Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
Device Story
Z-MED and Z-MED II are coaxial catheters for balloon aortic valvuloplasty. Device features polyamide inner/outer shafts and a non-compliant polyamide balloon. Radiopaque platinum marker bands facilitate placement via fluoroscopy. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Catheter is inserted over a guidewire; balloon is inflated to dilate the stenotic aortic valve. Output is mechanical dilation of the valve. Benefits include improved valve function and preparation for transcutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical trials conducted. Evidence includes a clinical evaluation report per MDD 93/42/EEC, literature review, and historical sales/complaint data. Literature references use of Z-MED/Z-MED II in over 200 patients for BAV prior to TAVI without adverse events. Bench testing provided for all performance parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Coaxial catheter design; polyamide tubing shafts; non-compliant polyamide balloon; radiopaque platinum marker bands. Dimensions/shaft size vary by balloon diameter. Sterilized via standard methods (implied by Tyvek packaging). No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients requiring treatment for aortic valve stenosis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A balloon aortic valvuloplasty catheter is a catheter with a balloon at the distal end of the shaft, which is intended to treat stenosis in the aortic valve when the balloon is expanded.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(2) Sterility and shelf life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components.
(3) Non-clinical performance evaluation must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use, including device delivery, inflation, deflation, and removal.
(4) In vivo evaluation of the device must demonstrate device performance, including the ability of the device to treat aortic stenosis.
(5) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to the use of the device.

### Summary of Safety & Effectiveness, Continued
Device The NuMED Z-MED™ catheter is a coaxial catheter recommended for Balloon Description Aortic Valvuloplasty. The catheter's inner and outer shafts are constructed of polyamide tubing. The catheter features a molded proximal end bifurcate with two distinct luminal passages. The inflation lumen terminates into a distally mounted balloon made of polyamide. This balloon is of the non-compliant variety. Both the shaft size and the guidewire size vary according to balloon diameter. The distal lumen terminates at the tip of the catheter and will accept the passage of the appropriate guidewire. The lumen has radiopaque platinum marker band(s), centered or under the balloon shoulders, for placement using fluoroscopy. The catheter is white in color and the balloon material is clear. The catheter balloon diameter and name is stamped onto the Y sleeve and the balloon extension is labeled with the catheter specifications and lot number. The catheter is packaged in a polyethylene sheath and is double packed in two heat sealed Tyvek pouches.

The catheter is packaged in a polyethylene sheath and is double packed in two heat sealed Tyvek pouches. Biocompatibility
All materials used to manufacture the Z-MED and Z-MED II Catheters are available on other commercially available NuMED, Inc. devices (K022722, K081680, and K014124) and have passed all relevant biocompatibility tests. No additional biocompatibility testing was conducted for the Z-MED and Z-MED II Catheters.
In-Vitro Testing
In-Vitro testing was completed on the Z-MED and Z-MED II catheters for their original 510(k) submissions (K991977 and K003052). No additional testing was completed for the expanded indication because both indications are for valvuloplasty. A complete list of tests performed and the results are provided in the table below.

In Vivo A Clinical Evaluation Report was prepared for the Z-MED and Z-MED II Evaluation Catheters for this new indication of balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). This Clinical Evaluation Report was compiled to meet the requirements of the Medical Device Directive MOD 93/42/EEC, as amended, and establish the safety and performance of the device, as well as a review of Clinical Literature. The report also includes the history of the device, previous sales and complaints reported.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The information included in the 2012 clinical evaluation report also describes the clinical use of the Z-MED and Z-MED II catheters in those countries where they are used in balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) and balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV), as well as for balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) here in the United States. Numerous clinical studies reported in literature for Transcutaneous Aortic Valve Implant (TAVI) replacement surgery reference the use of the Z-MED and Z-MED II catheters for BAV prior to TAVI (over 200 patients) without incidents or adverse events.
The totality of this information provides further validation for the use of the Z-MED and Z-MED II catheters for balloon aortic valvuloplasty.
Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
The NuCLEUS-X Catheter has been tested and compared to the predicate devices listed herein. All data gathered demonstrate the NuCLEUS-X Catheter is substantially equivalent. No new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised.
