Indications for Use
The Arrow Ultra 8 Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheter is indicated for use in any of the following conditions: a. Acute Coronary Syndrome b. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery c. Complications of Heart Failure
Device Story
Dual-lumen percutaneously inserted 8Fr intra-aortic balloon (IAB) catheter; features inflatable bladder connected to outer lumen and guidewire-compatible inner lumen. Operates by shuttling helium gas through outer lumen to inflate/deflate balloon in aorta; timed to inflate during diastolic relaxation and deflate during systolic contraction. Used in clinical settings (OR/ICU) by physicians to increase myocardial blood supply and reduce left ventricular workload. Output is mechanical circulatory support; provider monitors hemodynamic response to adjust therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-lumen 8Fr catheter; outer lumen for helium gas inflation/deflation; inner lumen for guidewire placement. Mechanical device; no software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, those undergoing cardiac or non-cardiac surgery, or patients experiencing complications of heart failure.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device; (ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed; (iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible; (iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components; (v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and (vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device. (2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation. (c) *Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
