Intended Use
The CTS FloCoil Shunt is designed to help reduce blood in the operative field by temporary occlusion of the artery and to provide blood flow distal to the arteriotomy. This FloCoil Shunt is not an implant and is removed prior to completion of the anastomosis.
Device Story
CTS FloCoil Shunt is a temporary vascular occlusion device used during surgery. It consists of a coil-reinforced polymer shaft with polymer seals at each end and tapered tips. The device is inserted into an artery; the polymer seals contact the vessel wall to occlude blood flow proximal and distal to the arteriotomy, while an inner lumen allows blood perfusion distal to the site. A polyester tether with a radiopaque tab facilitates insertion and removal. The device is non-implantable and removed before anastomosis completion. It assists surgeons in maintaining a clear operative field while preserving distal perfusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Functional performance testing confirmed the device's ability to provide temporary arterial occlusion and distal blood flow. Biocompatibility testing confirmed the safety of the materials used.
Technological Characteristics
Coil-reinforced polymer shaft, polymer seals, tapered polymer tips, polyester tether, radiopaque tab. Dimensions vary based on vessel diameter. Non-implantable. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary arterial occlusion and distal blood flow maintenance during surgical procedures requiring arteriotomy. Not for permanent implantation; must be removed before anastomosis completion.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

CTS FloCoil Shunt
# PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The CTS FloCoil Shunt consists of coil reinforced polymer shaft with a polymer seal on each end and tapered polymer tips. The polymer seals on each end contact the vessel wall and cause occlusion of the artery proximal and distal to the arteriotomy. The FloCoil Shunt is selected according to the outer diameter of the polymer seals and is available in various sizes for various vessel diameters. There is a hole in both tapered tip ends of the FloCoil Shunt to allow for the perfusion of blood through the shunt's inner lumen and beyond the arteriotomy. A polyester thread (tether) is attached to the FloCoil Shunt in the middle of the shaft. Attached to the tether is a radiopaque tab which is used to aid insertion and removal of the FloCoil Shunt.
# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The CTS FloCoil Shunt is substantially equivalent to predicate devices currently being marketed. The marketed predicate devices are identified above. The CTS FloCoil Shunt is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to intended use, function, physical characteristics, materials and sterilization method.
All necessary testing was performed on the CTS FloCoil Shunt to ensure the product is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and to ensure that the CTS FloCoil Shunt does not have any differences which have a significant effect on safety and effectiveness.
# FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
Functional testing was conducted on the CTS FloCoil Shunt to ensure that the Shunt would function according to its intended use instructions. All testing conducted confirmed the acceptability of the CTS FloCoil Shunt to perform as intended to help reduce blood in the operative field by temporary occlusion of the artery while providing blood flow distal to the arteriotomy.
# BIOCOMPATIBILITY EVALUATION
The biocompatibility testing was conducted on the CTS FloCoil Shunt and Shunt materials to ensure the acceptability of the CTS FloCoil Shunt when used as directed. The CTS FloCoil Shunt and Shunt materials passed the necessary biocompatibility tests.
# SUMMARY
As contained in this 510(k) summary, all necessary testing was conducted on the CTS FloCoil™ Shunt to ensure that the device is safe and effective when used in accordance to its intended use.

Dear Mr. Billig:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
