Device description
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 acoustic pressure pulses 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 is comprised of an integrated balloon with an array of integrated lithotripsy emitters for the localized delivery of acoustic pressure pulses. The system consists of an IVL Catheter, an IVL Connector Cable and an IVL Generator. The Shockwave E8 Peripheral IVL Catheter shaft contains an inflation lumen, a guidewire lumen, and the lithotripsy emitters. The emitters are positioned along the length of the balloon working length for delivery of acoustic pressure pulses. The balloon is located near the distal tip of the catheter. 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 IVL Generator and Connector Cable are used with a Shockwave Medical IVL Catheter to deliver localized, lithotripsy-enhanced, balloon dilatation of calcified, stenotic arteries. The IVL Generator, IVL Connector Cable and IVL Catheters are designed to exchange data during patient treatment.
An electrically-powered, flexible tube intended to be introduced into a peripheral artery stiffened by a highly calcified atheromatous plaque, to transmit ultrasound (US) waves [e.g., acoustic pressure pulses] for the disruption of the plaque to improve vessel compliance. It is used in conjunction with a dedicated control unit/generator (not included) and includes transducers intended to convert electrical energy to ultrasound and an inflatable balloon at its distal end to facilitate energy transmission and dilation of the vessel. This is a single-use device.
