Intended Use
The Penumbra System / Penumbra System MAX are 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. The Penumbra 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. The Reperfusion Catheters ACE 64 and ACE 68 are intended for use in revascularization within the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) within 8 hours of symptom onset.
Device Story
The Penumbra System 110 Aspiration Tubing connects a pump canister to reperfusion catheters to provide vacuum for thrombus removal; operated by physicians in clinical settings. The device features a flow control switch allowing manual start/stop of aspiration. The tubing assembly is a single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic component. By providing a larger inner diameter (0.110in) compared to predicate devices, it accommodates larger clot burdens during revascularization procedures. The output is the application of vacuum pressure to the catheter system, facilitating the removal of occlusive material from intracranial vessels. This assists in restoring blood flow, potentially improving clinical outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation per EN ISO 10993) and mechanical design verification (simulated use, leak testing, and destructive joint strength testing). All tests met established specifications.
Indicated for patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (internal carotid, middle cerebral M1/M2, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset.
