Indications for Use

The COOK® MBC PTCA balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.

Device Story

The COOK® MBC PTCA balloon dilatation catheter is a double-lumen catheter with a distal balloon, used by interventional cardiologists during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The device is inserted over a 0.014-inch guide wire under fluoroscopic guidance. The balloon, constructed of high-density polyethylene, is inflated using a liquid medium via an external indeflator to dilate stenotic coronary lesions or bypass grafts. Two radiopaque marker bands facilitate positioning. The device serves as either definitive therapy or as a predilatation tool prior to stent placement. By restoring vessel patency, it improves myocardial perfusion and relieves ischemia. It is intended for single-use in a hospital setting with immediate access to surgical backup.

Clinical Evidence

Multicenter, prospective registry study of 150 patients (mean age 62, 65% male) undergoing elective PTCA. Primary endpoints included procedural success and 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, Q-wave MI, CABG, or repeat PTCA). Results: 137 patients treated with the MBC balloon; 22 balloon-only, 115 balloon-plus-stent. 30-day MACE rate was 0.9% (95% CI: 0.0, 3.7). No clinical data for long-term outcomes beyond 30 days. Bench testing confirmed balloon burst strength, fatigue resistance, and inflation/deflation times.

Technological Characteristics

Double-lumen catheter, 135 cm length, 3.5 Fr proximal/3.0 Fr distal OD. Balloon material: high-density polyethylene. Radiopaque marker bands for fluoroscopy. Compatible with 0.014-inch guide wires. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (10^-6 SAL). No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis evidencing coronary ischemia, requiring balloon dilatation to improve myocardial perfusion. Contraindicated in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery or coronary artery spasm without significant stenosis.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Standard PTCA Catheter: A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion. Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter: A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.

General Information Generic Name of the Device: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty catheter Device Trade Name: COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter PMA Number: P990008 Name/Address of Applicant: COOK® INCORPORATED 925 South Curry Pike P.O. Box 489 Bloomington, IN 47402 ## II. Indications for Use The COOK® MBC PTCA balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. ## III. Contraindications - Unprotected left main coronary artery. - Coronary artery spasm in the absence of a significant stenosis thought to be of hemodynamic significance. ## IV. Warnings and Precautions ### A. Warnings - This device is intended for one time use only. Do NOT resterilize and/or reuse it. - Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used. - The inflated diameter of the balloon should approximate the diameter of the coronary artery just proximal and distal to the stenosis. The danger of coronary dissection increases as the balloon to artery ratio increases past 1-to-1. - The catheter system should be used only by physicians thoroughly trained in the performance of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {2} - When the catheter is in the body, it should be manipulated while under high-quality fluoroscopic observation. Do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum. If strong resistance is met during manipulation, discontinue the procedure and determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding. - Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure. Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over-pressurization. - PTCA should only be performed at hospitals where emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be immediately performed in the event of a potentially injurious or life-threatening complication. A cardiac surgery team must be on alert when a PTCA procedure is being performed. - Use only the appropriate balloon inflation medium. Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon. - Use the catheter prior to the “Use Before” date specified on the package. ### B. Precautions - Before insertion of the dilatation catheter, administer appropriate anticoagulant, antiplatelet, and coronary vasodilator therapy. - Caution should be taken not to over tighten a Tuohy-Borst type hemostatic adapter around the dilatation catheter shaft as lumen constriction may occur, affecting inflation/deflation of the balloon. ### V.

Summary of Non-clinical Studies A. Summary of the Nonclinical Laboratory Studies (In-vitro) Balloon Minimum Burst Strength Test Fifteen (15) balloon catheters of each size were tested to determine the rated burst Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {4} pressure. The burst pressure data were analyzed using factors for one-sided tolerance to determine with 95% confidence that 99.9% of these balloons would not burst at or below the calculated rated burst pressure. The results are presented in Table 1. All balloon catheters had rated burst pressures of ≥ 12 atm. To provide an additional margin of safety, all balloons are labeled with a recommended pressure of 11 atm. Table 1.

