Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System 510(k) Summary

K262201 Special 510(k)

The IVL Catheter is a proprietary lithotripsy device delivered through the peripheral arterial system of the lower extremities to the site of an otherwise difficult to treat calcified stenosis. Energizing the lithotripsy device will generate ultrasonic acoustic pressure waves within the target treatment site, disrupting calcium within the lesion and allowing subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. The IVL Catheter comprises an array of integrated lithotripsy emitters for the localized delivery of ultrasonic acoustic pressure waves and an integrated balloon. The system consists of an IVL Catheter, an IVL Connector Cable and an IVL Generator. The IVL Catheter is available in eight (8) sizes: 2.5 x 80mm, 3.0 x 80mm, 3.5 x 80mm, 4.0 x 80mm, 5.0 x 80mm, 6.0 x 80mm, 7.0 x 80mm, and 8.0 x 80mm. The E8 Peripheral IVL Catheter sizes 2.5x80mm to 6.0x80mm are compatible with a 5-6 F sheath. The E8 Peripheral IVL Catheter sizes 7.0x80mm and 8.0x80mm are compatible with a 7 F sheath. Refer to Figure 1 below for IVL Catheter components.

![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg)

Figure 1: Shockwave E⁸ Peripheral IVL Catheter

The Shockwave E8 Peripheral IVL Catheter shaft contains an inflation lumen, a guidewire lumen, and the lithotripsy emitters. The inflation lumen is used for inflation and deflation of the balloon with 50/50 saline/contrast medium. The guidewire lumen enables the use of a 0.014" guidewire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the target stenosis. The system is designed as 'Over-the-wire' (OTW) with 150cm shaft working length, so an exchange length (300cm) guidewire is indicated. The emitters are positioned along the length of the balloon working length for delivery of ultrasonic acoustic pressure waves. The balloon is located near the distal tip of the catheter and contains a hydrophilic coating designed to increase lubricity during advancement of the catheter to the treatment site. Two radiopaque marker bands within the balloon denote the length of the balloon to aid in positioning of the balloon during treatment. The balloon is designed to provide an expandable segment of known length and diameter at a specific pressure. The proximal hub has three ports: one for inflation/deflation of the balloon, one for guidewire lumen, and one for connection to the IVL Connector Cable.

### Technological Comparison

This Special 510(k) Premarket Notification describes the addition of two additional balloon sizes (7.0x80mm and 8.0x80mm) to the E⁸ Peripheral IVL Catheter family.

The catheter labeling was updated to reference the new finished good device number and the additional size offerings from Shockwave Medical. Additionally, the Shockwave E⁸

Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System 510(k) Summary  
K262201 Special 510(k)

Results demonstrated that the performance of the IVL System meets its design specifications and demonstrates substantial equivalence for its intended use; therefore, additional clinical data is not required.

#### **Basis for Substantial Equivalence**

The addition of the 7.0x80mm and 8.0x80mm balloon sizes to the E$^{8}$ Peripheral IVL Catheter shares the same intended use, similar principles of operation, overall technical and functional capabilities, design and materials as the identified predicate device cleared in K240225. Any differences between the IVL Systems were evaluated through design verification and validation testing which demonstrated device performance. The addition of the 7.0x80mm and 8.0x80mm balloon sizes to the E$^{8}$ Peripheral IVL Catheter is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
