Device Story

Endovascular device for prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). System comprises self-expanding Nitinol filter and 9Fr delivery catheter. Filter features two opposing spiral elements, tissue anchors, and retrieval tails with radiopaque tantalum markers. Designed for IVC diameters 17-28mm. Physician deploys filter percutaneously via jugular or femoral approach using over-the-wire delivery system. Filter traps emboli while allowing blood flow. Retrieval performed using standard snares. Benefits include mechanical prophylaxis against PE in patients where anticoagulation is contraindicated or ineffective. Clinical decision-making supported by filter placement to mitigate PE risk; retrieval option allows removal when filter no longer required.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective, single-arm, multinational clinical trial (n=125). Primary endpoint: clinical success (technical success of deployment + freedom from PE, migration, and device-related adverse events). Technical success: 98% (123/125). Recurrent PE rate: 2.4% (3 cases). Clinical success: 96%. Retrieval success: 98% (53/54) at mean 83 days. No cases of embolization, migration, or fracture reported.

Technological Characteristics

Self-expanding Nitinol filter with ePTFE web; 9Fr delivery catheter (polycarbonate inner shaft, nylon outer shaft). Features five tissue anchors and radiopaque tantalum markers. Over-the-wire (0.035") delivery. Compatible with standard snares for retrieval. Designed for 17-28mm IVC diameters. Non-software device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with pulmonary thromboembolism where anticoagulants are contraindicated, anticoagulant therapy has failed, or in emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where conventional therapy benefits are reduced. Applicable for chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism. Suitable for percutaneous placement in the IVC and optional retrieval via femoral or jugular approach.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

#### Intended Use

The Crux VCF System is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via percutaneous placement in the inferior vena cava (IVC) in the following situations:

- Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulants are contraindicated .
- Failure of anticoagulant therapy in thromboembolic diseases .

{1}------------------------------------------------

- Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where anticipated . benefits of conventional therapy are reduced
- Chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism where anticoagulant therapy has failed or . is contraindicated

The Crux VCF may be removed according to the instructions contained in the Instructions for Use section "Optional Retrieval of the Crux VCF" in patients who no longer require a vena cava filter. Retrieval of the filter can be performed by femoral or jugular approach.

## Device Description - Crux Vena Cava Filter (VCF) System

The Crux VCF System is an endovascular medical device used in the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). The system consists of a self-expanding Nitinol filter delivered from a single-use, disposable 9Fr catheter, which can be used percutaneously to deploy the filter. The filter wireforms are composed of two opposing self-expanding Nitinol spiral elements connected at each end with Nitinol crimps. One end of each wireform is formed into a sinusoidal shaped retrieval tail to aid in retrieval of the filter using a snare. Each retrieval tail has an atraumatic plasma ball and a radiopaque tantalum marker band to facilitate visualization. There are five tissue anchors attached to the wireforms elements with Nitinol tubing. The filter is designed to treat IVC diameters of 17 to 28mm.

The delivery catheter for the Crux VCF is a disposable, 9Fr introducer-sheathcompatible, single-use delivery catheter. The filter is provided loaded in the Crux VCF System for jugular or femoral approach delivery. The delivery catheter is an over-thewire system, 0.035" guidewire-compatible, and consists of a polycarbonate inner shaft and a nylon outer shaft. The inner shaft consists of the guidewire lumen and a flexible, radiopaque tracking tip. The outer shaft has a radiopaque distal marker band, a Touhy-Borst hemostasis valve and a one-way checkvalve for flushing.

The filter can be retrieved with commercially available snares and sheaths via either the jugular or femoral approach.

#### Comparison to Predicate Device

Both the Crux VCF System and predicate device share similar designs, mode of operation and materials. Both filters are delivered to the vena cava via transcatheter approach. When deployed, the nitinol material utilized in both the predicate and subject devices allows for self-centering of the filter. Both filters are designed with anchors to secure the filter to vessel wall and both filters can be safely retrieved via catheterization.

The primary differences between the predicate and subject devices are the filter geometry and the addition of ePTFE filter web incorporated in the Crux VCF design. Based on the design verification and validation results, the variation in geometry and addition of the ePTFE filter web do not have an adverse impact on the safety and effectiveness of the VCF when compared to the predicate device.

As demonstrated in the results of the clinical trial, these differences in design do not adversely affect the clinical outcomes when compared to the predicate device and the devices are substantially equivalent.

In vivo testing (Pre-clinical) Deployment Retrieval Positional Stability IVC histopathology

Clinical Testing Summary:

A clinical trial was conducted under an approved IDE and IRB protocol to further establish the safety, effectiveness and substantial equivalence to the predicate device. One hundred and twenty-five (125) subjects with a temporary or permanent risk of recurrent pulmonary embolism were enrolled into a prospective, single arm, multinational clinical trial. Subjects were followed for 180 days or 30 days after filter retrieval. The primary endpoint of clinical success is defined as technical success of deployment and freedom from PE, filter migration, and device related adverse events requiring intervention. Secondary endpoints include retrieval success, filter migration, IVCF thrombosis, and device integrity.

The technical success rate was 123/125 (98%). There were 3 cases of recurrent PE (2.4%) and no cases of embolization, migration or fracture. There were 8 cases of asymptomatic, new inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus including 5 observed at retrieval evaluation. Clinical Success was 96% (91.8% lower one-sided 95% CL exceeding the 80). Retrieval success was 53/54 (98%) at a mean of 83 ± 57 days (range 7 to 190) with 1 radiographic anomaly observed with no clinical sequelae.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The clinical trial demonstrated the safe deployment, implant and retrieval of the filter. Technical and retrieval success are high, with a low rate of device related complications.

## Conclusion:

Bench test, animal test and the clinical trial results demonstrate that the device meets the established success criteria and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