Note: Values of balloon diameter printed were measured up to 25% above the rated burst pressure (shaded area) for the specified balloon. ## Balloon Inflation/Deflation Time Test Two (2) catheters of each size were tested to show that the inflation and deflation times for these catheters are within clinically acceptable limits. All the balloons inflated in no more than four (4) seconds and deflated in less than fourteen (14) seconds. Inflation times for all 16 balloon sizes were similar, averaging 3.1 ± 0.4 seconds. Deflation times were more closely related to balloon size, with larger diameter, longer balloons deflating more slowly than smaller balloons. These inflation/deflation times are similar to those of devices currently on the market and are adequate for the intended use. Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK®MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {7} # Balloon Fatigue Test Thirty (30) catheters of each size were tested to determine with 95% confidence that at least 90% of the balloons will sustain 40 repeated inflations to the maximum recommended pressure (11 atm). All test samples successfully passed this fatigue test. The COOK® MBC PTCA balloon catheter should have adequate fatigue resistance when used according to the Instructions for Use. # Bond Strength Test Twenty (20) catheters of various sizes were tested to determine the strength of bonds in the catheter. Two bond sites were tested for this report. Test loads exceeded the strength of the 3 Fr bulk material before either bond site failed. Therefore, the strength of the bond sites is considered adequate for the intended use. # Catheter Diameter and Balloon Profile All PTCA catheters of the current design have a shaft that is 3.5 Fr OD (0.044 ± 0.0015 inch) at its proximal end and 3.0 Fr OD (0.04 ± 0.0015 inch) along its distal most 25 cm. Catheters of each size were tested to determine the largest outside diameter along the distal half of the working length of the balloon and catheter tip when the catheter is in its deflated state. Table 4 presents the results of this test.

Deflated Balloon Profile | Balloon Catheter (mm) | Largest Outer Diameter (in) | | --- | --- | | 2.5X15 | 0.044 | | 2.5X20 | 0.043 | | 2.5X30 | 0.042 | | 2.5X45 | 0.044 | | 3.0X15 | 0.047 | | 3.0X20 | 0.047 | | 3.0X30 | 0.047 | | 3.0X45 | 0.048 | | 3.5X15 | 0.057 | | 3.5X20 | 0.057 | | 3.5X30 | 0.056 | | 3.5X45 | 0.058 | | 4.0X15 | 0.059 | | 4.0X20 | 0.061 | | 4.0X30 | 0.058 | | 4.0X45 | 0.060 | ## Over-the-Arch Torque Strength Test Ten (10) catheters of various sizes were tested to determine the torque strength of the catheter when its distal tip is not free to rotate. With the distal tip prevented from rotating, a high number of catheter rotations (in excess of 70) is needed to cause the catheter to fail. It is unlikely the catheter would be subjected to this number of rotations in clinical use. ## Over-the-Arch Torque Response Test Five (5) catheters of different sizes were tested to evaluate the torque response characteristics of the catheter by analyzing the degree of distal tip rotation for a given proximal end rotation. Ten complete rotations of the proximal end of the catheter produced no rotation of the distal end. The balloon catheter did not transmit enough torque to cause the distal end to rotate when torque was applied to the proximal end. ## B. Animal Testing (In-vivo) Animal testing was not required on this device. {9} # C. Biocompatibility Testing Appropriate compliance with the criteria specified for material and biocompatibility toxicity testing was undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the PTCA Catheter System Testing Guidance Document and Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices prepared by the Toxicology Sub-Group of the Tripartite Subcommittee on Medical Devices in September of 1986. The tests performed to establish biocompatibility were conducted by an independent laboratory (NamSA®, Northwood, OH) and included: 1. Delayed Contact Sensitization (Guinea Pig Maximization Method) 2. Irritation (U.S.P. Intracutaneous Toxicity Study in the Rabbit) 3. Cytotoxicity (U.S.P. MEM Elution Test) 4. Systemic Toxicity (U.S.P. Mouse Systemic Toxicity Test) 5. Hemolysis (Extraction Method) 6. Implantation (7 Day Rabbit Muscle Implant Test) 7. Mutagenicity (Ames Salmonella Mutagenicity Assay with Saline and DMSO Extracts) The results of these tests provided no evidence to suggest that the device is not biocompatible. # D. Sterilization, Packaging and Shelf-Life Testing COOK® Incorporated sterilizes devices using a sterilization cycle that has been validated to a $10^{-6}$ sterility assurance level. This process is routinely monitored, calibrated and operated in adherence with the Guidance for Industrial Ethylene Oxide Sterilization of Medical Devices: Association for the Advancement of Medical Instruction. COOK® Incorporated has tested to determine the resistance data (D-value) for the product in the package. The design and raw materials of the balloon catheter as well as its proposed packaging raise no new questions regarding sterility of the device when subjected to the validated sterilization cycles. The COOK® MBC PTCA balloon catheter is packaged in a peel-pouch system that is currently used for previously approved, commercially available devices. The shelf life studies reveal that the package configuration and materials provides an acceptable bacterial barrier and that two years is an appropriate sterility expiration period.

