Indications for Use
The Riptide™ Aspiration System is intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral – M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
Device Story
Single-lumen, variable-stiffness composite catheter; nitinol-reinforced structure with polymer jacket and PTFE liner; platinum-iridium radiopaque markerband for fluoroscopic visualization. Used in neurovascular procedures to revascularize occluded intracranial vessels. Physician navigates catheter through vasculature to site of occlusion; applies aspiration to remove thrombus. Device provides proximal stiffness for pushability and distal flexibility for navigation. Benefits include restoration of blood flow in acute ischemic stroke patients. Used in clinical settings (e.g., interventional suite) by trained physicians.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing (biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1, mechanical performance per ISO 10555-1, vacuum/flow rate, recanalization) and GLP-compliant porcine animal studies comparing safety, efficacy, and usability against the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen catheter; nitinol braid/coil reinforcement; PTFE liner; Trogamid hub; DynaFlex strain relief; Pebax/Grilamid extrusions; Surmodics Serene hydrophilic coating. Radiopaque platinum-iridium markerband. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO). Dimensions: 0.068" ID, 0.083" max OD. Single-use, disposable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (internal carotid, middle cerebral M1/M2, basilar, vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Candidates include those ineligible for or failing IV t-PA therapy.

## Device Description:
The Riptide™ Aspiration System React™ 68 Catheter is a single lumen, flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter with a nitinol structure that is jacketed with a durable polymer outer layer. A lubricous, polytetrafluoroethylene liner is used to create a structure that has both proximal stiffness and distal flexibility, and an encapsulated radiopaque distal platinum-iridium markerband which is used for visualization under fluoroscopy. The Riptide™ Aspiration System React™ 68 Catheter is introduced into the vasculature through the split y-introducer sheath.
The proximal end of the Riptide™ Aspiration System React™ 68 Catheter is designed with a thermoplastic elastomer strain relief and a clear hub. The Riptide™ Aspiration System React™ 68 Catheter is designed with a hydrophilic coating. The Riptide™ Aspiration System React™ 68 Catheter is navigated to the intended treatment site and positioned proximal to the site of occlusion.
