## Intended Use

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is intended for use in adult and pediations to dilate strictures of the airway.

## Device Story

Single lumen balloon dilation catheter; high-pressure balloon at distal tip; includes stylet for advancement; luer lock for inflation/stylet placement; radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic placement. Used in clinical settings under endoscopic visualization; physician-operated. Device advanced to stricture site; stylet removed; balloon inflated with sterile water to dilate airway; monitored via endoscopy; deflated via vacuum for removal. Benefits include mechanical dilation of airway strictures to improve patency.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included balloon working length, inflation/deflation times, fatigue (10 cycles), burst pressure, hub measurement, insertability, removability, luer fitting, torque, and bond strength. Transit and 1-year accelerated aging tests performed. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity, irritation) confirmed safety.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Nylon balloon, Pebax catheter. Energy: Hydraulic (sterile water inflation). Dimensions: 5-16mm diameter, 30-40mm length, 55cm catheter length. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Standards: ISO 594-1/2 (luer), ISO 10555 (bond strength). Single lumen design.

## Regulatory Identification

A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.

### Device Description

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is comprised of a sinqle lumen catheter with a high pressure balloon near the distal tip. A stylet is provided to facilitate advancement of the balloon dilation catheter to the desired location. The stylet must be removed before inflation of the high pressure balloon. A luer lock at the proximal end is used for placement of the stylet and injecting sterile water into the balloon. Two radiopaque markers, located on the catheter, inside the balloon, can be used to confirm balloon placement under Fluoroscopy.

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter includes inflation balloons of diameters 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, and 16 mm with complementing characteristics as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter sizes and corresponding characteristics.

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is provided in sterile packaging and with a protective sheath covering the balloon. After removing the catheter from the packaging and protective sheath, it is wiped down with a gauze pad soaked in sterile water. The catheter should then be gently advanced into the airway, to the site of the stricture under endoscopic visualization. The balloon portion of the device is then centered across the restriction and the stylet is removed while holding the catheter securely in place. The balloon dilation catheter luer is attached to the Inflation Device and the balloon is inflated to desired pressure with sterile water. Monitor the balloon via endoscopy during inflation assessing the diameter, shape, and position of the balloon ensuring that the proximal end of the balloon remains proximal to the stricture.

The balloon can be completely deflated while maintaining an endoscopic view of the balloon using a vacuum. Once visual confirmation of the fully deflated balloon is achieved, the balloon may be removed from the airway.

## Indications for Use

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is intended to dilate strictures of the airway.

The intended use of the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in intended use, contraindications, and content of labeling. All devices meet the description set forth by the FDA requlation number 21 CFR Ref. § 874.4680.

The technology incorporated into the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is substantially equivalent to the technology for the predicate devices. The major components of these devices include a distally located inflation balloon, a flexible catheter shaft, and proximal luer to which an inflation device may be connected. The catheter shaft can be stiffened with a stylet (guidewire) running axially in an interior lumen. Attached to the catheter shaft under each end of the inflation balloon are radiopaque marker bands similar to the Boston Scientific CRE predicate device. All materials of the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter were tested for biocompatibility for their intended use.

The inflation balloon sizes of the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter are equivalent to those of the predicate devices. The predicate device's catalog of sizes includes a 5 mm through 18 mm diameter balloon at inflation pressure with intermediate balloon sizes approximately every 2 millimeters.

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter differs from the predicate devices in the design of the balloon. The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter has hubs proximally and distally located on the balloon which begin to take shape upon inflation creating a dog bone balloon shape. As the pressure approaches the inflation pressure, each balloon end begins to take a spherical end shape. The predicate devices' balloon ends have a conical radius shape at pressures approximately equal to or less than two atmospheres. Above two atmospheres, a spherical end shape, similar to the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter device takes shape.

The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter is a sinqle lumen catheter design opposed to a dual lumen design of the predicates. The predicate devices have one lumen for the stylet (quidewire) to run through and a separate inflation lumen. The single aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter lumen is able to serve both of these functions without creating any additional risk.

The performance of the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter was compared to the predicate devices in the insertability and removability tests. A sample device of each the Acclarent Inspira AIR and Boston Scientific CRE were tested for equivalency. Each predicate device passed the tests, showing equivalency between the aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter and each of the predicates were

applicable. The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter also shows equivalency to performance specifications of the predicate devices in the proximal luer fitting design. Equivalency of the remaining performance specifications for both predicate devices is unknown at this time due to the specifications being unspecified by the manufactures. The aeris Balloon Dilation Catheter performance specification values confirm there are no increased risks or safety concerns introduced to the patient.

## Summary of Testing

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safely and effectively as the legally marketed predicate devices identified in this submission.