Summary of the Clinical Investigation This study was intended to collect data regarding procedural success and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events in patients treated for myocardial ischemia with the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Catheter. This study was designed as a multicenter, prospective registry in which 150 patients eligible for elective coronary angioplasty who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled from 6 investigative sites. Recognizing there are numerous PTCA balloon catheters available for performing conventional angioplasty, none is considered the “gold standard.” Therefore, no contemporary control group was justifiable for performing a randomized, controlled study. ## A. Structured Abstract **Title:** A Multicenter Registry Evaluating the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Catheter for Dilating the Stenotic Portion of a Coronary Artery or Bypass Graft for the Purpose of Improving Myocardial Perfusion **Investigators:** Six (6) U.S. sites participated. In addition to the 5 principal investigators, 23 other physicians served as operators using the MBC PTCA Balloon Catheter during this study. **Purpose:** To evaluate procedural success and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events including death, Q-wave MI, CABG or repeat PTCA within 30 days of the procedure in which the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter was used. **Design:** A multicenter, prospective registry study to collect: 1) qualitative and quantitative angiographic data recorded by both the investigators during the procedure and by post-procedure independent core lab analysis; and 2) data to assess the incidence of clinically significant ischemic events including death, Q-wave MI, CABG, and repeat PTCA of the culprit vessel. **Demographics:** One hundred fifty (150) patients were enrolled in the MBC Balloon Catheter Clinical Study. Mean age = 62 ± 11 years, 65% were male, 33% were diabetic, 29% were obese, 64% were hypertensive, 67% had high cholesterol, 12% had prior PTCA to the culprit lesion, 16% had prior CABG, 42% had prior MI, 63% had multiple vessel disease, and a mean LVEF=50%. The culprit vessels were LAD (43%), LCX Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {11} (17%), RCA (34%), RAMUS (2%), and the SVG (4%). Key lesion characteristics included lesion class of B₂ and C (41%), moderate or severe tortuosity (28%), diffuse disease (24%), calcification (6%), and branch point (11%). Mean lesion length was 9.97±4.97 mm. **Method:** Demographics, clinical and procedural angiographic data were collected from 150 patients consecutively enrolled. QCA was performed by the Cardiovascular Angiography Analysis Lab at The Methodist Hospital Center in Houston, Texas. **Conclusions:** Of the 150 patients enrolled in the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Catheter registry, 13 patients were not treated with the MBC balloon catheter and 137 underwent dilatation with the MBC balloon catheter. Twenty-two (22) patients were treated with the MBC balloon catheter only. In 115 patients, the MBC balloon was used to predilate the vessel prior to placing a stent. The 30-day combined incidence of death, Q-wave MI and target lesion revascularization was 0.9% [95% CI = 0.0, 3.7] for all patients enrolled in the clinical study (N=150). These results indicate that the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Catheter can be successfully used as a definitive therapy when appropriate, or to predilate a vessel prior to elective stent placement. The low incidence of adverse events suggests that no new safety issues are raised by this device. ## B. Subject Selection and Exclusion Criteria Patients were entered into the study if they met all of the following inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. ### Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet all the following inclusion criteria: 1. Patient must be eligible to undergo elective PTCA of a *de novo* or restenosed lesion(s) in a native coronary artery or graft. 2. Normal reference vessel diameter (RVD) must be 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm. 3. All lesions requiring intervention must be considered to be treatable with the COOK® MBC PTCA balloon catheter as the first and only interventional device. 4.

