Device Facts

• Record ID: K023116
• Device Name: CORDIS OPTEASE PERMANENT VENA CAVA FILTER, MODELS 466-F200A, 466-F200B
• Applicant: Cordis Corp.
• Product Code: DTK · Cardiovascular
• Decision Date: Oct 18, 2002
• Decision: SESU
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 870.3375
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The OptEase™ is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via permanent, percutaneous placement in the inferior vena cava in the following situations: pulmonary thromboembolism when anticoagulants are 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.

Device Story

System consists of flexible, self-expanding vena cava filter deployed via 6F sheathed introduction kit; includes VisEase Angiographic Vessel Dilator for visualization/measurement. Filter traps large, life-threatening emboli in infra-renal inferior vena cava to prevent pulmonary embolism while maintaining caval patency. Used by physicians in clinical settings. Design modifications include adjusted fixation hook configuration and addition of caudal filter extension. Output is physical entrapment of emboli; clinical benefit is reduction of recurrent pulmonary embolism risk in patients where anticoagulation is contraindicated or failed.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical data provided. Evidence based on bench testing and animal studies. In-vitro testing included visual/dimensional inspections, pull strength/friction tests, simulated deployment, kink resistance, and migration resistance. In-vivo testing consisted of two animal study parts: filter implantation with and without simulated thrombo-embolic load.

Technological Characteristics

Self-expanding vena cava filter; 6F sheathed introduction kit; includes VisEase Angiographic Vessel Dilator. Materials and design equivalent to predicate. Complies with ISO-10993 for biological evaluation. Sterilization per FDA guidance. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism via permanent inferior vena cava placement, specifically those with contraindications to anticoagulants, failure of anticoagulant therapy, or emergency treatment for massive pulmonary embolism.

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.”
