Indications for Use
The AtriClip® LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the occlusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures. Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other viewing technology. This includes performed by sternotomy (full or partial) as well as thoracotomy (single or multiple).
Device Story
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is a sterile, single-use implantable device designed for permanent occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). It consists of a self-closing Gillinov-Cosgrove clip preloaded onto a disposable applier. The system is used by surgeons during open cardiac procedures (sternotomy or thoracotomy) under direct visualization. The applier features a handle, shaft, and deployment loop; the PRO2 version introduces active articulation controls to facilitate clip positioning and deployment. The surgeon manually positions the clip over the LAA; upon deployment, the clip provides uniform pressure to ensure secure occlusion. The device remains as a permanent implant. Benefits include consistent, reproducible LAA exclusion, which may reduce the risk of thromboembolic events. No electronic or software components are involved.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes mechanical testing, reliability testing, MR compatibility testing per FDA guidance, and animal model bench testing. Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for an external communicating device with tissue/bone contact < 24 hours, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, and material-mediated pyrogenicity.
Technological Characteristics
Implantable clip and applier system. Materials: medical-grade metals and plastics. Principle: mechanical self-closing clip providing uniform pressure for LAA occlusion. Features: active articulation controls, disposable handle/shaft/deployment loop. Sterilization: sterile. Connectivity: none. Software: none.
Indications for Use
Indicated for occlusion of the left atrial appendage in patients undergoing open cardiac surgical procedures requiring direct visualization (sternotomy or thoracotomy).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

### IV. Device Description
The AtriClip PRO2 LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a Single Use Clip Applier along with a selection guide. When closed, the Clip applies uniform pressure over the length of the Clip to ensure consistent, reproducible, and secure occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). The clip is then deployed and is left as a permanent implant. The Clip is available in the following lengths to accommodate different sizes of LAA: 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm.
The Clip Applier is a disposable device with a handle, shaft, suture anchors, and deployment loop which contains the Clip. This Special 510(k) contains design modifications to the predicate AtriClip LAA Exclusion System (PRO1) intended to eliminate the End Effector Hoop configuration, allow for active articulation via articulation controls, and increase ease of deployment of the clip.
#### V. Indications For Use
The AtriClip LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the left atrial appendage, under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac surgical procedures.
Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other viewing technology. This includes procedures performed by sternotomy (full or partial) as well as thoracotomy (single or multiple).
### VI. Comparison Of Technological Characteristics With The Predicate Device
- . The devices have the same intended use, and;
- No changes were made in operating principle, or specifications of performance, and;
- Both the PRO1 and PRO2 Appliers use the Gillinov-Cosgrove Clip, and;
- . Both the predicate and proposed device are made of similar patient contacting materials (medical grade metals and plastics) with long and safe histories of use.
- . The results of the verification and validation testing:
- Demonstrated equivalency in performance o
- o Device biocompatibility remains unchanged
- Did not raise any new issues of safety O
The modifications to the proposed AtriClip LAA Exclusion System are intended to eliminate the existing End Effector Hoop configuration, allow for active articulation controls, and to increase ease of deployment.
#### VII. Performance Data
Non-clinical Bench Testing
- Mechanical Testing ●
- Reliability Testing ●
- Magnetic Resonance Testing Per FDA Guidance (December 11, 2014) Establishing Safety and ● Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment
- . Bench Testing on an Animal Model
{5}------------------------------------------------
# Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the PRO2 clip applier was conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process" as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity .
- . Sensitization
- Irritation
- . Systemic Toxicity
- Material Mediated Pyrogen .
The PRO2 clip applier is categorized as an "External Communicating Device," contact for "Tissue/Bone" and contact duration for "under 24 hours."
#### VIII. Conclusions
The modified AtriClip LAA Exclusion System (PRO2) is equivalent to the previously cleared AtriClip LAA Exclusion System (PRO1) as there is no change to intended use, operating principals, or function of the device.
