Indications for Use
The MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) is intended for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms that are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be at very high risk for management by traditional operative techniques because of their morphology, their location or the patient's general medical condition, or are inoperable.
Device Story
MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) consists of platinum alloy embolization coils (complex or helical shapes) attached to a delivery pusher. Used by neurosurgeons in clinical settings for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Operation involves navigating the coil to the aneurysm site via microcatheter; detachment is triggered by applying pressure force using radiographic contrast media at the proximal end of the delivery pusher. Once detached, the pusher is removed and discarded. The device provides a minimally invasive alternative to traditional operative techniques for high-risk or inoperable patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and animal clinical simulation were performed. Testing included tensile strength, coil detachment, and biocompatibility. No human clinical trial data was required or presented for this 510(k) submission.
Technological Characteristics
Platinum alloy wire wound into primary coils, then formed into secondary complex or helical shapes. Detachment mechanism: hydraulic pressure via delivery pusher. Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified. Software: none.
Indications for Use
Indicated for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms in patients considered high-risk for traditional surgery due to aneurysm morphology, location, or general medical condition, or who are deemed inoperable.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).

## 4. A description of the device that is the subject of the 510(k), including explanation of how the device functions, basic scientific concepts, significant physical and performance characteristics (design, material, physical properties):
The MicroVention MicroPlex Coils are available in two versions: (1) Complex-shaped configurations, and (2) helically-shaped coil configurations of various diameters and dimensions. These embolization coils are fabricated from a platinum alloy wire, which is first wound into a primary coil, and then formed into the secondary complex or helical shape.
The MicroPlex Coils are provided attached to a Delivery Pusher. The MicroPlex Coil is detached from the Delivery Pusher by applying pressure force, with radiographic contrast media, at the proximal end of the Delivery Pusher. Once the embolization coil is detached, the Delivery Pusher is then removed from the microcatheter and discarded.
#### 5. Statement of intended use:
The MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) is intended for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms that are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be at very high risk for management by traditional operative techniques because of their morphology, their location or the patient's general medical condition, or are inoperable.

### Statement of how the technological characteristics of the device compare to 6. those of the predicate or legally marketed device.
The MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) has the same technological characteristics as the predicate Micrus Corporation and BSC Target Therapeutics GDC coils. Both the materials of fabrication and the configuration of the coils are the same or very similar, with both the MicroVention and the predicate devices available in a variety of diameters and lengths to allow treatment of a variety of aneurysm sizes. Coil delivery is also similarly accomplished for the MicroVention MCS and for the predicate devices. The MicroVention MCS differs from the predicate devices with regard to the method used for coil detachment. Detachment of the MCS is effected by means of a detachment control syringe, which creates pressure at the proximal end of the Delivery Pusher. In contrast, the Micrus embolization coil is detached by heat-initiated shearing of a polyethylene fiber, and the Target Therapeutics GDC coils are released by means of electrolytic corrosion of a positioning wire near the junction of the coil.
#### Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results: 7.
The non-clinical tests performed on the MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) were based upon the intended use of the device, the performance of the predicate devices (GDC and Micrus) and an analysis of the failures of the predicate device (as based upon a review of applicable MDR reports). This testing included tensile strength, coil detachment, biocompatibility, and clinical simulation testing in animals.
This extensive body of testing has demonstrated that the MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System has performance substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices, the Micrus Microcoil Delivery System and the Boston Scientific Target Therapeutics GDC system.
