The Triever20 Curve (21-201) is used coaxially within the Triever24 for: · The non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. · Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel. The Triever20 Curve (21-201) is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism. The Triever20 Curve (21-201) Catheter is not indicated for use with FlowTriever Catheters. Triever20 Curve (21-201) is also intended for use in treating clot in transit in the right atrium, but not in conjunction with FlowTriever Catheters.

Device Story
Triever20 Curve (21-201) is a single-use, over-the-wire embolectomy catheter for minimally invasive treatment of thromboemboli. Device is inserted over a 0.035" guidewire through a Triever24 catheter to the thrombus site. Proximal hemostasis valve allows rotation to target the angled tip. After dilator removal, thrombus is aspirated using a 60 cc large-bore syringe. Used in peripheral vasculature, pulmonary arteries, and right heart. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Modifications from reference device include length increase, material changes in shaft jacket and hemostasis valve, upgraded dilator, locking cap for garrote valve, and multifilar coil reinforcement. Benefits include effective clot removal via aspiration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including simulated use (track, torque, tensile), vacuum resistance, clot burden removal validation, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1).
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, over-the-wire embolectomy catheter. Materials: Pebax 72D/55D/35D shaft, 304V stainless steel multifilar coil, polyblend/braided polyester hemostasis valve. Dimensions: 20 Fr OD, 111 cm length. 225° tip angle. Sterilization: EtO (ISO 11135). Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from peripheral vasculature, pulmonary arteries, and right heart (clot in transit). Also for injection, infusion, or aspiration of fluids/contrast media. Contraindicated for vessels < 8 mm. Must be used coaxially within Triever24; not for use with FlowTriever catheters.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An embolectomy catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter that is used to remove thromboemboli, i.e., blood clots which have migrated in blood vessels from one site in the vascular tree to another.

## Dear Anthony Lam:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

| Description | Triever20 Curve, Model 21-201 is a single-use over-the-wire catheter used for the<br>minimally invasive treatment of thromboemboli in the peripheral vasculature and the<br>treatment of pulmonary embolism. A Dilator is provided with the Triever20 Curve<br>Catheter to assist in its advancement over a preplaced 0.035" guidewire to the<br>proximal end of the obstruction (thrombus). The Triever24 Catheter is inserted<br>through an introducer sheath (not provided). After Triever24 Catheter placement, the<br>Dilator is removed. The Triever20 Curve Catheter is then inserted through the<br>Triever24 Catheter and advanced to the thrombus. Thrombus is removed by aspiration<br>with the provided 60 cc Large Bore Syringe. |

| Device<br>Modifications | The device modifications associated with implementing the Triever20 Curve are:<br>A. Removed the Y-connector from the packaging<br>B. Increase in overall catheter length from 43.38" to 43.76"<br>C. Shaft jacket length change<br>D. Hemostasis valve septum and monofilament material change<br>E. Upgraded dilator<br>F. Garrote valve updated to include locking cap for the dilator<br>G. Tapered distal tip change<br>H. Replaced braid and coil with multifilar coil<br>I. Backer card changes | | |
| Comparison of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics with<br>the Predicate Device | The proposed modifications do not change the intended use or principles of operation<br>from the predicate device. The modified and reference device have a similar design<br>and mainly differ in dimensions and materials.<br><br>The modified Triever20 Curve and Triever20 Curve are both tracked over a pre-placed<br>compatible guidewire. The Triever20 Curve Generation 2 performs thrombectomy<br>using aspiration, following the same method as the reference Triever20 Curve.<br><br>Although the predicate and subject devices have different technological<br>characteristics, all leveraged and performed design verification and validation tests<br>confirm that these differences do not raise any new or different questions of safety or<br>effectiveness. | | |
| Summary of<br>substantial<br>equivalence | There is no change of intended use or fundamental scientific technology between the<br>proposed device, reference, and predicate device. Aside from device modifications,<br>the Triever20 Curve has the same indications for use as the predicate device,<br>K213402: both are indicated for the non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from<br>blood vessels and the injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other<br>fluids into or from a blood vessel. Both are intended for use in the peripheral<br>vasculature, for the treatment of pulmonary embolism, and for use in treating clot in<br>transit in the right atrium but not in conjunction with FlowTriever Catheters.<br>A tabular comparison of specific technological characteristics between the reference<br>and subject device is provided below: | | |
