Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter
Indications for Use
Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter: The Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter, with the Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set and a compatible aspiration pump, is indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment. Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set: The Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set is indicated to connect the Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter to a compatible aspiration pump.

Description
The Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter is a sterile single-use device consisting 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 Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter. The Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set is a sterile, single-use device consisting of a single flexible braided tube with a rotating male luer-lock connector on the distal end, a suction connector on the proximal end, and a pinch clamp. For the aspiration source, the Millipede 070 Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with a compatible aspiration pump connected using the Perfuze Aspiration Tube Set along with a legally marketed canister and accessories kit.
