Intended Use

The EkoSonic® Endovascular System is indicated for the: - Ultrasound facilitated, controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the vasculature for the treatment of pulmonary embolism. - Infusion of solutions into the pulmonary arteries. - Controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, into the peripheral vasculature.

Device Story

System comprises disposable infusion catheter with removable ultrasound core and Control Unit 4.0 (CU 4.0). Catheter features multiple side holes for fluid delivery; ultrasound core contains up to 30 elements for energy delivery. Thermal sensors in treatment zone monitor temperature. CU 4.0 generates/controls radiofrequency energy delivery to ultrasound core; monitors/controls treatment zone temperature to limit surface temperature to 43°C. Used in clinical settings by physicians to facilitate thrombolytic agent delivery into vascular blood clots. CU 4.0 provides power and user interface for operator control. System includes internal lithium-ion backup battery. Output power limited by software to ~50W. Benefits include enhanced thrombolytic delivery via ultrasound facilitation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Verification testing included hardware (system tip, battery, electrical safety, EMC/EMI, RF board, environmental) and software (self-test, UI, firmware, event logging, system connect, RF channel, graphing, therapy support, workflow, startup, communication, source code inspection) performance tests. All tests passed.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Aluminum chassis/front panel (powder-coated or clear anodized). Energy: Radiofrequency energy for ultrasound transducers. Temperature control: Feedback loop limits surface temperature to 43°C. Power: Internal lithium-ion backup battery; software-limited output (~50W). Connectivity: Standalone control unit. Software: Firmware-based control system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring ultrasound-facilitated, controlled, and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids (including thrombolytics) into the vasculature for pulmonary embolism treatment, infusion into pulmonary arteries, or infusion into peripheral vasculature.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An embolectomy catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter that is used to remove thromboemboli, i.e., blood clots which have migrated in blood vessels from one site in the vascular tree to another.
