Intended Use

The Ascendra Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

Device Story

The Ascendra Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is a sterile, single-use coaxial polyamide catheter featuring a distal inflatable polyamide balloon. It is used by physicians in clinical settings to dilate stenotic aortic valves prior to bioprosthesis implantation. The device is compatible with 0.035" guidewires and 14F sheaths. During operation, the catheter is positioned using two radiopaque marker bands; the balloon is then inflated via a proximal 'Y' connector using a diluted contrast medium solution injected through an inflation device. This mechanical dilation prepares the valve site for subsequent transcatheter or surgical valve replacement. The device's design and function facilitate the valvuloplasty procedure, aiming to improve valve hemodynamics and procedural success for patients undergoing aortic valve replacement.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical assessment relied on literature review, comparison to marketed devices, and complaint analysis. The assessment concluded that balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) for predilation is feasible and safe. Evidence was supported by clinical trial data from PMA P110021 and P130009, providing reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

Coaxial polyamide catheter with distal inflatable polyamide balloon. Features two radiopaque marker bands for placement. Compatible with 0.035" guidewire and 14F sheath. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Mechanical operation via contrast medium inflation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients requiring dilation of a stenotic aortic valve prior to bioprosthesis implantation.

Regulatory Classification

## Device Description:

The Edwards Ascendra Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is used for balloon aortic valvuloplasty. The device consists of a coaxial polyamide catheter with a distal inflatable polyamide balloon intended to dilate (perform valvuloplasty on) the stenotic aortic valve prior to implantation of a bioprosthesis. Two radiopaque marker bands indicate the dilating section of the balloon and aid in balloon placement. At the proximal end of the catheter, there is a standard "Y" connector for balloon inflation and a guidewire lumen. An inflation device may be connected directly or indirectly (using the supplied extension tubing) to the balloon inflation luer port of the catheter. The balloon is inflated by injecting a diluted contrast medium solution through the luer port (marked "BALLOON") on the "Y" connector. The device is supplied sterile for single use only. The BAVC is provided in a 20 mm size and is compatible with a 0.035" guidewire and a 14F sheath.

### Indications for Use:

The Ascendra Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter is indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

### Comparison to Predicate:

The BAVC is substantially equivalent to Loma Vista Medical (BARD) TRUE Dilation Catheter, 510(k) No.: K121083 and the NuMed Z-MED and Z-MED II™ Balloon Aortic

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

Valvuloplasty Catheter, 510(k) No.: K122012 in intended use, design, technology and performance. The BAVC differs from the predicate devices in length.

# Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

Non-clinical testing was completed to demonstrate that the Ascendra balloon aortic valvuloplasty catheter meets the established performance characteristics, and to verify that design requirements are satisfied. Testing included biocompatibility evaluation per ISO 10993-1, ethylene oxide sterilization validation, and package qualification. Device functional testing included surface/visual Inspection, dimensional inspection, radiopacity, balloon diameter, insertion force into sheath, balloon inflation time, balloon compliance, catheter kink test, balloon catheter retrieval force, balloon fatigue and burst, leakage test, bond testing. The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

# Summary of Clinical Data:

Clinical assessment for the Ascendra balloon aortic Valvuloplasty catheter consisted of a literature review, comparison to currently marketed devices and complaint analysis. The assessment concluded that the use of BAV to predilate the aortic valve prior to TAVR or as a bridge to percutaneous or surgical aortic valve replacement is feasible and safe. This analysis, in combination with the results of the clinical trials reviewed as part of PMA P110021 and P130009, provides reasonable assurance that the Ascendra balloon aortic Valvuloplasty catheter is safe and effective for its indicated use.

# Conclusion:

The Edwards Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Loma Vista Medical (BARD) TRUE Dilation Catheter and the NuMed Z-MED and Z-MED II™ Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Catheter.
