The Millipede70 Aspiration Catheter is a sterile single-use device. It consists of the catheter and a rotating hemostasis valve (RHV). The catheter is a single lumen, reinforced, variable stiffness catheter. The distal segment has a hydrophilic coating for navigation through the vasculature. The catheter has a radiopaque marker located at its distal end for visualization under fluoroscopy. The RHV is assembled onto the hub of the catheter and is used to maintain hemostasis during infusion of saline and contrast agent and insertion of devices into the Millipede70 Aspiration Catheter. For the aspiration source, the Millipede70 Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with a compatible aspiration pump with prespecified performance parameters. The aspiration pump is connected using the Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set along with a legally marketed canister and accessories kit.
A flexible or semi-flexible tube designed for the percutaneous, transluminal disruption and removal of clotted blood (i.e., a thrombus or thromboembolus) or other formed elements causing vascular obstruction in native/stented blood vessels, native/synthetic bypass grafts, and/or haemodialysis access grafts, through suction (aspiration) in conjunction with a syringe or dedicated suction pump system (pump not included). It may additionally be intended for infusion of fluids and/or used as a guide-catheter to facilitate introduction of a thrombectomy wire-net (not included) to remove residual thrombus. Collection containers may be included with the catheter. This is a single-use device.
