## Indications for Use

The Surgica Corporation MicroStat™ PVA Foam Embolization Particles are intended for the following indication: PVA particles may be used for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular systems. They are intended for use in the endovascular management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and neoplastic lesions when presurgical devascularization is desirable.

## Device Story

MicroStat™ PVA foam particles are artificial embolization devices used to obstruct or reduce blood flow to hypervascular or neoplastic lesions. Particles are supplied in various sizes for selection based on lesion size. Delivered via superselective catheter under fluoroscopic guidance. Used by clinicians in endovascular procedures. Device provides mechanical occlusion of vessels; benefits include reduced blood flow to target lesions prior to surgery. Single-use, radiation-sterilized, nonpyrogenic.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data.

## Technological Characteristics

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam particles; various size ranges; radiation sterilized; nonpyrogenic; single-use; delivered via infusion catheter under fluoroscopic guidance.

## Regulatory Identification

A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).

## Predicate Devices

- EMB™ PVA Foam Embolization Particle ([K001678](/device/K001678.md))
