It is comprised of four principal components: the GuardWire Temporary Occlusion Catheter, the MicroSeal Adapter, the EZ Flator Inflation Device and the Export Aspiration Catheter. The GuardWire Plus System is a sterile, single use disposable device, packaged in a protective polyethylene tray covered by a polyethylene/Tyvek pouch. The pouch is then placed into a chipboard carton for protection during shipment. Both the pouch and the carton are labeled for easy product recognition. The GuardWire Plus System is available in the following configurations: | 2 6000 20 17 2000 11 21 2 6 1 160 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|--------|-------------|--| | Catalog | Wire | Wire | Balloon | | | Number | Diameter | Length | Range | | | G14-6-200 IDE | 0.014" | 200cm | - 6. Umm | | | G14-6-300 IDE | 0.014" | 300cm | 3.0 - 6.0mm | | ## Table 1: GuardWire Plus Configurations The GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion Catheter is a 0.014" diameter guidewire available in lengths of 200 and 300 centimeters. The industry standard 0.014" diameter of this device allows for the delivery of a wide range of diagnostic and interventional devices over its shaft. The shaft is coated with Teflon to limit the frictional forces encountered when passing therapy devices over the wire. The distal end of the GuardWire contains an inflatable elastomeric balloon designed to occlude the target vessel during emboli-causing procedures such as stenting or angioplasty. The balloon is fully compliant and exerts less than two atmospheres of pressure on the target vessel during occlusion. The GuardWire's occlusion balloon can accommodate vessel sizes ranging from 3mm in diameter. The distal tip of the wire is a shapeable radiopaque platinum coil similar to other standard guidewires. The GuardWire is used in conjunction with a removable adapter that assists in the inflation and deflation of the distal occlusion balloon. The MicroSeal Adapter provides a means for opening and closing the internal MicroSeal of the GuardWire which is a small valve internal to the GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion Catheter. When the MicroSeal Adapter is in the "OPEN" position, the GuardWire internal seal is opened. This establishes fluid access to the occlusion balloon through the hollow Nitinol GuardWire shaft. When the MicroSeal Adapter is in the "CLOSE MICROSEAL" position, the MicroSeal of the GuardWire closes. This discontinues fluid access to the occlusion balloon. This allows the occlusion balloon of the GuardWire to remain inflated in the absence of direct communication with an inflation device. {2}------------------------------------------------ | PercuSurge, Incorporated<br>Sunnyvale, California | PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in<br>the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment<br>of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts | |---------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Premarket Notification [510(k)]<br>Application | March 29, 2001 | #### GuardWire Plus catheter The proximal end of the GuardWire Plus catheter is able to control the flow of contrast fluid when used in conjunction with the MicroSeal Adapter. This is achieved by means of a micro-seal plug located on the proximal end of the GuardWire Plus catheter. The MicroSeal plug consists of a stainless steel wire that is formed to provide friction in the hypo-tube with a sealing member on the distal end. The plug is pushed in and out, hence the sealing member moves distal and proximal to the inflation port, via the MicroSeal Adapter pads that grip the wire plug and are moved in conjunction with the Adapter knob. An inflation port is positioned on the hypotube to line up with the inflation port on the Adapter to provide a continuous fluid path to inflate the occlusion balloon. Fluid is transferred from the EZ Flator to the Adapter through the hypo-tube to fill the occlusion balloon. Fluid, i.e., diluted contrast, passes through the distal end and into the elastomeric occlusion balloon via the laser coil. #### EZ Flator Inflation Device The EZ Flator is a controlled volume syringe system contained in a single housing that enables the exact amount of diluted contrast to fill the occlusion balloon to the appropriate size. The fluid is pushed through the extension tubing via a steel plunger pin that is controlled by the inflation dial. Once the hypo-tube is prepped and the pin is pushed past the distal o-ring, a seal is formed in the extension line. The volume of the plunger pin in the inflation syringe barrel distal to the distal o-ring equates to the volume of the balloon. Therefore, inflation of the balloon is achieved by turning the dial. which pushes the plunger pin forward, to the appropriate volume indicated on the dial pad. The deflation syringe barrel is used for prepping the hypo-tube and deflating the occlusion balloon. A handle is attached to the plunger to provide a vacuum to the deflation syringe barrel. The deflation syringe barrel is used only when the inflation dial is in the "0" position, i.e., when the plunger pin is positioned proximal to the distal o-ring, as shown below, thereby opening the fluid path. In the drawing below the housing and plunger handle are not shown. #### Export Aspiration catheter The Export Aspiration catheter is a dual lumen catheter. The smaller of the lumens is the wire lumen used to run over the GuardWire. The size of the wire lumen is sized so that the Export catheter may run over the GuardWire smoothly. The larger sized lumen is the aspiration lumen. Via the 20cc syringe and one-way stopcock attached to the proximal end of the Export, blood and debris is evacuated from the graft and into the syringe. {3}------------------------------------------------ | <i>PercuSurge, Incorporated</i><br>Sunnyvale, California | PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in<br>the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment<br>of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts | |----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Premarket Notification [510(k)]<br>Application | March 29, 2001 | #### MicroSeal Adapter The MicroSeal Adapter provides the mechanism to move the plug on the GuardWire catheter. Six grip pads are located on the Adapter, three on the upper half and three on the lower. Three wire clips are found on the lower half and are used for holding the wire firmly between the pads. The proximal pads are movable via the Adapter knob. The other four pads are immovable and are used to hold in place the GuardWire distal to the plug. Once the wire is placed in the Adapter and the knob is moved to the open position, the proximal pads slide, opening the plug. Diluted contrast flows through the Adapter via the inflation port. This port is sealed when the Adapter is closed and is lined up with the inflation port on the GuardWire when placed in the Adapter. #### Statement of Indications for Use The PercuSurge GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion & Aspiration System is indicated for use in the coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts to: - Contain and aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing ● percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or stenting procedures. - . To subselectively infuse/deliver diagnostic or therapeutic agents with or without vessel occlusion. - . The safety and effectiveness of this device as an embolic protection system has not been established in the cerebral, carotid or peripheral vasculature. {4}------------------------------------------------ PercuSurge, Incorporated Sunnyvale, California PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts Premarket Notification [510(k)] Application March 29, 2001 ## Technological Characteristics | Comparison<br>Feature: | TOBC:<br>GuardWire® System | GuardWire Temporary<br>Occlusion and Aspiration<br>System:<br>GuardWire® Plus System | |------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | System<br>Description: | The PercuSurge® GuardWire®<br>Temporary Occlusion Balloon (TOB)<br>System is comprised of three principal<br>components: the GuardWire®<br>Temporary Occlusion Catheter, the<br>MicroSeal™ Adapter and the Export®<br>Aspiration Catheter.

In summary, in all cases the GuardWire elastomeric occlusion balloon consistently occluded both 4 and 5mm vessels which were subjected to pressures recorded from 1.0-3.5 psi, and flow rates recorded from 70-85 cc/min. These conditions were selected because they {6}------------------------------------------------ | PercuSurge, Incorporated<br>Sunnyvale, California | PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in<br>the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment<br>of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts | |---------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Premarket Notification [510(k)]<br>Application | March 29, 2001 | represent the range of blood pressures and flow rates that the system is expected to see in clinical use. #### Fluid Evacuation The objective of this study was to demonstrate that using the individual system components listed below, different types of fluids (i.e. saline, water, 40% glycerol / 60% saline) can be evacuated from a vessel at a minimum rate of 0.5ml/sec. In all cases, the GuardWire System Accessory Catheter and ancillary components were capable of evacuating all three types of fluids. In addition the flow rates obtained exceeded the minimum specification of 0.5ml/sec as established in conjunction with the PercuSurge Medical Advisory Board. ## Particle Evacuation The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the individual PercuSurge System components identified below could be used to evacuate particulates that were representative of the type of debris that may be found in blood following interventional procedures. It is concluded from this testing that the GuardWire System Accessory (Export) Catheter and ancillary components are capable of evacuating at least 90% of particles. This meets the evacuation capability requirement established by PercuSurge and in conjunction with the PercuSurge Medical Advisory Board. All components performed according to their individual specifications. #### Infusion Flow Rate The purpose of this qualification is to demonstrate that the 8F Export® Aspiration Catheter meets pre-determined specifications