# 4. Device Description

The TurboHawk® Peripheral Plaque Excision System (TurboHawk Catheter and ev3 Cutter Driver) is designed for the treatment of de novo and restenotic calcified and noncalcified atherosclerotic lesions located in native peripheral arteries. When used in complex, hard, calcified lesions, the TurboHawk should be paired with the SpiderFX® Embolic Protection Device to mitigate any risk of distal embolization that may be

# TurboHawk® Peripheral Plaque Excision System 510(k) Summary

generated by the breakdown of heavily calcified plaque. The TurboHawk Catheter consists of a flexible shaft designed to track over a 0.014" guidewire. At the distal end of the TurboHawk Catheter is a small cutting assembly comprised of a rotating inner cutter contained within a tubular housing. The proximal end of the TurboHawk Catheter contains a connector and cutter positioning lever (thumb switch) designed to fit into the ev3 Cutter Driver. The ev3 Cutter Driver is a handheld, disposable, battery-driven unit which powers the system.

The TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System has two switches: 1) the ev3 Cutter Driver main power switch and 2) the TurboHawk Catheter thumb switch. The ev3 Cutter Driver main power switch supplies power to the device when turned ON. The TurboHawk Catheter thumb switch activates the drive shaft and engages the cutter when pulled proximally to the ON position. With the cutter engaged, the TurboHawk Catheter is slowly advanced across the lesion, shaving occlusive material from the artery. The excised tissue is captured and stored in the tip of the device. The cutting process is completed by advancing the TurboHawk Catheter thumb switch distally deactivating the drive shaft and disengaging the cutter. The TurboHawk Catheter thumb switch is fully advanced distally to the OFF position in order to pack the excised plaque into the tip. This cutting sequence is repeated as necessary to achieve the desired degree of plaque excision.

The TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System uses the following materials: stainless steel, polyimide, tecothane, pebax, nylon, delrin, PTFE, tungsten carbide, titanium, platinum/iridium, ABS, PVC, silicone, polypropylene and hydrophilic coating.

#### 5. Indications for Use

The TurboHawk® Peripheral Plaque Excision System is intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The TurboHawk is indicated for use in conjunction with the SpiderFX® Embolic Protection Device in the treatment of severely calcified lesions. The TurboHawk is NOT intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac, or renal vasculature.

#### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The proposed TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System is the identical device as the currently marketed TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System (K093301). The proposed and predicate devices share the following technological characteristics:

- . Fundamental scientific technology and operating principle
- t Design & Dimensions
- Materials .

# TurboHawk® Peripheral Plaque Excision System 510(k) Summary

Additionally, the indications for use, intended use, labeling, and Instructions For Use are similar between the proposed and marketed devices. The difference is including use of an ev3 embolic protection device when used in complex, hard, calcified lesions to mitigate risk of distal embolization that may be generated by the breakdown of heavily calcified plaque. Bench testing, in-vivo testing and clinical testing were performed to demonstrate the proposed use of the device with the embolic protection device met predetermined acceptance criteria.

# 7. Performance Testing Summary

To demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System to the predicate device, the technological characteristics and performance criteria were evaluated. Using internal Risk Analysis procedures, the following tests were performed:

- Compatibility Tests with Embolic Protection Device .
- In Vivo Studies .

The following tests were performed using the predicate TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System. Test results met the specified acceptance criteria and were included in K093301:

- Cutter Height .
- Cycle and Life ●
- Carbide Edge Attachment
- Driveshaft Torque Tests
- . Tensile tests
- Urge Force ●
- Trackability
- Spin Percentage
- Embolization
- Cut Mass Per Pass
- Tissue Removal
- Package Integrity
- Sterilization
- Biocompatibility
- Shelf Life

The results from these tests demonstrate that the technological characteristics and performance criteria of the TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System are comparable to the predicate device and that the TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate device currently on the market.

### 8. Clinical Summary

DEFINITIVE Cat+ was a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SilverHawk/TurboHawk and the SpiderFX embolic protection device for the treatment of moderate to severely calcified peripheral arterial disease in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. An independent Angiographic Core Laboratory and a Clinical Events Committee (CEC) were employed to ensure unbiased review and classification of events and endpoints. 133 subjects from 17 centers were enrolled. The primary safety and effectiveness endpoints were derived from historical registry data using plaque excision.

The proportion of subjects event-free (per Angiographic Core Laboratory review and CEC adjudication) after 30 days was assessed. The 30-day freedom from MAE rate was 93.1% (122/131). The primary effectiveness endpoint was successful revascularization of the target vessel (defined as less than or equal to 50% residual diameter stenosis following plaque excision), was assessed by the site as well as adjudicated by the angiographic core laboratory. Per angiographic core laboratory assessment, the primary effectiveness criterion (≤ 50% residual diameter stenosis) was achieved in 92.0% (150/163) of lesions. Per site assessment, the primary endpoint success criterion was achieved in 97.0% (162/167) of lesions.

### 9. Conclusions

Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, safety testing, performance testing, and clinical study results included in this submission, ev3 considers the proposed TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System (K093301).
