#### 1.8 Device Description
The Indigo Aspiration System ("Indigo System") is intended for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems using the Indigo Aspiration Catheter, Indigo Separator, Indigo Aspiration Tubing, and Penumbra Aspiration Pump. The Indigo System was most recently cleared under K180939.
The INDIGO® Aspiration System is comprised of the several devices:
- · INDIGO Aspiration Catheter
- Penumbra Aspiration Pump
- INDIGO Pump/Canister Tubing
- INDIGO Aspiration Tubing
- INDIGO Separator
The INDIGO Aspiration System is designed to remove thrombus from the vasculature using mechanical aspiration. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter targets aspiration from the pump directly to the thrombus. The INDIGO Separator may be used to clear the lumen of the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter should it become blocked with thrombus. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or vascular sheath into the peripheral vasculature and guided over a guidewire to the site of the primary occlusion. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump to aspirate thrombus from an occluded vessel. As needed, an INDIGO Separator may be deployed from the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter to assist with thrombus removal. The INDIGO Separator is advanced and retracted through the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter at the proximal margin of the primary occlusion to facilitate clearing of the thrombus from the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter tip. The devices are visible under fluoroscopy. For the aspiration source, the INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump, which is connected using the INDIGO Aspiration Tubing and the INDIGO Aspiration Pump Canister. The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter may be provided with a steam shaping mandrel, rotating hemostasis valve, and introducer. The INDIGO Separator may be provided with an introducer and torque device.
