## Indications for Use

The SUBMARINE PLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter is intended to dilate stenoses in the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra popliteal, renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

## Device Story

SUBMARINE PLUS is a coaxial PTA catheter with a semi-compliant inflatable balloon at the distal tip; designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The device is tracked over a 0.018-inch guidewire to the target vessel site. The balloon is inflated using a contrast medium/saline mixture to dilate stenoses or obstructive lesions in peripheral arteries and dialysis fistulae. Two radiopaque marker bands under the balloon facilitate fluoroscopic positioning. The distal shaft features a hydrophilic coating to improve trackability. Used by physicians in clinical settings (e.g., interventional radiology or vascular surgery suites). The device provides mechanical dilation of vascular obstructions, potentially restoring blood flow and improving patient outcomes in peripheral arterial disease or dialysis access maintenance.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included balloon compliance, burst pressure, fatigue, shaft burst pressure, bond strength, catheter dimensions, and guidewire/introducer compatibility. No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Coaxial lumen catheter with semi-compliant balloon; hydrophilic coating on distal shaft; radiopaque marker bands; compatible with 0.018" guidewires; available in diameters 2.0-7.0mm and lengths 20-120mm; usable lengths 90cm or 130cm. Biocompatible materials.

## Regulatory Identification

A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

## Predicate Devices

- Cordis SAVVY™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter

| Device Description                    | The SUBMARINE PLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a catheter<br>with a semi-compliant inflatable balloon mounted at the distal tip.<br>It has a coaxial lumen. The central lumen of the catheter, which<br>terminates at the distal tip, is used to pass the catheter over a<br>guidewire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.018 inch (0.45 mm).<br>The other lumen is the balloon inflation lumen, which is used to<br>inflate and deflate the dilatation balloon with a mixture of contrast<br>medium and saline solution. The catheter tapers beneath the balloon<br>segment to achieve the lowest possible deflated profile. Two<br>radiopaque marker bands are placed under the balloon segment of<br>the catheter shaft to provide visual reference points for balloon                   |

| Summary of Substantial<br>Equivalence | The SUBMARINEPLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter is similar to<br>the predicate with respect to the intended use, and with respect to<br>their physical characteristics, such the catheter and balloon<br>dimensions and catheter design and material. SAILOR PLUS<br>Balloon Dilatation Catheter is therefore substantially equivalent to<br>the Predicate device. Further, the mechanical and biocompatibility<br>testing data is indicative of the safety and effectiveness of<br>SUBMARINE PLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter. Therefore based<br>on its own performance characteristics and the technological<br>similarities, SUBMARINE PLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter is<br>expected to perform similar to the predicate device and other<br>comparable, currently marketed PTA catheters. |
| Conclusion                            | SUBMARINE PLUS Balloon Dilatation Catheter is substantially<br>equivalent to the Predicate device and other currently marketed PTA<br>catheters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
