolize intracranial aneurysms and other vascular anomalies. The system consists of an embolization coil implant comprised of platinum and tungsten, affixed to a delivery pusher to facilitate insertion into the hub of a microcatheter. The system is available in various shapes, lengths, and sizes. The devices are to be placed into aneurysms to create blood stasis, reducing flow into the aneurysm and thrombosing the aneurysm. Upon positioning coils into the aneurysm, the coils are detached from the delivery pusher in a serial manner until the aneurysm is occluded.

The modified Optima Packing Coil System and the predicate OptiBlock Coil System differ in the following:

  • Implementation of an updated implant design of a combination of secondary shapes with features designed to reduce resistance and improve the navigability of the coil system through tortuous or narrow vessels, as well as grab and anchor into the vessel wall or into a previously packed coil.

The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Performance Data – Bench:

The following non-clinical bench testing was performed to evaluate the device changes and to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the modified Optima Packing Coil System to the predicate device:

TestAcceptance CriteriaResults
Visual Inspection, Dimensional Inspection, and Resistance CheckThe test samples shall meet established test acceptance criteria for visual physical damage, secondary diameter and length, and resistance.Pass
Simulated UseThe test samples shall be prepared in accordance with the instructions for use and meet established test acceptance criteria for device performance in a clinically relevant model.Pass

Conclusion:

There is no change to the intended use, materials, principles of operation or performance requirements of the modified Optima Coil System (Optima Packing Line Extension) in comparison to the predicate device (K242582). The successful completion of non-clinical bench testing demonstrates that the modified Optima Coil System (Optima Packing Line Extension) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
