## Intended Use

The Relieva SpinPlus Nav™ Balloon Sinuplasty System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate the sinus ostia and spaces associated with the paranasal sinus cavities for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; and irrigate from within a target sinus for therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. For children aged 17 and under, the Relieva SpinPlus Nav™ Balloon Sinuplasty System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space, within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate sinus ostia and spaces associated with the maxillary sinus for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; and irrigate from within the maxillary sinus for therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. The Relieva SpinPlus Nav™ Balloon Sinuplasty System may be utilized in conjunction with the ACCLARENT® ENT Navigation System, to provide access to nasal and sinus spaces, and to confirm placement in the accessed anatomy

## Device Story

The Relieva SpinPlus Nav Balloon Sinuplasty System is a manual surgical instrument used by ENT surgeons to access, dilate, and irrigate paranasal sinus ostia. The device integrates a sinus guide catheter, flexible balloon catheter, irrigation port, and an electromagnetically-trackable guidewire into a single handle assembly. The handle features a wire slider for advancing/spinning the guidewire, a balloon slider for positioning the balloon, and a suction port for clearing fluids. When connected to the Acclarent ENT Navigation System, the device provides EM-based real-time tracking of the distal tip relative to pre-loaded CT scans. The surgeon uses the device to navigate to the target ostia, dilate them via saline-inflated balloon, and irrigate the sinus. This system facilitates minimally invasive sinus procedures, potentially reducing surgical trauma and improving access to difficult anatomy compared to traditional methods.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was necessary. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through bench testing, including dimensional specifications, balloon burst pressure, joint separation force, deflation time, cycle fatigue, tensile strength, and irrigation performance. Navigation accuracy was verified using the Acclarent ENT Navigation System. Biocompatibility and sterilization (EtO) were validated per ISO standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-use, manual surgical instrument. Combines sinus guide catheter, balloon catheter, irrigation, and EM-trackable guidewire. Materials: biocompatible polymers. Sterilization: EtO (AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11135:2014). Connectivity: wired interface to Acclarent ENT Navigation System for EM tracking. Dimensions: 0.035-inch guidewire, 16mm balloon length, 12 ATM max inflation pressure.

Dear James Patrick Garvey:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 5, 2017.

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.

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

| Device Description:                     | The RELIEVA SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System is packaged<br>with a handle with integrated flexible balloon catheter and Sinus Navigation<br>Guidewire, and three RELIEVA® Spin Sinus Guide Catheter Tips. The system<br>features a handle with an integrated flexible balloon catheter. Features of the<br>handle include a sinus guide tip release button, a suction system, a balloon<br>guard, and several gripping features to grip the device. The guide tip release<br>button must be depressed to separate the sinus guide catheter tip from the<br>handle system. The suction system consists of a suction line and a suction<br>port. Suction may be used to clear the field of fluids and/or blood. The suction<br>line is attached to the proximal end of the handle system and may be removed |

|                                                       | if desired. The suction port may be covered by the user's finger to increase the suction flow rate. A clear balloon guard is connected to the distal end of the handle system and protects the sinus balloon during sinus guide catheter tip exchanges.              The Handle features a wire slider, wire spinner, balloon slider, sinus balloon, handle markers, and proximal connections. The wire slider allows the user to advance, retract and spin the sinus navigation guidewire with a single hand while simultaneously supporting the handle. The balloon slider allows the user to advance and retract the sinus balloon catheter to the target sinus ostia and outflow tract, to enable dilation. The integrated connector enables the device to be interfaced to the ACCLARENT ENT™ Navigation System to facilitate EM navigation              The RELIEVA SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System may be utilized in conjunction with the ACCLARENT ENT™ Navigation System to provide access to nasal and sinus spaces, and to confirm placement in the accessed anatomy via electromagnetic navigation. |

| Non-Clinical Performance<br>Data:                        | The RELIEVA SPINPLUS Nav™ Balloon Sinuplasty System met all<br>performance acceptance criteria including dimensional specifications;<br>balloon burst pressure, joint separation force, deflation time, and<br>balloon cycle fatigue. Additional testing to demonstrated that wire<br>stiffness, tensile strength and irrigation testing were also performed to<br>demonstrate that the device met performance specifications.<br><br>Packaging shelf life was established through accelerated aging via<br>ASTM F1980-07, ASTM F88/F88M-09, and ASTM F2096-04<br>requirements and confirmed to meet a shelf life of three months.<br><br>Biocompatibility testing successfully completed to determine that the<br>RELIEVA SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System is<br>biocompatible.<br><br>The sterilization process has been validated per AAMI/ANSI/ISO<br>11135:2014 and demonstrated a sterility assurance level of 10-6. The<br>method used for sterilization validation was the overkill (half-cycle<br>approach) in a fixed chamber. Ethylene oxide residuals were tested and<br>met ISO 10993-7:2008 requirements. The subject device is not tested<br>nor labeled as "non-pyrogenic”.<br><br>Simulated use testing was performed with ENT surgeons performing<br>balloon dilation of the paranasal sinuses utilizing the RELIEVA<br>SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System and the ACCLARENT<br>ENT™ Navigation System. The testing demonstrated that the<br>RELIEVA SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System and the<br>ACCLARENT ENT™ Navigation System could effectively access the<br>paranasal sinuses. Clinical data was not necessary for the RELIEVA<br>SPINPLUS® NAV Balloon Sinuplasty System.<br><br>Testing was performed to verify the navigation accuracy of the device<br>when used with the Acclarent ENT Navigation System (K161701).<br>Testing included sensitivity and connection verification.<br>The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as<br>intended. |
