Intended Use
The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters with aspiration are indicated for use as atherectorny devices for arterial stenoses, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), and to aspirate thrombus adjacent to stenoses in native and stented infra-inguinal arteries. The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters without aspiration are indicated for use in the treatment, including atherectomy, of infra-inguinal stenoses and occlusions.
Device Story
Auryon Atherectomy System consists of single-use catheter and laser console; catheter utilizes array of optic fibers surrounded by circumferential blunt blade at distal tip. System transmits laser energy (355 nm wavelength) at pre-set fluence levels (50 and 60 mJ/mm²) to occluded/narrowed artery to perform atherectomy. Operates over 300cm 0.014" guidewire. Larger catheters (2.0mm, 2.35mm) include aspiration feature for debris/thrombus removal; 2.35mm model includes off-center feature for debulking beyond catheter diameter. Used in clinical setting by physicians; provides debulking of arterial lesions. Modification adds platinum/iridium marker band to 0.9mm catheter for enhanced radiographic visualization. System benefits patients by restoring arterial patency through mechanical and laser-assisted tissue removal.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included catheter shaft dimensions, guard tube length, trackability, leakage, pull testing, optical fiber exposure, optical functionality, torque testing, and hydrophilic coating evaluation. All tests met established acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Nd:YAG laser (355 nm); 40 Hz pulse rate; 10-25 ns pulse duration; 33.5 mJ max output. Catheter sizes: 0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.35mm. Materials include optic fibers, stainless steel inner blade, and platinum/iridium marker band (0.9mm model). Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Connectivity: Standalone system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with arterial stenoses, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), and thrombus in native and stented infra-inguinal arteries. Also indicated for treatment of infra-inguinal stenoses and occlusions.

Auryon Atherectomy Catheters Peripheral Atherectomy Catheter 21CFR870.4875 Intraluminal Artery Stripper Class 2 MCW Cardiovascular Devices
## Purpose
The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to introduce into commercial distribution a slight modification of the Auryon Atherectomy Catheters previously cleared under predicate 510(k) K220116; specifically, to modify the design of the existing 0.9 mm catheter to add a platinum/iridium marker band near the tip of the catheter for enhanced radiographic image contrast.
{4}------------------------------------------------
## Device Description
The Auryon™ Atherectomy System consists of two sub-units: 1) a single use catheter ("Auryon catheter"); and 2) a laser console. The Auryon catheter is a single use catheter that is made of an array of optic fibers surrounded by a circumferential blunt blade at its distal tip. The Auryon™ catheter is connected to the laser system via its connector and transmits energy at pre-set fluence levels of 50 and 60 ml/mm² to the occluded or narrowed artery. The Auryon™ Atherectomy System must work over a commercially available 300cm 0.014" guide wire that crosses the lesion intra-luminally. The catheters are available in four sizes (0.9mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.35mm), with and without hydrophilic coating.
For the small size catheters (i.e., 0.9mm and 1.5mm), there is a designated lumen tube for a guidewire at the center of the inner blunt blade. The 0.9mm and 1.5mm catheters do not have an aspiration feature and have not been tested in ISR lesions.
The larger Auryon catheters (i.e., 2.0mm and 2.35mm) have an eccentric guidewire lumen, and include additional features consisting of an aspiration feature (both catheters) and an "off-center" feature 2.35mm only). The aspiration feature is intended for debris and thrombus collection and removal from the vessel during the atherectomy procedure. These devices are also indicated for treatment of In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) lesions.
The "off-center" feature is included in the 2.35 mm catheter only and is designed to facilitate debulking of lesions in blood vessels beyond the catheter's diameter.
The modification associated with this submission is to add a platinum/iridium marker band within the wall of the 0.9 mm coated and uncoated catheters adjacent to the existing stainless steel inner blade. This marker band will enhance the radiographic contrast of the device.
There are no changes to the Auryon Laser Console unit associated with this submission.
## Indications for Use/Intended Use
The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters with aspiration are indicated for use as atherectomy devices for arterial stenoses, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), and to aspirate thrombus adjacent to stenoses in native and stented infra-inguinal arteries.
The Auryon™ Atherectomy System and Auryon Atherectomy Catheters without aspiration are indicated for use in the treatment, including atherectomy, of infra-inguinal stenoses and occlusions.

## Substantial Equivalence
Assessment of the similarities and differences of the proposed Auryon Atherectomy System and the predicate Auryon Atherectomy Catheters concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent to one another; specifically:
- . The proposed and predicate device have the identical ProCode, Regulation Number, Regulation Name, and Regulatory Class;
- The proposed and predicate device have identical Indications for Use;
- . The proposed and predicate devices incorporate the identical operating principle, mechanism of action, and are intended for the same patient populations; and,
- With the exception of the added Pt/Ir component, the proposed and predicate employ an identical overall design, materials of manufacture, performance testing, sizes, and configurations.
The sum of these evaluations and determinations lead Eximo Medical Ltd. to conclude that substantial equivalence has been demonstrated, and that the existing data and additional testing have confirmed that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
