Intended Use

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips of the permanent type are indicated for implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The temporary type are indicated for temporary occlusion of cerebral blood vessels.

Device Story

Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is a surgical implant used for occlusion of cerebral aneurysms or blood vessels. Device is manufactured from Ti6Al4V titanium alloy to improve MRI compatibility and reduce artifacts compared to cobalt-chrome or stainless steel clips. Available in 55 models with shapes and sizes identical to existing Sugita Elgiloy clips. Implanted by neurosurgeons during intracranial procedures. Titanium material provides mechanical properties suitable for vessel occlusion while minimizing magnetomechanical effects and imaging interference in MRI and CT environments. Benefit to patient includes reduced imaging artifacts during post-operative monitoring and reliable vessel occlusion.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing demonstrated that after 500 opening/closing cycles, clips retained an average of 98.5% of original closing force (ASTM measurement technique), compared to 97.1% for Yasargil Titanium Clips. MR safety/compatibility testing confirmed safety up to 10 T and minimal artifact at 1.5 T. CT streak artifact is minimal compared to cobalt-chromium clips.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. Form factor: 55 models of various shapes/sizes. Mechanical properties: 98.5% closing force retention after 500 cycles. Imaging: MRI compatible up to 10 T; reduced CT streak artifact. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms (permanent type) or temporary occlusion of cerebral blood vessels (temporary type).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An aneurysm clip is a device used to occlude an intracranial aneurysm (a balloonlike sac formed on a blood vessel) to prevent it from bleeding or bursting.

# Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip

Common/Classification Name: Intracerebral Aneurysm Clip, 21 CFR 882.5200

#### LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent to the Aesculap Titanium Aneurysm Clip which was cleared by FDA as K970050 on November 26, 1997. It is also substantially equivalent in some characteristics to the Sugita (Elgiloy) Aneurysm Clip, cleared for marketing under P820009 as a Class III device and reclassified into Class II on May 18, 1983, and to the Spetzler Ti-100 Titanium Aneurysm Clip cleared by FDA as K955064 on October 17, 1996.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION B.

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is made from the titanium alloy This alloy was chosen for the new clip because of its Ti6AI4V. excellent compatibility with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Titanium and its alloys cause much less artifact and are devices. subject to much smaller magnetomechanical effects than other clips materials such as the cobalt-chrome alloys or stainless steel. Ti6Al4V also has excellent mechanical properties.

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips are available in 55 models of various shapes and sizes. These shapes and sizes are identical to the corresponding models of the Sugita Elgiloy clips.

#### C. INTENDED USE

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips of the permanent type are indicated for implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The temporary type are indicated for temporary occlusion

of cerebral blood vessels.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D.

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is a medical device, and it has similar indications for use statement as the legally marketed Sugita Aneurysm Clip. However, the differences in indications statements do not change the intended therapeutic use. The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip has the same technological characteristics and is made from the same material as the Aesculap Titanium Clip. For most of the characteristics, this premarket notification will describe the characteristics of the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip in sufficient detail to assure substantial equivalence. One characteristic, mechanical properties, may not be precise enough to ensure so laboratory data are submitted equivalence, herein which demonstrate that the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regard to mechanical properties.

#### E. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is made from the titanium alloy The 55 models manufactured in the titanium alloy are Ti6AI4V. identical to the corresponding Sugita Elgiloy models in shape and size.

#### F. TESTING

As is discussed in detail elsewhere in this 510(k), the data show that after 500 openings and closings, the Mizuho Titanium Aneurysm Clips on average retain 98.5% of their original closing force (using the ASTM measurement technique). This compares with 97.1% for the Yasargil Titanium Clips. The MR safety and compatibility summary in Section IV demonstrates that the clip is safe for use in the MR environment up to 10 T, and that the artifact on MR images up to 1.5 T does not extend significantly beyond the region occupied by the clip. Streak artifact on CT images is minimal, much less than is seen with cobalt-chromium alloy clips.

#### G. CONCLUSIONS

The 510(k) decision algorithm brings us to a determination of Substantial Equivalence, as defined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
