Intended Use
The Penumbra System is intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (in the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset.
Device Story
Penumbra System is a percutaneous catheter-based system designed for thrombus removal in acute ischemic stroke. It comprises a reperfusion catheter, a separator, and aspiration tubing, used in conjunction with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump (K051758). The system is operated by physicians in a clinical setting to perform mechanical revascularization. By applying aspiration and mechanical separation, the device removes occlusive thrombi from intracranial vessels, restoring blood flow to ischemic brain tissue. This intervention aims to improve patient outcomes following acute ischemic stroke.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study performed alongside bench, in vitro, and in vivo testing. The devices met all specifications and clinical protocol outcome measures.
Technological Characteristics
System includes reperfusion catheter, separator, and aspiration tubing. Constructed from medical-grade materials similar to predicate devices. Operates via mechanical aspiration and separation. Intended for use with an external aspiration pump. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for revascularization in 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.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

### Predicate Devices
Merci Retriever models X5 and X6 (K033736) and Merci Micro Catheter (K003086) Manufactured by Concentric Medical, Inc.
### Device Description
The Penumbra System consists of four devices that work as a system to remove thrombus including the Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter, Penumbra Separator, and Aspiration Tubing. The Penumbra System is used with the Penumbra Aspiration Pump (K051758).
Materials used in the Penumbra System devices are manufactured from medical grade materials that are commonly used in the industry, are similar or identical to the predicate devices, and have historically been demonstrated to be both biocompatible and suitable for this use.
### Intended Use

hours of symptom onset. The indication statement of the Penumbra System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
## Substantial Equivalence
The intended use, method of operation, methods of construction and materials used, are either identical or substantially equivalent to the existing, legally marketed, predicate devices. Therefore, Penumbra believes the Penumbra System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
# Testing
Bench testing, in vitro testing, in vivo testing, and a clinical study have been performed on the device materials, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies. The devices tested met the specifications and the outcome measures of the clinical protocol.

Dear Ms. Brander-Allen:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
