Device features an hour-glass shaped dilatation balloon on the distal end of a catheter; inserted via femoral artery through an introducer sheath; advanced retrograde over a 0.035" guidewire to the aortic valve. Balloon inflation dilates stenotic aortic valve leaflets to increase valve opening dimensions and systemic blood flow. Hour-glass shape minimizes over-dilatation of the valve annulus while maximizing leaflet opening via bulbous proximal segments. Used by physicians in clinical settings. Output is mechanical dilation of valve tissue; healthcare providers use fluoroscopic guidance to position and monitor the device. Benefits include improved leaflet mobility and increased valve opening in patients with aortic stenosis. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance evaluation included balloon rated burst pressure, compliance, deflation times, repeat inflation, leak, tensile, kink, and torque testing. Additional bench testing evaluated durability and radial force when used as a post-dilatation balloon in self-expanding TAVR procedures. ## Technological Characteristics Balloon made of clear semi-compliant polymeric material. Hour-glass shape with waist/bulb diameters of 17/22, 21/26, or 23/28 mm. Catheter length 110 cm; compatible with 12F introducer sheath and 0.035" guidewire. Radiopaque platinum iridium marker bands at waist and balloon shoulders. Sterilized; single-use. ## Regulatory Identification A balloon aortic valvuloplasty catheter is a catheter with a balloon at the distal end of the shaft, which is intended to treat stenosis in the aortic valve when the balloon is expanded. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls).

Modified Device | None | {4}------------------------------------------------ #### 7.2 PREDICATE DEVICE The modified device is substantially equivalent to the InterValve V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter (K133607) and the Z-Med/Z-Med II (K122012). ### 7.3 DEVICE DESCRIPTION The V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter System features an hour glass shaped dilatation balloon on the distal end of a catheter. The catheter is inserted through a percutaneous entry site into the common femoral artery via an introducer sheath and advanced retrograde to the aortic valve. The catheter is always delivered over a guidewire. The balloon is then inflated to dilate the stenotic aortic valve leaflets in an effort to increase valve opening dimensions and systemic blood flow by improving leaflet mobility. The hour glass shaped balloon, with the undersized waist segment, is intended to minimize over-dilatation of the valve annulus while allowing the full dilation of the valve leaflet. The bulbous proximal balloon segment is appropriately sized for the patient's aortic root dimensions to maximize valve leaflet opening. #### 7.4 INTENDED USE The V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter is intended to dilate aortic valve tissue. There is no change in intended use from the V8 predicate device. #### 7.5 INDICATIONS FOR USE The V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter is indicated for Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty. There is no change in the indications for use from the predicate devices. #### 7.6 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS The V8 balloon is made of clear semi-compliant polymeric material. The balloon is available in four sizes (waist/bulb diameters of 17/22 mm, 21/26 mm, 21/26 mm and 23/28 mm). The waist of the hour glass balloon is sized such that it is smaller than the bulb diameter up to the rated burst pressure. The V8 balloon is intended to provide a means for dilation of stenotic aortic valve tissue while minimizing dilation of the aortic annulus by virtue of its hour glass shape. The catheter is currently available in a 110 cm length and is compatible with a 12F introducer sheath. It is introduced through the femoral artery via the introducer sheath and tracked over a 0.035" wire. The catheter's inner shaft beneath the balloon is marked with radiopaque platinum iridium marker bands, two at the center of the waist, and one each at the outside edges of the proximal and distal balloon shoulders. The catheter is packaged in a heat sealed Tyvek pouch and provided sterilized. It is intended for single use only. These characteristics are identical to the predicate V8 device. #### 7.7 PERFORMANCE DATA The performance testing performed during design verification and shelf life testing were not repeated because the design and materials of the device remain the same as the V8 predicate. Therefore there are no changes to the performance or safety of the predicate V8 device. The testing performed during the predicate design verification included: {5}------------------------------------------------ - Balloon rated burst pressure ● - Balloon compliance - Critical dimension verifications ● - Guidewire and introducer compatibility - o Deflation times - Repeat inflation o - Leak o - Tensile ● - Kink ● - Torque Additional bench testing for the use of the V8 as a post-dilatation balloon in a self-expanding TAVR included: - The durability of the V8 when used in conjunction with a self-expanding TAVR ● - The radial force exerted on a simulated annulus by a V8 and cylindrical balloon ● within a self-expanding TAVR The proposed change to the V8 device labeling does not affect the requirements of the special controls because no design changes have been made to the predicate K133607 V8 device. | Special Control Requirement | Evidence of Conformity | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The device should be demonstrated
to be biocompatible. | The proposed change does not affect the
biocompatibility of the device. The
biocompatibility test data were provided in the
K123111 submission. There were no new materials
added. | | Sterility and shelf life testing should
demonstrate the sterility of patient-
contacting components and the
shelf-life of these components. | The sterile packaging and shelf carton are identical
to the predicate V8 device. The worst case device is
identical to the predicate device. Therefore the
sterility data provided previously is applicable. The
sterilization validation test results provided in the
510(k) notification K123111 is applicable to this
device.
Shelf life testing was not repeated because there
were no design changes to the predicate V8 device.
Shelf life testing data is provided in the K133607
submission. | | Non-clinical performance
evaluation of the device should
demonstrate substantial equivalence
in terms of safety and effectiveness
for device delivery, inflation,
deflation, and removal. | Design verification testing was not repeated because
there were no design changes made. Test data can
be found in the K133607 submission.
Additional bench testing was performed and is
summarized in Section 11.5 of this submission. | | In vivo evaluation of the device
should demonstrate device | The shape of the device has not changed and the
principles of operation are also the same.

summary of the device-related and
procedure-related complications
pertinent to use of the device. | The IFU contains "Potential Complications,
Outcomes, Adverse Events" section. | #### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 7.8 The V8 device covered by this submission is substantially equivalent to the V8 predicate device (K133607) and the Z-Med predicate device (K122012). The device intended use has not changed and the overall design principles are the same. There has been no change to the general design or materials of the balloon. The V8 device covered by this submission has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared V8 predicate device. The differences between this device and the V8 predicate do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy. #### 7.9 CONCLUSION The modified V8 Transluminal BAV Catheter System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K133607 and K122012) in design, materials, function and intended use. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/OZT/K150343](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/OZT/K150343) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
