Intended Use

The AXERA Access System is intended to provide access for the percutaneous introduction of devices into the peripheral vasculature and to promote hemostasis at the arteriotomy site as an adjunct to manual compression. AXERA is indicated for use in patients undergoing diagnostic femoral artery catheterization procedures using 5F or 6F introducer sheaths.

Device Story

AXERA 2 Access System facilitates percutaneous peripheral vascular access and promotes hemostasis at arteriotomy sites as an adjunct to manual compression. Device comprises latchwire, anchor mechanism, shaft, and handle with control features. Operator creates shallow access path through arterial wall for guidewire entry into vessel lumen. Used in clinical settings during diagnostic femoral artery catheterization. Output is established vascular access; device design assists in achieving hemostasis post-procedure. Benefits include controlled access and adjunctive hemostasis support.

Clinical Evidence

Evidence includes bench testing of modified components (functionality, corrosion, flex, tensile, compressive strength). Prior testing included accessory functionality, deployment/release forces, joint tensile strength, needle integrity, torque loading, biocompatibility, non-GLP animal studies, cadaver assessments, and clinical investigations. Short-term safety and performance established; long-term safety and re-access studied retrospectively in a small patient cohort.

Technological Characteristics

Components: Latchwire, anchor mechanism, shaft, handle. Design creates shallow access path for guidewire. Mechanical operation. No software or energy source described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic femoral artery catheterization procedures requiring 5F or 6F introducer sheaths.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

## Summary of Substantial Equivalence:

Modifications to the AXERA 2 Access System consist of changes to the Latchwire and the Needle Lumen-Anchor (NLA) components. Modifications to the Latchwire include incorporation of the angled-tip onto the longer Latchwire as well as process changes. The NLA assembly has also been modified with design modifications to the geometry of the tab as well as addition of a second tab.

There are no changes to the Indications for Use or procedural steps resulting from the changes described within this submission other than textual clarifications.

Bench testing of the modified AXERA 2 Access System was performed for device specifications affected by the modifications described above, following sterilization of test units. The following tests were performed: device functionality, corrosion resistance testing (Latchwire), flex conditioning (Latchwire), Latchwire resistance to flexing, tensile strength of Latchwire to Anchor (parallel and non-parallel), tensile strength of Latchwire distal coil to core wire, tensile strength of Latchwire proximal coil, latch, and core wire, and compressive strength (handle/anchor).

Additional prior bench testing of the AXERA 2 device included accessory functionality, deployment forces (heel. needle, plunger), release forces (heel), tensile strength of multiple joints (anchor, heel, plunger, plunger tube, needle, guidewire, dilator adapter), access needle integrity, compressive strength (plunger lockout), and torque loading (handle/anchor), corrosion resistance testing (guidewire), guidewire resistance to fracture, guidewire resistance to flexing, biocompatibility testing, preliminary animal studies (non-GLP) and cadaver assessments, as well as clinical investigations. "

Prior simulated use testing was performed on a cadaveric model and multiple clinical evaluations were conducted. The short term safety and clinical performance of the device were established. The long term safety, as well as the ability to access and re-access, was retrospectively studied in a smaller cohort of patients.

In summary, the data provided herein demonstrate that the AXERA 2 Access System is substantially equivalent to its predicates in providing access to the arterial lumen and facilitating the introduction and placement of devices into the peripheral vasculature and promoting hemostasis as an adjunct to manual compression.

¹ The preliminary Animal Studies and Cadaver Assessments were conducted using prototypes of a similar design and configuration.
