Intended Use

The Wedge XL Delivery Catheter is intended to assist in the delivery of interventional devices, such as distal access catheters, in the neurovasculature.

Device Story

Single lumen catheter; introduced over steerable guidewire to access small, tortuous neurovasculature. Semi-rigid proximal section transitions to flexible distal tip; distal segment features larger diameter for navigation stability. Radiopaque markers at distal end for fluoroscopic visualization; hydrophilic coating on distal 110 cm for lubricity. Luer fitting on hub for accessory attachment. Used by physicians in clinical settings for neurointerventional procedures. Facilitates delivery of distal access catheters; enables navigation through complex vascular anatomy. Benefits patient by providing stable platform for interventional device placement.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical data. Bench testing included physical attributes, coating lubricity/durability, simulated use, burst pressure, leak testing, flexural fatigue, and kink resistance. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) confirmed non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritant, non-pyrogenic, and thromboresistant properties. GLP-compliant porcine animal study (n=not specified) compared subject device to predicate, evaluating tracking performance and vascular response at 3-day and 30-day time points; results showed comparable histological impact and safety profiles.

Technological Characteristics

Single lumen catheter; hydrophilic polymer coating; radiopaque markers. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. Luer-connector per ISO 80369-7. Materials evaluated for biocompatibility per ISO 10993. No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in the neurovasculature to assist in the delivery of interventional devices, such as distal access catheters. Prescription use only.

Regulatory Classification

The study was designed to assess the safety and performance of catheter tracking in a porcine model. The porcine model was chosen because the vessel sizes allow the insertion and navigation of standard-sized catheters used in humans. Animals were survived to subacute (3 days) and chronic (30 days) time points after procedures to evaluate the vascular response to device use. The study results demonstrated that use of the subject Wedge XL Delivery Catheter with the SOFIA 88 Catheter (K214024) and Wedge Microcatheter with the SOFIA 6F Catheter (K172014, K150366) performed equally in all animal testing. During postmortem examination there were no remarkable gross findings in any of the vessels evaluated with either test or control devices. There was a comparable histological impact of device use on arterial sections in which test and control devices were used. Artery sections subjected to the stiffest segment of the Wedge XL Delivery Catheter exhibited similar tissue responses as to control devices. Overall, the histologic findings were consistent with routine catheterization procedures, which are commonly observed after interventional procedures in porcine models. The results of the animal study did not raise any safety concerns with either the test Wedge XL Delivery Catheter or control Wedge Microcatheter. The devices are deemed equivalent. {8}------------------------------------------------ # Conclusion MicroVention concludes based upon the comparison of the device intended use, indications for use, operating principles, technological characteristics, and the review of the performance bench testing, animal study assessments, sterility, and biocompatibility evaluation that the Wedge XL Delivery Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate Wedge Microcatheter and performs as intended. Any differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
