Intended Use

Micrus Courier Flex Microcatheters are intended to aid in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, as well as therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils, into the peripheral, coronary and neurovasculature.

Device Story

Variable stiffness, single-lumen microcatheter; used to access small, tortuous vasculature. Physician-operated; used with guiding catheter and steerable guide wire. Features hydrophilic outer coating; PTFE-coated inner lumen; radiopaque marker bands for fluoroscopic visualization; shaft marker for insertion depth. Facilitates delivery of diagnostic agents (contrast media) or therapeutic agents (occlusion coils). Benefits patient by enabling navigation through complex vascular anatomy for targeted delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic materials.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Variable stiffness single-lumen catheter; hydrophilic outer coating; PTFE-coated inner lumen; radiopaque marker bands; luer fitting; steam shaping mandrel accessory. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring delivery of diagnostic contrast media or therapeutic occlusion coils into peripheral, coronary, or neurovasculature.

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.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Micrus Courier Flex Microcatheters are variable stiffness, single lumen catheters designed to aid the physician in accessing small, tortuous vasculature when used with a guiding catheter and steerable guide wire. Multiple levels of stiffness ranging from a highly flexible tip to a semi-rigid proximal section along the length of the catheter are designed to aid the physician in tracking over guide wires without displacement of the wire. The microcatheters have an outer hydrophilic coating that reduces friction during manipulation in the vessel. The lubricious PTFE-coated inner lumen is designed to facilitate movement of guide wires and other devices. A shaft marker, located 90 cm from the distal tip, is provided to expedite microcatheter insertion to the depth of standard guide catheters (90 cm long). Two marker bands, one at the catheter tip and another 3 cm proximal to the tip, are radiopaque to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. A luer fitting located on the end of the catheter hub can be used to attach accessories. All microcatheters are packaged with a steam shaping mandrel accessory.

## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Micrus Courier Flex Microcatheter is substantially equivalent to the Micrus Courier Microcatheter in terms of intended use, design, specifications, and materials. The microcatheter is intended to aid in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, as well as therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils, into the peripheral, coronary and neurovasculature. The Micrus Courier Flex Microcatheter uses the same methods and materials in construction, packaging, and sterilization as its predicates. The modification to the device has not altered the fundamental technology of the predicate devices.

### CONCLUSION

As described in this 510(k) Summary, Micrus Endovascular Corporation considers the Micrus Courier Flex Microcatheter to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
