Indications for Use

The balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The balloon dilatation catheter (balloon models 2.00 mm to 4.00 mm) is also indicated for postdeployment expansion of balloon expandable stents.

Device Story

Euphora RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a PTCA device used by physicians in clinical settings to treat coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis. The device consists of a catheter with a distal balloon and a proximal female luer for inflation device attachment. A guidewire lumen allows for precise positioning, aided by radiopaque marker bands and shaft markers. The balloon is inflated to specific diameters and pressures to dilate stenotic vessels or expand stents. The device facilitates improved myocardial perfusion. This version incorporates a PTFE-based, non-hydrophilic material change on the proximal shaft assembly compared to the predicate.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993) and performance testing (tensile strength, balloon deployment/retraction, and PTFE characterization).

Technological Characteristics

PTCA balloon catheter; proximal shaft utilizes PTFE-based, non-hydrophilic material. Features radiopaque balloon marker bands and shaft markers for brachial/femoral techniques. Operates via external inflation device. Sterilization method and shelf life remain unchanged from the predicate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring balloon dilatation of stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts to improve myocardial perfusion, and for post-deployment expansion of balloon-expandable stents (for 2.0-4.0 mm models).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Standard PTCA Catheter: A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion. Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter: A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.

The balloon at the distal end of the catheter can be inflated to a defined diameter at a specific pressure as defined in the product labelling. The proximal end of the catheter has a female luer for attachment to an inflation device. The catheter provides a lumen which enables the use of a guidewire to position the catheter. Radiopaque balloon marker bands enable accurate placement. Shaft markers for brachial and femoral techniques are in place. # **Indications For Use:** The balloon dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The balloon dilatation catheter (balloon models 2.0 mm - 4.0 mm) is also indicated for postdeployment expansion of balloon expandable stents. # **Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device** Euphora Rapid Exchange Balloon Dilatation Catheter has the same indication for use and principals of operation as the legally marketed predicate device (K143480). The technological and functional characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, in terms of design, dimensions and method of construction. Technological characteristics differ only with respect to the PTFE based, non-hydrophilic material change on the proximal shaft assembly. There are no other technological characteristic differences compared to the predicate device. All other device materials remain identical. The purpose of the material is not changing as a result of this modification. The material difference does not introduce any new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate; the device continues to meet its intended use. # **Comparison to Predicate Devices** The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, which is Medtronic's own legally market device and is substantially equivalent. There is no change in sterilization method, sterility assurance level and shelf life. The material difference does not introduce different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate. {6} K261759 Page 3 of 4 ## Summary of Non-Clinical Data The following non-clinical tests were performed to evaluate and demonstrate substantial equivalence between the subject device and the predicate device. Biocompatibility Evaluation (conducted per ISO 10993 standards): - Physical Information & Chemical Information (GlideMed Coating Formulation) - Toxicological Risk Assessment - Cytotoxicity - Acute Systemic Toxicity - Hemocompatibility - Hemolysis - Complement Activation - Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) - Platelet/Leucocyte Count - Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization - Intracutaneous Irritation - *In vitro* Skin Irritation - Material Mediated Pyrogenicity Performance Testing included: - Hypotube Bond Outer Diameter - Proximal Shaft Outer Diameter - Hypotube/Transition Shaft Tensile - Balloon Preparation, Deployment and Retraction - PTFE Particulate Characterization Testing - PTFE Durability Characterization Testing All test results met the acceptance criteria, which are consistent with the predicate device, demonstrating that the subject device meets established performance specifications and is suitable for its intended use. The results confirmed that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate. ## Summary of Clinical Data {7} K261759 Page 4 of 4 No clinical testing was required for this 510(k) submission. ### Conclusion from Data The differences between the subject device and predicate device have been evaluated through non-clinical testing, which demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
