Indications for Use

The Proxis System is indicated for use as a proximal embolic protection system to prevent distal release of and to aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) in saphenous vein coronary bypass graft(s) (3.0 mm -- 5.0 mm) during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting procedures. The Proxis System is also indicated to control the flow of fluids in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. The safety and effectiveness of this device as an embolic protection system has not been established in the cerebral, carotid or peripheral vasculature; native coronary arteries; or for treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Device Story

Proxis System is a proximal embolic protection device used during percutaneous coronary interventions. It consists of an evacuation sheath catheter, inflation device, aspiration syringe, lip seal, and strainer basket. The device is tracked over a guidewire to a position proximal to the lesion. A sealing balloon is inflated to stop antegrade flow, creating a stagnant flow environment; this prevents distal embolization during lesion treatment. After intervention, the device aspirates fluid and embolic debris from the vessel. An optional infusion catheter may deliver saline to the site during aspiration. Used by interventional cardiologists in a clinical setting (e.g., cath lab). The device provides proximal occlusion, differing from distal protection systems. It benefits patients by reducing the risk of distal emboli release during graft procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Proximal Trial: prospective, randomized, multi-center study (n=594 analyzed). Compared Proxis System (test) vs. distal protection devices (control). Primary endpoint: MACE. Intent-to-treat MACE: 9.2% (Proxis) vs 10.0% (Control), p=0.006 for non-inferiority. Per-protocol MACE: 7.1% (Proxis) vs 10.2% (Control), p=0.001. As-treated MACE: 7.1% (Proxis) vs 11.7% (Control), p<0.001. Results demonstrate non-inferiority to distal protection systems.

Technological Characteristics

Proximal embolic protection system. Components: Evacuation sheath catheter (over-the-wire), CO2-actuated inflation device, aspiration syringe, lip seal, strainer basket. Compatible with 7F+ guide catheters. Provides proximal vessel occlusion via balloon inflation. Non-clinical testing included biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf-life validation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or stenting in saphenous vein coronary bypass grafts (3.0-5.0 mm). Contraindicated for use in cerebral, carotid, or peripheral vasculature, native coronary arteries, or patients with acute myocardial infarction.

### PREDICATE DEVICE INFORMATION 1.2.1.

The Proxis System included in this 510k submission is a modification to the current Proxis System by implementing three primary design changes and an expansion of indications to allow for use as an embolic protection system.

This Proxis System is physically identical to the predicate Proxis System, which is market cleared for a Flow Control indication (K042117) with the exception of three primary design modifications. The three primary changes include: Proxis catheter type changed from 'rapid-exchange' type to an 'over-the-wire' type., inflation device change from syringe type w/saline to pushbutton type w/CO2 and the backend configuration changed from a double Y-adaptor to a single Y-adaptor. The Proxis System is similar in function and intended use to market cleared predicate embolic protection systems: the FilterWire (K023691), GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System

#### 1.2.2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Proxis System is a proximal embolic protection system used in conjunction with other interventional devices. The Proxis System protects the patient from distal embolization by preventing antegrade flow of emboli release during an interventional procedure and then removing it from the vessel. The Proxis System consists of an Evacuation Sheath Catheter compatible with 7F or larger guide catheters, Inflation device, Aspiration syringe, Lip Seal and Strainer basket. In addition, an optional accessory called the Proxis Infusion Catheter (packaged separately, K023548) may be used with Proxis System.

The Proxis catheter is loaded onto the guide wire and tracked down to the distal portion of the guide catheter and proximal to the lesion site. To minimize the occlusion time, the interventional devices are advanced through the Proxis catheter and positioned near the distal tip. When the sealing balloon is inflated, antegrade flow of the fluid in the target vessel is prevented. To minimize the release of embolic material, stagnation of flow is accomplished before any devices touch or cross- the lesion(s).

In the stagnant flow, the guide wire is advanced across the lesion site and the interventional device is tracked over the guide wire. After the treatment, fluid and particles from the procedure are evacuated using the aspiration syringe. If there is insufficient venous or collateral flow, the Proxis Infusion Catheter (optional accessory) may be used to deliver saline distal to the treatment site while simultaneously applying vacuum to evacuate fluid and particles from the treatment site.

### 1.2.3. INTENDED USE

The Proxis System is indicated for use as a proximal embolic protection system to prevent distal release of and to aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) in saphenous vein coronary bypass graft(s) (3.0 mm -- 5.0 mm) during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or stenting procedures.

The Proxis System is also indicated to control the flow of fluids in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

The safety and effectiveness of this device as an embolic protection system has not been established in the cerebral, carotid or peripheral vasculature; native coronary arteries; or for treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

{2}------------------------------------------------

#### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.2.4.

The Proxis device is physically the same Proxis device that was cleared under the flow-control indication (K042117) with the exception of three primary design modifications. The three primary changes include: Proxis catheter type ('over-the-wire' vs. 'rapid-exchange'), inflation device (pushbutton type w/CO2 vs. syringe type w/saline) and the backend configuration (single Y-adaptor vs. double Y-adaptor). The other difference is an expansion of the indications for embolic protection. The embolic protection expansion is supported by clinical data from the Proximal Trial that demonstrates substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices that have similar indications, i.e. FiiterWire EX Embolic Protection System (K023691) and PercuSurge GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System (K013913) and the Kensey Nash TriActiv (K042040). The primary difference in technologies to the predicate devices is that the Proxis System provides proximal occlusion vs. distal occlusion.

## SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING 1.3.

Non-clinical verification and validation of the Proxis System was performed through extensive in vitro bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and sterilization, shelf life testing and in vivo animal studies. Results of the testing demonstrated that the Proxis System design met all specifications and intended uses.

#### SUMMARY OF CLINICAL DATA 1.4.

The modifications to the Proxis System do not impact the therapeutic aspect of the Proxis Embolic Protection System. As such, a physician evaluation (20 patients) was performed to evaluate the usability aspects of the modified Proxis System as compared to the current Proxis System. In addition, the Proximal Trial was performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the current Proxis System for embolic protection during percutaneous treatment of saphenous vein graft (SVG) stenosis. The study consisted of a test arm (Proxis Embolic Protection System + current practice) and a control arm (current practice with market cleared distal protection devices, FilterWire and GuardWire). Six-hundred (600) randomized patients, with 117 additional roll-in and 5 educational patients were enrolled in 68 investigational sites in Canada, Europe and the United States. Five-hundred ninety-four (594) randomized patients were included in the analysis. The following conclusions resulted from the study:
