The Micrus Courier microcatheters are intended to assist in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils, into peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.
Device Story
Diagnostic intravascular catheter; used to deliver contrast media or occlusion coils into peripheral, coronary, or neuro vasculature. Features in-vivo shapeable tip; operator adjusts tip angle (±45° to ±90°) via external knob. Eliminates need to remove catheter for re-shaping to accommodate patient anatomy. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Used with standard accessories: guiding catheters, guidewires, rotating hemostatic valves, stopcocks, valves, femoral sheaths, and saline flush systems. Benefits include improved navigation and procedural efficiency by allowing real-time tip adjustment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Diagnostic intravascular catheter; 0.0170" diameter. Features mechanical in-vivo tip deflection mechanism controlled by an external knob. Compatible with standard 5-7F guiding catheters and guidewires. Non-powered, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic agents into peripheral, coronary, or neuro vasculature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

### PREDICATE DEVICE
Micrus@ Courier™ Pre-Shaped Microcatheter (reference: K061963)
#### INTENDED USE
The Micrus Courier microcatheters are intended to assist in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils, into peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170" in a diagnostic intravascular catheter with an in-vivo shapeable tip which deflects under operator control at an angle of ±45° to ±90° from the neutral position. The Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170"is designed with a feature which allows the clinician to adjust the catheter tip shape in-vivo by turning a knob. No shaping tool is required. This design feature allows the clinician to adjust the catheter tip shape to accommodate variations in patient anatomy without having to remove the catheter from the patient's body in order to re-shape it.
The accessories for the Micrus Courier Enzo Microcatheter 0.0170", which are not supplied as part of the sales unit, are identical to those for the Micrus Courier Pre-Shaped Microcatheters and include:
- . Guiding catheter (generally, 5-7F)
- Guidewire compatible with the microcatheter .
- . Rotating Hemostatic Valves (RHV); two (2) required
- . 3-way stopcock
- . 1-way valve
- Femoral sheath .
- Continuous Saline Flush Set-ups with Pressure Bags, one as a flush for the guiding . catheter and the other as a flush for the microcatheter
# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170"is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified previously. The Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170"is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regard to intended use, shape of distal tip angle, and function.
Verification testing conducted on the Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170" demonstrates the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and does not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness with respect to diagnostic intravascular catheters when used in accordance with its Instructions for Use.
#### CONCLUSION
As described in this 510(k)·Summary, Micrus Endovascular Corporation considers the Micrus® Courier Enzo™ Microcatheter 0.0170'' substantially equivalent to the Micrus® Courier™ Pre-Shaped Microcatheter based on a comparison of intended uses and the results of in-vitro tests.
