## Intended Use

Percuflex™ Ureteral Stent System and Percuflex™ Ureteral Stent System Kit: The Ureteral Stent is intended to provide drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder and stenting of the ureter for all patients in whom it is desirable to place a drain which does not externally. Percuflex™ Nephroureteral Stent System: The Percuffex Nephroureteral Stent is intended for use in Percutaneous Drainage to establish internal drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder while maintaining external access to the stent. Amplatz AnchorTM Catheter System: The Amplatz Anchor™ Catheter System is intended for use in applications of percutaneous drainage, particularly percutaneous nephrostomy, abscess or external biliary drainage.

## Device Story

Percuflex drainage catheters and stents facilitate internal or external drainage of the renal pelvis, ureter, or biliary system. Devices feature pigtail or locking Malecot designs to maintain position; some models include dissolving distal tips (Temp-Tip) to aid placement or hydrophilic coatings (Glidex) to reduce friction. Constructed from proprietary biocompatible Percuflex copolymer with radiopaque resin. Used in hospital settings by physicians; inserted percutaneously or via ureteral access. Stents remain indwelling for up to 90 days. Output is established drainage path; healthcare providers monitor patient status and drainage efficacy. Benefits include relief of obstruction, abscess drainage, and maintenance of ureteral patency.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included MR compatibility (ASTM F2182, F2052, F2119), material characterization (FTIR, DSC, TGA, OIT, DCA), mechanical design verification (tensile strength, kink resistance, column strength), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1 including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity, toxicity, genotoxicity, and muscle implantation).

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Proprietary biocompatible Percuflex copolymer, radiopaque resin. Features: Pigtail or locking Malecot designs, optional Glidex hydrophilic coating, Temp-Tip dissolving distal tip. Dimensions: 6F-12F OD, 20-30cm lengths. Sterilization: 100% ethylene oxide (EO) gas. Connectivity: None. MR compatibility: Passive implant.

## Regulatory Identification

A ureteral stent is a tube-like implanted device that is inserted into the ureter to provide ureteral rigidity and allow the passage of urine. The device may have finger-like protrusions or hooked ends to keep the tube in place. It is used in the treatment of ureteral injuries and ureteral obstruction.

### Name of Predicate Device

Medi-Tech Ureteral Stent System, Nephroureteral Stent System, Amplatz Anchor System with Locking Malecot (K924608. Cleared 26-Jan-1994)

Predicate devices referenced above have not been subject to a design-related recall.

### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Percuflex™ Ureteral Stent System and Percuflex™ Ureteral Stent System Kit is designed with the classic pigtail shape on each end and is intended to facilitate drainage internally from the renal pelvis to the bladder and stenting of the ureter without external access after placement. The ureteral stent systems contain a suture to adjust the pigtail shape or to remove the stent. These devices are constructed of a proprietary, biocompatible copolymer called Percuflex™ for patient comfort with a radiopaque resin throughout the catheter tube. Designated Percuflex™ Ureteral Stent Systems are also available with a proprietary Glidex™ hydrophilic material for the reduction of surface friction during placement or with a dissolving distal tip (Temp-Tip™). The dissolving tip internal diameter aids in placement, then dissolves soon after placement to allow a larger lumen for drainage.

The Percuflex™ Nephroureteral Stent System is also designed with the classic pigtail shape on each end and facilitates drainage from the internal ureteropelvic junction to the bladder with external access to the stent. The Nephroureteral Stent System also incorporates the Percuflex™ copolymer and a radiopaque resin throughout the catheter tube. Select models are available with a Temp-Tip™ which dissolves soon after placement. A suture is locked in place with a stopcock to retain the pigtail shape. A luer allows for connection to other drainage devices with a conical fitting.

The Amplatz Anchor™ Catheter System is designed with a unique locking Malecot diamond shape to facilitate percutaneous nephrostomy, abscess or external biliary drainage. The Amplatz Anchor™ Catheter Systems also incorporate the Percuflex™ copolymer and a radiopaque resin throughout the catheter tube. A suture is locked in place with a stopcock to retain the 2-winq design. A luer allows for connection to other drainage devices with a conical fitting.

### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

Predicate and subject device Intended use and Indications for Use are the same.

| PercuflexTM Drainage Catheters and<br>Stents                                   | Indications for Use                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| PercuflexTM Ureteral Stent System and<br>PercuflexTM Ureteral Stent System Kit | The Ureteral Stent is intended to provide drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder and stenting of the ureter for all patients in whom it is desirable to place a drain which does not extend externally. |
| PercuflexTM Nephroureteral Stent<br>System                                     | The Percuflex Nephroureteral Stent is intended for use in Percutaneous Drainage to establish internal drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder while maintaining external access to the stent.            |
| Amplatz AnchorTM Catheter System                                               | The Amplatz AnchorTM Catheter System is intended for use in applications of percutaneous drainage, particularly percutaneous nephrostomy, abscess or external biliary drainage.                                          |

### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Percuflex™ Drainage Catheters and Stents incorporate substantially equivalent design, function, packaging, sterilization process, materials, fundamental technology, indications for use, and operating principles as those featured in the predicate drainage devices (K924608). The difference from the legally marketed predicate device is the addition of Magnetic Resonance (MR) compatibility information to the Directions for Use.

Cumulative changes have been made to the devices internally through Boston Scientific's Design Control System, which meets the quality system requirements of 21 CFR Part 820. These changes include a resin additive material supplier change and tensile performance specification update.

The tensile performance specification update applies to the Percuflex™ TempTip™ Ureteral Stent System with Dissolving Tip and the Percuflex™ TempTip™ Locking Pigtail Nephroureteral Stent System with Dissolving Tip devices. This change updated the dissolving tip to catheter tensile strength performance specification.

#### VII. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING

In order to support the addition of Magnetic Resonance Compatibility information to the Directions for Use the following non clinical performance testing was performed:

- Radio Frequency Heating .
- Force Measurement ●
- Image Artifact .

FDA guidance Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment (December 11, 2014) and the following standards were used to guide the generation of the non-clinical data:

In order to support the cumulative changes that have been made to the devices internally through Boston Scientific's Design Control System, the following non clinical performance testing was performed:

- · Resin additive material supplier change
	- o A material evaluation consisted of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Oxidative Induction Time (OIT), and Dynamic Contact Angle (DCA) analysis was performed. Results demonstrated that both supplied resins present the same thermal transition characteristics, material type (chemistry), and composition.
	- o Design Verification testing including Catheter Shaft Tensile, Column Strength, Kink Resistance, Removal Force, and Renal Coil Resistance-Stent Shaft >5F was performed to assess these finished device properties.
	- · The following biocompatibility testing was performed per ISO 10993-1:
		- > Cytotoxicity
		- > Sensitization
		- > Intracutaneous irritation testing
		- > Material mediated pyrogenicity
		- > Acute systemic toxicity testing
		- > Genotoxicity testing Ames assay
		- > Genotoxicity testing MLA
		- > Muscle implantation 4-week study
		- Muscle implantation 13-week study A
		- > Toxicological Risk Assessment
- · Tensile performance specification update
	- o Design verification testing was conducted on aged and unaged samples to demonstrate the dissolving tip to shaft bond design output continues to meet the defined design input requirements after sterilization.

### · CONCLUSION

Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical performance data provided, the Percuflex™ Drainage Catheters and Stents are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K924608). The Directions for Use update with magnetic resonance compatibility information for the subject devices does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, and the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
