Intended Use
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures. Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or other appropriate viewing technologies.
Device Story
AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is a sterile, single-use, implantable clip preloaded on a disposable applier; used during cardiac surgery to occlude the left atrial appendage (LAA). Surgeon operates the applier to position the clip; clip applies uniform pressure to ensure secure, permanent occlusion. Device available in 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 50mm lengths to accommodate varying LAA sizes. System facilitates LAA exclusion, potentially reducing risk of thromboembolic events. Applier features handle, shaft, articulation controls, and end-effector for deployment. No software or electronic components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included reliability, mechanical, and confirmatory biologic testing to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device. No new safety or performance issues were identified.
Technological Characteristics
Implantable clip made of titanium and polyester. Disposable applier includes handle, shaft, and articulation controls. Mechanical operation; no energy source. Available in 35, 40, 45, and 50 mm lengths. Sterile, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for occlusion of the left atrial appendage in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures requiring direct visualization of the heart.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implantable clip is a clip-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

Dear Ms. Smallwood:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

#### lll. Device Description
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a Single Use Clip Applier along with a selection guide. When closed, the Clip applies uniform pressure over the length of the Clip to ensure consistent, reproducible, and secure occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). The clip is then deployed and is left as a permanent implant. The Clip is available in the following lengths to accommodate different sizes of LAA: 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm. The PRO·V Clip Applier is a disposable device with a handle, shaft, suture anchors, articulation controls, and deployment end-effector containing the Clip.

### IV. Intended Use/ Indications for Use
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures.
Direct visualization. in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or other appropriate viewing technologies.
#### V. Comparison of Technological Characteristics (PRO-V cleared via K153500)
Minor dimensional modifications were made to internal components of the end effector of the Clip Applier, and a minor internal component was replaced with an equivalent component in the handle of the Clip Applier. A minor dimensional modification was also made to the PRO-V Clip Implant.
- . The devices have the same intended use and;
- . No changes were made in operating principle, or specifications of performance.
- . No changes were made to the labeling.
- No changes were required in packaging sterilization or expiration dating.
- The PRO·V Clip continues to be made of titanium and polyester. .
#### VI. Performance Data
The following bench testing was conducted for design and performance elements deemed appropriate to demonstrate equivalence to the previously cleared PRO-V device. The PRO-V device met the predetermined acceptance criteria ensuring substantial equivalence to the previously cleared PRO-V device. No new safety or performance issues were raising during testina.
## Non-clinical Bench Testing:
