Intended Use
The PTA Balloon Catheter is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including illac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Device Story
PTA Balloon Catheter (PVQ) is a sterile, single-use, coaxial, dual-lumen balloon dilatation catheter. Device facilitates peripheral angioplasty by advancing a semi-compliant balloon over a guidewire (0.014, 0.018, or 0.035 inch) to a stenosis. Physician operates device under fluoroscopic guidance using radiopaque marker bands for positioning. Inflation/deflation occurs via a proximal luer-lock port. Device is used in clinical settings (e.g., interventional suites) to dilate obstructive lesions in peripheral arteries and dialysis fistulae. Benefits include restoration of vessel patency and improved blood flow. Optional hydrophilic coating reduces friction during advancement.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Performance verified via testing: surface inspection, dimension verification, trackability, pushability, simulated use (passage, flex/kink, torque), bending tests, deflation time, pressure testing (nominal/burst), dynamic friction, kink resistance, luer lock stress, bond strength, X-ray visibility, and biocompatibility (bioburden, endotoxin, hemolysis).
Technological Characteristics
Coaxial dual-lumen catheter; semi-compliant balloon (Nylon/Pebax); radiopaque Pt/Ir marker bands; hydrophilic coating (optional); 0.014/0.018/0.035 inch guidewire compatibility; 1.25-12.0 mm diameter; 10-280 mm length; Ethylene Oxide sterilization. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in peripheral arteries (iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal, renal) or treatment of obstructive lesions in native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 1.5. Purpose of Submission:
To introduce a line of OTW Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Dilatation Catheters (PVQ) to the marketplace.
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### 1.6. Device Description
The PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) is a sterile, single use, non-pyrogenic balloon catheter for peripheral indication. The device features an ultra-low profile, semi-compliant balloon combined with a low-profile tip.
The PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) has a coaxial shaft design. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon, and the wire lumen permits the use of 0.014 in (0.36 mm), 0.018 in (0.46mm), guidewires to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) features a dual lumen shaft that provides rapid inflation/deflation times for the catheters compatible with 0.035 in (0.89mm) guidewires. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures. The catheter includes a tapered tip to facilitate advancement of the catheter. The working lengths of the balloon catheter range between 10 mm and 280 mm. and are selected based on patient requirements for PTA. The radiopaque marker(s) (see RMD in Figure 1) are placed beneath the "usable balloon length" of the balloon and are visible when used in conjunction with fluoroscopy and aid in the placement of the balloon. The effective length could increase by 1 cm in a fully hydrated state.
Each balloon inflates to the stated diameter and length at a specific pressure. The maximum rated burst pressure is different for each size. It is important that the balloon not be inflated beyond the rated burst pressure.
The proximal portion of the catheter includes one female luer-lock port connected to the inflation lumen, and one female luer-lock port for the guidewire lumen. The devices can be supplied with and without hydrophilic coating. The hydrophilic coating when applied is applied proximally to the balloon for a length of 20 mm and 40 mm.
Each PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) is packaged as follows:
- . The balloon is protected within a protective tube with an inner lumen protective stainless-steel wire.
- The entire catheter is provided in a Polyethylene or Poly propylene Protectivetubing ● spiral dispenser.
- The protected catheter is placed in a Tyvec pouch, which is sealed to form the sterile ● barrier.
- Then the pouch is placed into an outer box. .
The PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) is used with commercially available sheath introducers, guide catheter and guidewires. These are not included with the PTA Balloon Catheter (PVQ).
### 1.7. Indication for Use:
The PTA Balloon Catheter (PVQ) is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### 1.8. Technological Characteristics:
The technological characteristics of the PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) are the same as for the predicate and reference devices as they have no significant differences in the materials, sterilization, specifications, design, and intended uses).
#### 1.9. Substantial Equivalence:
The PTA Balloon Catheters (PVQ) are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device (Cordis Savvy 18 - K971010), and the Bard Ultraverse PTA Catheters (K142261 - 0.035, K121856 - 0.018 and 0.014) as reference devices. The equivalence is supported by the attached documentation.
