• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

In selective areas of peripheral and coronary vessels, the Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is intended for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents that are indicated for delivery into the vessel wall or perivascular area. The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is also intended for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents intraluminally.

Device Story

Wire-guided, single-operator, endovascular catheter; features perpendicular microneedle contained within semi-rigid polymer actuator balloon. Device advanced to target peripheral or coronary vasculature; hydraulic actuation moves microneedle through external elastic lamina for delivery of diagnostic/therapeutic agents to adventitial and perivascular tissues. Compliant stabilizing balloon inflates with actuator to provide counter-force for needle seating; needle retracted via vacuum. Used by physicians in clinical settings for targeted drug delivery; benefits include localized treatment of vessel wall or perivascular areas, potentially improving therapeutic efficacy while minimizing systemic exposure.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing included mechanical and fluid delivery performance, biocompatibility (ISO 10993), and sterilization validation. In-vivo safety and effectiveness studies were conducted. All tests met pre-determined specifications and acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Wire-guided endovascular catheter; semi-rigid polymer actuator balloon; perpendicular microneedle; compliant stabilizing balloon. Materials are biocompatible per ISO 10993. Available in three model sizes (2-4 mm, 3-6 mm, 4-8 mm). Hydraulic actuation mechanism.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A continuous flush catheter is an attachment to a catheter-transducer system that permits continuous intravascular flushing at a slow infusion rate for the purpose of eliminating clotting, back-leakage, and waveform damping.

### Device Description

The Mercator MedSystems Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is a wire-guided, singleoperator, endovascular catheter that consists of a perpendicular microneedle, which is sheathed by and contained within a semi-rigid polymer actuator balloon. The device is designed to be advanced to target vasculature and hydraulically actuated to move the microneedle through the external elastic lamina to deliver substances to adventitial and perivascular tissues. A compliant stabilizing balloon inflates with the actuator to provide a force opposite the needle tip for proper seating of the needle is retracted within the sheathing structure by vacuuming the hydraulic actuator.

### Intended Use

In selective areas of peripheral and coronary vessels, the Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is intended for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents that are indicated for

The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warnings to assure safe and effective use of the device. The biocompatibility assessment was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices.

### Comparison to Predicate Devices

The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device has the same intended use, design and materials, mechanical safety, methods of introduction and methods of operation as the MicroSyringe II/Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device from K062752. The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device has new technological characteristics related to currently available model sizes, in comparison to the predicate. The Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device is available in three model sizes (2-4 mm, 3-6 mm and 4-8 mm), while the MicroSyringe II/Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device from K062752 was cleared with data from only one model size (3-6 mm). Risk analysis has shown that the Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device has the same risk profile as the predicate.
