Intended Use
The Penumbra LP Coil System is indicated for the embolization of: - Intracranial aneurysms - Other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae - Arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature
Device Story
The Penumbra LP Coil System is a neurovascular embolization device used by physicians to occlude blood flow in aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and fistulae. The system consists of a platinum embolization coil attached to a composite delivery pusher, a radiopaque positioning marker, and a detachment handle. The physician navigates the coil through a microcatheter to the target site under fluoroscopic guidance. Once positioned, the coil is detached from the pusher using the detachment handle. The device functions by physically obstructing blood flow within the target vessel or aneurysm. It is intended for single use in clinical settings. The system is provided sterile and is compatible with standard neurointerventional techniques. By inducing thrombosis and mechanical occlusion, the device helps prevent rupture or abnormal blood flow in neurovascular and peripheral vascular structures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal studies were conducted. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through bench-top testing, including dimensional/visual inspection, friction testing, fatigue resistance, simulated use in anatomical models, radiopacity, torsional resistance, corrosion testing, coil stiffness, and tensile testing. All tests passed. Biocompatibility was verified per ISO 10993-1.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Platinum/Tungsten coil, adhesive, titanium, polymer, plastic/stainless steel handle. Energy: None (mechanical). Dimensions: Coil length 1-70 cm, primary diameter 0.0115-0.0135 in., secondary diameter 1-10 mm. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) per ISO 11135, SAL ≥10^-6. Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring embolization of intracranial aneurysms, neurovascular abnormalities (arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae), and arterial/venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. 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).

Dear Samyukta Rangachari:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
