The Reverse Medical™ Micro Vascular Plug (MVP™) System is intended for use to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Story
The Reverse Medical MVP is a self-expandable, ovoid-shaped nitinol embolic plug with an ePTFE partial cover, featuring platinum marker bands. It is delivered via a 0.021" ID microcatheter to occlude or reduce blood flow in peripheral vessels (1.5–3.0mm diameter). The system includes a delivery wire and a separate, battery-operated Detachment Box and Cable Set. The Detachment Box uses electrolytic detachment to release the plug from the delivery wire; it monitors, detects, signals, and measures detachment time. Used in clinical settings by physicians, the device provides permanent vascular occlusion. The physician uses the detachment box to control and confirm the release of the implant. By obstructing blood flow, the device treats vascular malformations or conditions requiring embolization, benefiting patients by providing a controlled, precise method for vessel occlusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Verification testing included visual/dimensional inspection, tensile strength, particulate testing, radial force, microcatheter compatibility, detachment time, torque strength, plug foreshortening, nickel release, corrosion resistance, flow occlusion/reduction, MRI compatibility, and sterilization/biocompatibility validation (ISO 10993-1).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Nitinol (plug), ePTFE (cover), platinum (marker bands). Principle: Self-expanding mechanical occlusion with electrolytic detachment. Energy: 9-volt battery-powered detachment box. Connectivity: Wired connection via bayonet dual-pin cable. Sterilization: Validated per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135. Form factor: Ovoid plug for 1.5–3.0mm vessels, delivered via 0.021" ID microcatheter.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature for patients requiring vascular embolization.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).

{1}------------------------------------------------
ePTFE partial cover. The device is secured at both ends with platinum marker bands. The Reverse Medical MVP is intended to reduce or occlude vascular blood flow of vessels having a diameter of 1.5 – 3.0mm.
The proximal marker band attaches to a delivery wire that pushes through a commercially available catheter to the intended treatment site. The Reverse Medical Detachment Box regulates detachment of the implant device from the delivery wire by electrolytic means during deployment, and monitors, detects, signals and measures the time of detachment. The Reverse Medical Cable Set – 275 cm length (Model RMCS – 2.75US) is provided sterile. The cable set connects to the Detachment Box through a bayonet type dual pin connector that ensures correct polarity. The Reverse Medical Cable Set and Detachment Box will be sold separately. One 9-volt battery and a sterile needle (20 G or 22 G) will also be needed for use with the Reverse Medical Micro Vascular Plug (MVP).
#### Intended Use
The Reverse Medical MVP is intended for use to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.
