Intended Use

The proposed Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter is intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via placement in the vena cava in the following situations: Pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated; Failure of anticoagulant therapy in thromboembolic diseases; Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced; and chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism where anticoagulant therapy has failed or is contraindicated. The Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter may be retrieved according to the instructions supplied in the section labeled: Optional Retrieval Procedure. The Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Filter Set has been designed for retrieval of an implanted Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter in patients who no longer require a filter. Retrieval of the filter can be performed only by the jugular approach.

Device Story

Intravascular filter designed for placement in vena cava to prevent pulmonary embolism; conical design with four legs. Available in femoral, jugular, or universal sets. Introduced via 8.5 French coaxial sheath system; includes pre-loaded filter, introducer, hydrophilic coated dilator, and three-way stopcock. Used by physicians in clinical settings. Optional retrieval set allows removal of filter via jugular approach for patients no longer requiring therapy. Device is sterile, single-use. Benefits include mechanical prevention of thromboembolism in patients where anticoagulation is not viable.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included tensile, flow rate, static burst, three-point bend, drop, biocompatibility, and accelerated aging tests to ensure design and performance conformance.

Technological Characteristics

Conical, four-leg filter design. 8.5 French coaxial introducer sheath system. 71 cm long power-injectable dilator. Hydrophilic coating. Sterile, single-use. Mechanical device; no software or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism due to contraindication or failure of anticoagulant therapy, or following massive pulmonary embolism where conventional therapy benefits are reduced. Includes optional retrieval for patients no longer requiring the filter.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A cardiovascular intravascular filter is an implant that is placed in the inferior vena cava for the purpose of preventing pulmonary thromboemboli (blood clots generated in the lower limbs and broken loose into the blood stream) from flowing into the right side of the heart and the pulmonary circulation.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) “Use of International Standards Organization's ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ” and (2) FDA's: (i) “510(k) Sterility Review Guidance and Revision of 2/12/90 (K90-1)” and (ii) “Guidance for Cardiovascular Intravascular Filter 510(k) Submissions.”

set is introduced through the jugular vein. The universal set includes both femoral and jugular vein versions. The device consists of a pre-loaded filter introducer, a coaxial introducer sheath system, a hydrophilic coated dilator, and a three-way stopcock. The filter is introduced and placed via an 8.5 French coaxial introducer sheath system. The introducer dilator is an 8.5 French power injectable dilator that is 71 centimeters long. The basic design of the filter is conical with four legs. The filter is supplied sterile in peel-open packages and intended for one-time use.

# Substantial Equivalence:

Cook Incorporated currently markets the predicate Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter, which is substantially equivalent to the Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter subject of this submission. The similar indications for use and technological characteristics of the Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter as compared to the predicate device support a determination of substantial equivalence.

# Test Data:

The proposed Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter was subjected to the following tests to assure reliable design and performance under the specified testing parameters.

- Tensile Testing 제
- I Flow Rate Testing
- Static Burst Testing
- 트 Three-Point Bend Testing
- Drop Testing
- Biocompatibility Testing
- 체 Accelerated Aging Testing

The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use.
