Indications for Use
MicroPlex Coil System and HydroCoil Embolic System: The MicroPlex Coil System and HydroCoil Embolic System are intended for the endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The MicroPlex Coil System and HydroCoil Embolic System are also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature. AZUR Peripheral Coil System: The AZUR Peripheral Coil System is intended to reduce or block the rate of blood flow in vessels of the peripheral vasculature. It is intended for use in the interventional radiologic management of arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, aneurysms, and other lesions of the peripheral vasculature.
Device Story
The V-Grip and AZUR Detachment Controllers are handheld, battery-powered accessories used with MicroVention coil systems. The system consists of an implantable platinum alloy coil (with or without hydrogel core) attached to a delivery pusher via a polyolefin elastomer filament. During interventional procedures, the physician inserts the proximal end of the pusher into the controller. Upon activation, the controller delivers electrical current to heat the polyolefin filament, causing the coil to detach from the pusher and remain in the target vessel to obstruct blood flow. The subject modification updates the controller housing and power source (from three 12V batteries to one removable 9V battery) to facilitate battery disposal. The device is used in clinical settings by physicians. The output (electrical current) directly enables the mechanical detachment of the implant, facilitating permanent vascular occlusion and providing therapeutic benefit for aneurysms and vascular malformations.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included output voltage/time verification, detachment performance, battery voltage monitoring, LED/buzzer sequence testing, EMC compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2:2014), electrical safety (IEC 60601-1:2012), and shelf-life/shipping validation (ISTA 3A). All tests passed.
Indicated for patients requiring endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, and other neurovascular or peripheral vascular lesions to reduce or block blood flow.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.
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 § 882.1(e).

malformations and arteriovenous fistulae. The MicroPlex Coil System and HydroCoil Embolic System are also intended for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system to permanently obstruct blood flow to an aneurysm or other vascular malformation and for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
AZUR Peripheral Coil System:
The AZUR Peripheral Coil System is intended to reduce or block the rate of blood flow in vessels of the peripheral vasculature. It is intended for use in the interventional radiologic management of arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, aneurysms, and other lesions of the peripheral vasculature.
The V-Grip Detachment Controller is an accessory for use with the Device Description: MicroVention MicroPlex Coil System (MCS) and HydroCoil Embolic System (HES). The AZUR Detachment Controller is for use with the MicroVention AZUR Peripheral Coil System (AZUR).
> The MCS and AZUR devices consist of an implantable coil made of a platinum alloy (Platinum/Tunqsten). The HES and AZUR metal/gel devices consist of an implantable coil made of the same platinum alloy with a hydrogel inner core.
The implantable coil is attached to a delivery pusher via a polyolefin elastomer material. The proximal end of the delivery pusher is inserted into a hand held, battery powered Detachment Controller. When the Detachment Controller is activated, the flow of electrical current heats the polyolefin elastomer filament, resulting in detachment of the implantable coil. The Detachment Controller is packaged and sold separately.
The primary purpose of the subject submission is a modification to the V-Grip/AZUR Detachment Controller to facilitate battery removal and disposal after use of the device. The table below provides a summary of the differences between the current and modified Detachment Controller.
