Intended Use
The InThrill Thrombectomy System is indicated for: - The non-surgical removal of thrombi and emboli from blood vessels, including arteriovenous fistulae and arteriovenous grafts for dialysis access, and synthetic grafts. - Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel/graft. The InThrill Thrombectomy System is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature. The InThrill Thrombectomy System is not intended for use in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) treatment.
Device Story
Single-use, over-the-wire, catheter-based system for peripheral vascular thrombectomy. Comprises InThrill Sheath (with distal self-expanding funnel, proximal aspiration port, hemostatic valve) and InThrill Thrombectomy Catheter (with expandable nitinol coring element/basket). Used in clinical settings by physicians. Sheath funnel expands to occlude flow and secure position; catheter coring element gathers/pulls thrombus toward sheath for aspiration. Radiopaque markers facilitate fluoroscopic positioning. Benefits include minimally invasive removal of organized/adherent thrombus from dialysis access and synthetic grafts. Output is physical removal of embolic material; healthcare provider uses fluoroscopy to guide device and monitor clot extraction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing (graft leak, simulated use, radial force, contact pressure, abrasion, comparative clot removal) and a GLP animal study in peripheral vessels.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Pebax (55D/63D), PTFE liner, stainless steel coil, nitinol (braided funnel, laser-cut coring element), HDPE/LDPE. Energy: Mechanical (manual actuation). Form factor: 8 Fr sheath/catheter system. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO) to SAL 10^-6. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-surgical removal of thrombi and emboli from peripheral blood vessels, including arteriovenous fistulae, arteriovenous grafts for dialysis access, and synthetic grafts. Also indicated for injection, infusion, or aspiration of fluids/contrast media. Not for DVT treatment.
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.

## Dear Ellen Nguyen:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