Study Period Patients were enrolled from January 14, 1998 through October 5, 1998. E. Safety and Effectiveness Data The results of this study must be interpreted keeping in mind current practice in interventional cardiology. In particular, angioplasty balloons alone are rarely used as definitive therapy. The vast majority of patients treated for coronary artery disease by interventional cardiologists now receive stents on an elective basis. That is, the use of a stent is planned in advance and is rarely determined by the outcome of the balloon dilatation procedure. Thus, the “success” of the balloon dilatation procedure can no longer be defined in isolation in traditional terms (i.e., &lt;50% residual diameter stenosis with at least a 20% reduction). The balloon is frequently used simply to adequately open the lesion so that a stent can be placed. Thus, a “successful” angioplasty procedure may now rightly be considered one in which either a balloon alone produces a residual diameter stenosis &lt;50%, or a balloon provides initial dilatation permitting a stent to be placed thereby producing a residual diameter stenosis &lt;50%, with no major adverse cardiac events in-hospital. The results of this study are presented with these considerations in mind. The outcome following use of the COOK® MBC PTCA balloon catheter are presented both for those patients in whom the balloon was used alone and those patients who received stents following dilatation with the MBC balloon. The procedural outcome was assessed based upon the entire procedure whether the MBC balloon was used alone or to predilate the vessel to permit stent placement. Figure 1 presents the flow diagram for patients enrolled in this study. Twenty-two (22) patients were treated with the MBC balloon catheter alone. In 115 patients, the MBC balloon was used to predilate the vessel prior to placing a stent. In 13 patients, the MBC balloon was not used. However, these 13 cases fall into 3 categories, not all of which should be considered a failure of the balloon. In 5 cases, another brand of balloon of at least equal size to the original MBC balloon was used successfully without changing the ancillary equipment. These 5 cases (3.3%) can be considered technical failures of the MBC balloon to perform successfully. In 6 cases, a balloon of another brand was used Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {16} that was smaller in either diameter or length than the MBC balloon originally attempted. In these 6 cases, a smaller MBC balloon was either not available or attempted before changing to another brand. These cases should not be considered technical failures of the balloon since the optimum size MBC balloon was not attempted before changing to a different device. In 2 cases, ancillary equipment was changed and another brand balloon was used without using an MBC balloon with the new ancillary equipment. These 2 cases should not be considered technical failures of the balloon since changing the ancillary equipment may have altered the environment such that an MBC balloon would have been successful had it been attempted.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 {24} Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 ## Other Reported Events For the patients enrolled in the MBC study (N=149), the following additional events within 30 days of the procedure, were reported: 3 PTCA procedures to other lesions, 12 incidences of chest pain, 1 incidence of ventricular tachycardia, 5 episodes of bradycardia, 3 episodes of hypotension, 4 hematomas, 1 groin bleed and 2 transfusions. ## G. Gender Bias Analysis The patient population enrolled in this study was 64.7% (97/150) male. Patients were either treated with the MBC Balloon only (n = 22; 9 female, 13 male), predilated with the MBC Balloon followed by stent placement (n = 115; 37 female, 78 male), or not treated with the MBC Balloon (n = 22; 7 female, 6 male). This distribution of outcomes is not significantly different (p = 0.253 by Pearson Chi-square). With regard to clinical outcomes, there was only one (0.7%) MACE event within 30 days of the procedure in the entire 150 patient population. This event is described in detail in Appendix III of the PMA amendment submitted on July 19, 1999. This event did occur in a female patient. Thus, the distribution of MACE events was 0.0% in males and 1.9% in females. This distribution is not significantly different (p = 0.353 by Fisher's exact test). In summary, acute procedure success rates for all patients and for patients with eligible lesions did not differ significantly by patient gender nor did MACE rates. ## XI. Conclusions Drawn From Studies The results of the laboratory studies demonstrate that there are no biocompatibility issues and that the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter has the appropriate physical and performance characteristics for its intended use. The COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter was evaluated *in vivo* and successfully demonstrate that the catheter system would function safely and effectively in actual use in the coronary anatomy. {25} The results of the clinical study indicate that the COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the benefits of use of the device for the target population outweigh the risk of illness or injury when used as indicated in accordance with the directions for use. ## XII. Panel Recommendation In accordance with the provisions of section 515(c)(2) of the act as amended by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, this PMA was not referred to the Circulatory System Devices Panel, an FDA advisory committee, for review and recommendation because the information in the PMA substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by the panel. ## XIII. FDA Decision FDA issued a PMA approval letter to Cook, Inc., on SEP 27 1999. FDA also performed an inspection of the manufacturing facilities and found the applicant in compliance with the Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820). ## XIV. Approval Specifications Direction for use: See Final Draft Labeling (Information for Use). Hazards to Health from Use of the Device: See Indications, Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions, and Adverse Events in the Final Draft Labeling. Information for Use Post-approval Requirements and Restrictions: See Approval Order. Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, COOK® MBC PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, P990008 26
