Intended Use
The Wildcat Catheter is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (including sub and chronic total occlusions) in the peripheral vasculature prior to further percutaneous intervention. The Wildcat Catheter is contraindicated for use in the illiac, coronary, cerebral or carotid vasculature. The Juicebox is an optional accessory that may be used to facilitate catheter tip rotation when using a compatible Avinger catheter.
Device Story
Wildcat Catheter is a sterile, single-use, 6F-compatible, 110 cm long catheter designed to cross chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in peripheral vasculature. Device features a distal tip and bilateral wedges visible under fluoroscopy to facilitate guidewire placement. Juicebox is an optional, single-use, sterile accessory that attaches to the catheter handle to provide assisted distal tip rotation via a toggle switch. Operated by physicians in a clinical setting, the device is used to navigate lesions; once the guidewire is placed, the catheter is removed to allow for subsequent therapeutic interventions like atherectomy, PTCA, or stenting. The device provides mechanical assistance for crossing difficult lesions, potentially improving procedural success in peripheral vascular interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing confirming performance according to intended use and design specifications.
Technological Characteristics
6F guide-compatible catheter, 110 cm length, for 0.035" guidewires. Features distal tip and bilateral wedges for fluoroscopic visualization. Juicebox accessory provides mechanical assisted tip rotation via handle-mounted toggle switch. Sterile, single-use, disposable. No software or electronic algorithms; purely mechanical operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for facilitating intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions, including sub-total and chronic total occlusions (CTOs), in the peripheral vasculature prior to further percutaneous intervention. Contraindicated for use in iliac, coronary, cerebral, or carotid vasculature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

#### F. Predicate Device
The Avinger Wildcat Catheter used with the Juicebox is substantially equivalent to the Avinger Wildcat Catheter (K111338) and the Avinger Wildcat Guidewire Support Catheter 6F used with the Juicebox (K111704).
#### G. Device Description
The Wildcat Catheter is a sterile, single-use, disposable catheter designed to cross chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions in the peripheral vasculature.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The Wildcat Catheter consists of the distal tip, catheter shaft, and proximal handle that allows for manual device manipulation and a means for flushing the catheter lumen. The catheter is 6F guide compatible, 110 cm long, and intended for use with 0.035" guidewires. Two key elements of the device define the treatment modality - the distal tip and the bilateral wedges. Both elements are visible through fluoroscopy and allow for CTO crossing and facilitation of guidewire placement.
Subsequent to conventional quidewire placement, atherectomy devices, PTCA catheters, and/or stents may be used to provide therapeutic benefit.
Juicebox is an optional accessory used to provide assisted distal tip rotation when using a compatible Avinger catheter. It consists of a handle with a rotation toggle switch and a release button. Juicebox is designed to be placed over the catheter handle. This accessory is provided separately, irradiated for sterility, and intended for single use only.
#### H. Intended Use
The Wildcat Catheter is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (including sub and chronic total occlusions) in the peripheral vasculature prior to further percutaneous The Wildcat Catheter is contraindicated for use in the illiac, intervention. coronary, cerebral or carotid vasculature.
The Juicebox is an optional accessory that may be used to facilitate catheter tip rotation when using a compatible Avinger catheter.
#### Substantial Equivalence l.
The Avinger Wildcat Catheter is substantially equivalent to the Avinger Wildcat Catheter (K111338) and the Avinger Wildcat Guidewire Support Catheter 6F used with the Juicebox (K111704). The Wildcat Catheter used with the Juicebox substantially equivalent to the stated predicates in technological is characteristics, device design and packaging, procedural steps, performance testing, safety characteristics, and product labeling. The subject and predicate devices have the same mechanism of action (manual advancement of the Catheter) and perform the same function (access discrete regions of the peripheral vasculature). The Wildcat Catheter is the exact same device as the Wildcat Guidewire Support Catheter 6F and is identical in design, manufacturing, operation, and material composition as its FDA-cleared predicates, and as such, has the same technological characteristics. The changes to the Wildcat Catheter
{2}------------------------------------------------
labeling cleared under K111338 result in no significant changes to technological characteristics and do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
#### J. Non-Clinical Performance Data
The following non-clinical testing was conducted to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
