Mueller Neuro/Spine - **Product Code:** [HCH](/submissions/NE/subpart-f%E2%80%94neurological-therapeutic-devices/HCH.md) - **Decision Date:** Jan 6, 2000 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 882.5200 - **Device Class:** Class 2 - **Review Panel:** Neurology - **Attributes:** Therapeutic ## Indications for Use Placement in the intracranial space for the occlusion of a cerebral aneurysm (a balloon like sac formed on a blood vessel) to prevent it from bleeding or bursting. Placement of the clip requires the use of especially designed appliers ## Device Story PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip is a bent titanium wire device providing spring-operated, self-closing occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. Used in intracranial surgery; operated by neurosurgeons using specialized appliers. Device functions by clamping the aneurysm neck to prevent bleeding or rupture. Titanium alloy construction ensures MRI compatibility and reduced imaging artifacts compared to cobalt-based clips. Benefits include secure vessel occlusion and improved diagnostic imaging post-procedure. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, material composition, and functional performance comparisons to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ISO 5832/3 and ASTM F-136. Form factor: Bent wire, spring-operated, self-closing clip. Energy source: Mechanical (spring tension). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. ## Regulatory Identification An aneurysm clip is a device used to occlude an intracranial aneurysm (a balloonlike sac formed on a blood vessel) to prevent it from bleeding or bursting. ## Predicate Devices - Aesculap Titanium Aneurysm Clip ([K983758](/device/K983758.md)) - Taka Aneurysm Clip ([K972750](/device/K972750.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Taka Aneurysm Clip (K972750) | | Device Description: | Bent titanium wire which provides a spring operated, self
Closing aneurysm clip of various lengths/sizes. | | Intended Use: | Placement in the intracranial space for the occlusion of a
cerebral aneurysm (a balloon like sac formed on a
blood vessel) to prevent it from bleeding or bursting.
Placement of the clip requires the use of especially
designed appliers | | Technological Characteristics
And Comparison to Predicate | The PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip is manufactured from
the same materials, to equivalent functional and
dimensional specifications as the predicate clips.
The material composition is titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
The alloy composition and properties conform with ISO
Standard 5832/3: "Implants for Surgery Metallinc
Materials - Part 3: WroughtTitanium 6 - Aluminum 4 -
Vanadium Alloy" and ASTM Standard F - 136:
"Specification for Wrought Titanium 6AL-4V ELI Alloy
for Surgical Applications". The PSI clips share similar
tolerances, manufacturing controls, packaging and
labeling as the predicate Taka clips. | | Performance Data: | When used with the appropriate clip applier, as with
the predicate device, the PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip
functions in the same manner as the predicate device in
the occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. When used in
the MRI environment, the device presents no additional
risk to the patient or other personnel, is compatible with
current diagnostic imaging equipment and provides
substantially reduced image artifacts over cobalt-based
predicate clips. | | Conclusion: | The Titanium Aneurysm Clip is safe and effective for it's
intended use and meets all regulatory requirements to be
found substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | : {1}------------------------------------------------ # K991959 ## Page 15 {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