and test acceptance criteria after EtO sterilization. These fluids were selected to characterize the Accessory Catheter infusion capabilities because they are fluids commonly infused in interventional applications. The testing conducted on the Export Aspiration Catheter demonstrates with the required statistical confidence that the current design meets all of the product specification requirements. {7}------------------------------------------------ | PercuSurge, Incorporated<br>Sunnyvale, California | PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in<br>the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment<br>of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts | |---------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Premarket Notification [510(k)]<br>Application | March 29, 2001 | #### Additional Laboratory Studies The evaluation of 40 aspirates from different phases of the therapeutic procedures provided an opportunity to further corroborate the animal studies by determining the nature of the material and its cellular component. The conclusion from this analysis is that the occlusion balloon and blood removal by aspiration did not affect the vessel wall in the study cohort. #### Animal Studies The PercuSurge GuardWire System has been studied in 8 separate animal safety and effectiveness studies and in accordance with the Instructions For Use. These pilot studies confirmed the feasibility of this technology. The GuardWire System was compatible with the interventional devices with which it was tested and it successfully occluded the target vessel. It was capable of delivering fluid and evacuating blood. Flow was restored easily after the conclusion of each study. Further, the histopathology results showed that the use of the device had no significant adverse effects on the vessel in which it was used. Four additional animal comparative studies were performed to demonstrate the improvements and ease of use in the design modifications on the GuardWire system (GuardWire Plus design). These studies were primarily oriented towards performance evaluation and demonstrated that the modified design was superior based on physician input. #### Additional Studies The first test entitled Particles in Motion Distal to the Therapy Balloon, was completed on 4/12/98 and addresses the question of whether particles would have a tendency to aggregate along the proximal side of the distal occlusion balloon prior to aspiration and after therapy. The analyses and studies indicate that the use of a distal or proximal occlusive device does not have an effect of particle movement from therapy dilation. The particles from therapy dilation would not aggregate at the balloon proximal surface during deflation or removal of the therapy balloon. The presence of a distal occlusion balloon would not be expected to enhance particle adherence to a stent due to minor oscillation of the particles from heart rhythm. {8}------------------------------------------------ | PercuSurge, Incorporated<br>Sunnyvale, California<br>Premarket Notification [510(k)]<br>Application | PercuSurge GuardWire System for Use in<br>the Percutaneous Interventional Treatment<br>of Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts<br>March 29, 2001 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ## Clinical Performance Data (SAFER Study Data Results Summary) ## Table 3.

TVR-Free = No clinically-driven repeat percutaneous intervention of the target vessel or bypass surgery of the target vessel. TVF-Free = No target vessel revascularization, MI, or death that could not be clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target vessel. and CE-Free = No death, Q wave or non-Q wave MI, emergent bypass surgery, or target vessel revascularization. In-Hospital MACE = Death, Q wave or non-Q wave MI, emergent bypass surgery, or target vessel revascularization prior to hospital discharge as determined by the independent Clinical Events Committee. Out-of-Hospital MACE = Death, Q wave or non-Q wave MI, emergent bypass surgery, or target vessel revascularization after hospital discharge, as determined by the independent Clinical Events Committee. Stent Thrombosis = Angiographic thrombus or subacute closure within the stented vessel, or any death not attributed to a non-cardiac cause in the absence of documented angiographic stent patency within the first 30 days. Bleeding Complications = Transfusions of blood products due to blood loss from the index percutaneous revascularization procedure. Vascular Complications = Hematoma at access site >4 cm, false aneurysm, AV fistula, retroperitoneal bleed, peripheral ischemia/nerve injury, procedure related transfusion or vascular surgical repair. thansfactor of Yestourical deficits recorded by the clinical sites that persisted >24 hours. Conclusions: The PercuSurge® GuardWire Plus™ System is compatible with routine angioplasty procedures, is capable on containing and retrieving atherosclerotic and thrombotic debris, and may aid in the prevention of distal embolization and "no-reflow" in diseased saphenous vein grafts. {13}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/13/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
