Device description
The Shockwave C2 Aero Coronary IVL Catheter is a proprietary lithotripsy device delivered through the coronary arterial system of the heart to the site of an otherwise difficult to treat calcified stenosis, including calcified stenoses that are anticipated to exhibit resistance to full balloon dilatation or subsequent uniform coronary stent expansion. Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) is an interventional procedure that utilizes a fluid-filled catheter connected to power sources that generate acoustic shock waves; the shock waves modify calcified plaque in coronary arteries. The IVL Catheter contains integrated lithotripsy emitters for the localized delivery of acoustic pressure pulse therapy. The lithotripsy technology generates acoustic pressure pulses within the target treatment site, disrupting calcium within the lesion allowing subsequent dilatation of a coronary artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. The system consists of the IVL Catheter, IVL Connector Cable and IVL Generator. The Shockwave C2 Aero Coronary IVL Catheter is available in four (4) sizes: 2.5x12 mm, 3.0x12 mm, 3.5x12 mm, and 4.0x12 mm. The Shockwave C2 Aero Coronary IVL Catheter is compatible with a 6F guiding catheter, has a working length of 138 cm, and shaft depth markers at the proximal end. The catheter is coated with hydrophilic coating to 22.75 cm from the distal tip to reduce friction during device delivery.
An electrically-powered, flexible tube intended to be introduced into a coronary 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.
