Intended Use

The Heli-FX EndoAnchor System is intended to provide fixation and sealing between endovascular aortic grafts and the native artery. The Heli-FX System is indicated for use in patients whose endovascular grafts have exhibited migration or endoleak, or are at risk of such complications, in whom augmented radial fixation and/or sealing is required to regain or maintain adequate aneurysm exclusion. The EndoAnchor may be implanted at the time of the initial endograft placement, or during a secondary (i.e., repair) procedure.

Device Story

Heli-FX EndoAnchor System provides mechanical fixation between endovascular aortic grafts and native artery. System components: EndoAnchor (helical nickel-cobalt wire suture), Heli-FX Applier (12Fr catheter), Heli-FX Guide (deflectable sheath). Physician operates system under fluoroscopic guidance to deploy anchors through graft into vessel wall. Anchors prevent graft migration and treat endoleaks. Used in clinical settings during initial endograft placement or secondary repair procedures. Benefits include improved graft stability and aneurysm exclusion.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance of modified packaging assessed via visual inspection, bubble emission testing, and pouch seal strength following transportation simulation and accelerated aging (two years equivalent).

Technological Characteristics

EndoAnchor: medical-grade nickel-cobalt wire, helical shape, sharpened conical tip. Applier: 12Fr catheter with control handle. Guide: deflectable sheath (12Fr ID, 16Fr/18Fr OD), compatible with 0.035" guide wire. Sterile, single-use, disposable. Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with endovascular aortic grafts exhibiting or at risk of migration or endoleak requiring augmented radial fixation or sealing to maintain aneurysm exclusion. Applicable for initial placement or secondary repair.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

## INTENDED USE:

The Heli-FX EndoAnchor System is intended to provide fixation and sealing between endovascular aortic grafts and the native artery. The Heli-FX System is indicated for use in patients whose endovascular grafts have exhibited migration or endoleak, or are at risk of such complications, in whom augmented radial fixation and/or sealing is required to regain or maintain adequate aneurysm exclusion.

The EndoAnchor may be implanted at the time of the initial endograft placement, or during a secondary (i.e., repair) procedure.

## PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The Heli-FX EndoAnchor System comprises the EndoAnchor implant (an intravascularly-applied suture, supplied in a Cassette containing 10 EndoAnchors), the Heli-FX Applier (a catheterbased device for placement of the EndoAnchor), and the Heli-FX Guide (a deflectable sheath to position the Applier).

The Aptus EndoAnchor is an endovascularly-placed suture designed to attach aortic endografts to the native vessel wall. The EndoAnchor is manufactured from medical-grade nickel-cobalt wire and is wound in a helical shape. The leading end is sharpened to a conical point to act as an integral needle facilitating atraumatic deployment through the graft material and vessel wall. The proximal end of the EndoAnchor includes a diagonal crossbar, which functions as a suture anchor designed to prevent over penetration of the EndoAnchor. Ten (10) EndoAnchors are pre-packaged into a cassette, which is supplied sterile to the user. The cassette is designed to facilitate easy and accurate loading of the EndoAnchor into the Applier catheter.

The Heli-FX Applier is designed to implant the Aptus EndoAnchor. The Applier implants one EndoAnchor at a time, and can be used to implant multiple EndoAnchors in a single patient. The Applier is designed for use with the Heli-FX Guide. The Applier is a 12Fr (OD) catheter with an integrated control handle. Two Applier lengths are available for anchoring in different regions of the aorta.

The Heli-FX Guide is a sterile, single use, disposable device designed to direct the Heli-FX Applier to the desired location for EndoAnchor implantation. The device is compatible with a 0.035" guide wire. The Heli-FX Guide consists of a 12 Fr-compatible (inner diameter) guide sheath with integrated control handle, and a matching 12 Fr OD obturator. Deflection of the distal tip of the catheter is accomplished by rotating the Control Knob located on the control handle. The Guide is available in both 62cm (16Fr OD) and 90cm (18Fr OD) working lengths. Multiple deflectable tip lengths are available to accommodate a range of aortic diameters. The Obturator is used during vessel access and is designed to follow the guide wire and provide access through tortuous vasculature.

## SPECIAL CONTROLS:

Special controls have been established for endovascular substring systems per 21 CFR 870.3460(b). These special controls include specific requirements related to biocompatibility,

sterility and shelf-life, performance testing, MR compatibility, electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety, labeling, and the prescription-only status of the devices.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The various components of the Heli-FX System covered in this submission are substantially equivalent in materials, method of operation, and intended use as the prior Heli-FX Systems cleared via K102333 and K121168. The devices themselves and their indications for use are identical to those cleared via the aforementioned the submissions; the only differences are in the product packaging. Where specific dimensional and performance differences exist, bench testing has shown that these differences do not present new risks.

#### DATA RELIED UPON FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The performance of the modified packaging for the Heli-FX devices was assessed via bench top testing. This testing included visual inspection of the package and product, bubble emission testing, and pouch seal strength on samples that underwent exposure to transportation simulation only, and again following exposure to environmental, transportation, and accelerated aging (two years' equivalent) conditioning. The results of this testing demonstrated that the new packaging is substantially equivalent to the previous packaging.

#### SUMMARY:

The data and information presented in this application, including bench testing, support a determination of substantial equivalence of the Heli-FX system with modified packaging as compared to the predicate devices.
