The Nfocus Neuromedical Acta Vessel Occlusion System (VOS) is indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature specifically within the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
Device Story
Acta VOS is a sterile, single-use, self-expandable ovoid implant designed for vascular occlusion. Constructed from double-layer Nitinol wire mesh with platinum marker bands at proximal and distal ends. Delivered via commercially available catheters; detachment from delivery device achieved by operator activation of delivery handle. Used in peripheral vasculature (abdominal/thoracic cavities) to create physical barrier for embolization. Intended for use by physicians. Benefits patient by providing controlled vascular occlusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing includes dimensional, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, force to deploy, recapture force, radial force, MRI compatibility, radiopacity, fatigue, and simulated device use.
Indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature, specifically within the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).

#### Device Description:
The Acta "Vessel Occlusion System (VOS) is provided sterile and is intended for one-time use. The implant is a self-expandable, ovoid shaped implant with delivery device. The implant is made from a double layer of Nitinol wire mesh which is secured at proximal and distal ends with platinum marker bands. The delivery device allows the implant to be delivered through commercially available catheters. Detachment of the implant from the delivery device is achieved by operator activation of the delivery handle.
Amplatzer Vascular plug
#### Intended Use:
The Acta VOS is indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to the Predicate Device: The Acta VOS uses similar technology, has similar intended use, functions and method of operation as the predicate device.

## Summary of Studies: ·
As per the guidance for Abbreviated 510(k)s and the applicable standards, performance, sterilization and biocompatibility testing will be conducted and the results of the testing will verify that the Acta VOS product and system requirements are met ensuring that the product design conforms to the user needs and intended uses.
The following tests have been or will be performed prior to commercialization:
#### Delivery System
- Dimensional .
- Tensile Strength
- Corrosion Resistance
- Force to Deploy
#### Implant
- Dimensional .
- Tensile Testing
- Recapture Force
- Radial Force
- Corrosion
- MRI Compatibility
- Radiopacity
- Fatigue
- System • Simulated Device Use
## Conclusion:
NFocus Neuromedical considers the Acta VOS to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device with respect to the device design, intended use, patient population and anatomical site. Any differences in technological characteristics between the Acta VOS and the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. O'Holla:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
