# Device Description
Aspire MAX 5 Aspiration Catheter (MAX 5 Aspiration Catheter and Aspire Aspirator) Aspire MAX 6 Aspiration Catheter (MAX 6 Aspiration Catheter and Aspire Aspirator) Aspire Aspirator 30ml
An Aspire MAX Aspiration Catheter includes (1) Aspire MAX 6 Aspiration Catheter and (1) Aspirator 30ml. Aspire MAX Aspiration Catheters and MAX Aspiration Catheters are single-use, sterile, short-term use, and non-pyrogenic medical devices designed for use with manually operated piston svringes to remove fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from the peripheral and coronary vasculature. The Aspire MAX Aspiration Catheter operating and scientific principle is the same as predicate devices. The catheter is inserted into the body over a guidewire and through a sheath or guide catheter to the target anatomy. A piston syringe is then connected to the catheter and the aspiration is manually created with the piston syringe.
Similar to predicate devices, industry standard intravascular catheter components and materials are used:
- Clear proximal polycarbonate female luer lock, -
- -Stainless steel braid,
- Clear Pebax and Vestamid Shafts, -
- -Embedded platinum iridium radiopaque marker,
- Clear polycarbonate barrel piston syringe. -
Aspire MAX Aspiration Catheters do not add any new materials, manufacturing processes, colorants, or dyes to the manufacturing process.
Same as predicates, all MAX Aspiration Catheters may be connected to piston syringes including the Aspire Aspirator. Aspirators may be connected to other aspiration catheters.
# Indications, Intended Use and Contraindications
Indication: The Aspire MAX 6 Aspiration Catheters and Aspirator are indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the peripheral vasculature.
Intended Use: Aspire MAX Aspiration Catheters are single-use devices intended for use by physician's experienced and trained in diagnostic and interventional procedures. Techniques for placement of vascular sheaths, catheters, and guidewires may be used.
Contraindications: The removal of fibrous, adherent or calcified material (e.g., chronic clot and atherosclerotic plaque), neurovascular use, and vessels <2.0mm diameter for the Aspire MAX 5 Aspiration Catheter and <2.5mm diameter for the Aspire MAX 6 Aspiration Catheter.
The indication and intended use is substantially equivalent other thrombus aspiration catheters manually actuated by syringes and legally marketed under the DXE product code.
