I. SUMMARY

Customer device name devices (xmm) were tested to meet the requirements of

FDA Recognized Consensus Standard (Recognition Number 3-87) ASTM F 2477 – 07 “Standard Test Methods for in vitro Pulsatile Durability Testing of Vascular Devices”

FDA Guidance 1545 (2010) “Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular Devices and Associated Delivery Systems”

to evaluate durability when subjected to hydrodynamic loading that simulates the loading and/or change in diameter that the device will experience in vivo. Medical Device Testing Services (MDT) uses the Diameter Control Test Method (or Strain Control Method) described in Annex A2 of ASTM F 2477-07. This method uses a diameter measurement system (Laser) and vessels to ensure that the desired minimum and maximum device diameters, or the equivalent change in device diameter and mean device diameter, are achieved at the test frequency. x (x) devices were deployed in (x) vessels to their diameter xmm. To mimic the physiological application site, the devices were deployed in pairs in an overlapping configuration. The vessels were installed on the test instrument to maintain a xmm radius of curvature. The devices were subjected to x million strain controlled cycles on an EnduraTEC SGT in the Medical Device Testing Services lab (x/x/13– x/x/13). At the conclusion of the test, MDT performed a visual inspection (30x magnification) and no evidence of gross failure was observed. The devices within the testing vessels were returned to Customer for additional failure device analysis. Results only relate to the items tested, opinions and interpretations will be clearly marked as such in the test report.

II. SCOPE This benchtop test is used to determine the durability of a vascular device by exposing it to physiologically relevant diametric distension levels by means of hydrodynamic pulsatile loading. Device specimens are deployed in a vessel and subjected to the equivalent of x years post-implantation physiological stress, a minimum of x million cycles. The test method is applicable to balloon-expandable and self-expanding devices fabricated from metals and metal alloys. Test conditions are designed to meet the requirements of in vitro mechanical fatigue testing stated in ASTM F 2477 – 07 “Standard Test Methods for in vitro Pulsatile Durability Testing of Vascular Devices” and FDA Guidance 1545 (2010) “Non-Clinical Engineering Tests and Recommended Labeling for Intravascular Devices and Associated Delivery Systems”. The test is controlled and monitored via the strain control method, which dictates that the test will control the diametric distention, relative to initial diameter of the vessel. III.

V. PROCEDURES In accordance with MDT quality policy, the test protocol is the governing document for all tests performed. This test was conducted in accordance with test protocol ID# x reviewed and authorized by Customer. This protocol documented the diameter control test method described in ASTM F2477-07, Annex A2. This method reproduces the minimum and maximum diameters, or equivalent change in diameter at mean, that the device would see in vivo. To reproduce these diameters, a volume of testing fluid is injected into a fluid filled vessel that may or may not have a compliance that is physiologically relevant. Thick walled (thicker than physiological walls) vessels are used in order to achieve the desired higher frequency levels. The injected volume is adjusted so that the minimum diameter and maximum diameter of the device is equivalent to the minimum and maximum diameters that the device would experience under physiological conditions. The minimum and maximum loading diameters which simulate physiological loading conditions are determined using a physiological (thin walled) vessel. The general test sequence is as follows:

Inspect devices according to protocol.

Monitor the test daily.

Start the fatigue test and adjust the volumetric displacement to achieve the physiological loading conditions.

Deploy the devices.

Install thick wall mock vessels on the test system.

Calculate the equivalent max & min OD of the device in a thicker walled vessel

Record the max & min OD of the device = physiological loading

Deploy the device into the vessel and run the system at 1.2Hz 160mmHg/80mmHg.

Record max & min ID of the vessel.

Run the system at 1.2Hz 160mmHg/80mmHg.

1. VESSEL INSPECTION The silicone vessels were visually inspected for uniform color, general appearance, and uniform ID and wall thickness. No abnormalities were detected and the silicone vessels were accepted for test use.

2. VESSEL CONDITIONING In accordance with ASTM F2477-07, the empty vessels ID were verified on the test instrument after they had been mounted in their initial position. x (x) silicone vessels size x mm ID, 0.x mm wall thickness were mounted on the SGT 9100 EnduraTEC SGT. The tester was filled with Isotonic Saline Solution (PBSS) and then purged of air. The vessels were conditioned for 2 hours at expected test conditions: x Hz, displacement levels -/+ 0.x ml, 37°C. MDT used a laser micrometer to measure the non-deployed vessel OD along the length of the vessel under the dynamic test conditions. The data confirmed the conformity of the silicone vessels ID as well as the uniformity of the wall thickness between the x vessels. Additionally, each vessel was numbered and marked with left and right reference points

3. DETERMINATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL LOADING PARAMETERS

MDT and test protocol ID# x determine the minimum and maximum diameters (simulating physiological loading conditions) using a physiological (thin walled) vessel. Physiological loading conditions are identified by Customer, based on device application site. Test protocol ID# x identified a physiological compliance of x% -x%.

a) Empty vessel compliance verification

A straight thin walled silicone vessel (xmm ID, 0.xmm wall thickness) mounted on the tester (MDT SGT 91x0-00x) in the position of the pressure transducer. The vessel was mounted in a straight configuration. The tester was started and the controls were set to meet physiologic conditions identified in ASTM F2477-07; 1.2 Hz (72 bpm) and 80 mmHg to 160 mmHg. The laser micrometer was used to measure the radial OD strain of the vessel every centimeter along the length of the vessel (Table 1). The empty vessel compliance was calculated using the experimental data (Table 1). The resulting x% for the xmm ID vessel met the test protocol requirements of x% - x%. (Appendix C: Equation 1, 2, 3)

x (x) of Customer’s devices were deployed into the straight physiological vessel according to test protocol ID# x.

The devices were positioned at the center of the straight vessel with a target overlap of x- xmm (x- xmm acceptable). The tester was started and the controls were set to meet physiologic conditions identified in ASTM F2477-7; 1.2 Hz (72 bpm) and 80 mmHg to 160 mmHg (+/- 5mmHg). The laser micrometer was used to measure the radial OD strain of the vessel every centimeter along the length of the vessel (Fig 2, Table 2). The thick wall equivalent physiological loading condition (%OD strain) was then calculated. The result was 0.x % for devices deployed in xmm ID x 0.xmm wall vessels for the accelerated fatigue test (Appendix C: Equation 4, 5, 1)

c) Physiological Loading Determination Validation

The functionality, of the test method used with a device inside a vessel, depends on the device remaining in contact with the ID of the vessel throughout the distention cycle of that vessel. MDT compares OD vs pressure slope for an empty and deployed vessel to confirm that the test method is valid. The test method is valid if the OD slope of the deployed vessel is different than the OD slope of the non device deployed linear relationship with pressure.

MDT measured the OD at a single position on both the empty and deployed vessel at 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160mmHg. Results confirmed that the test method was valid (Fig. 3).

Figure 3: OD of an empty silicone vessel vs the OD of the same vessel with a deployed device.

4. ACCELERATED FATIGUE TEST SET UP

The devices were deployed in vessels designed to accommodate accelerated fatigue testing. These vessels have a thicker wall than the physiological vessels used in the determination of physiological loading. The device OD relationship with the vessel OD determined in previous steps was used to calculate the accelerated test conditions (0.x% OD strain for the xmm ID vessels) (Table 2). To provide a more realistic strain the vessels are installed on the test instrument in a bend to mimic physiological geometry. Customer’s x mm devices were deployed according to test protocol ID# x into straight vessels on the benchtop. The deployment configuration consisted of x (x) devices deployed into each vessel (Table 3) with a x-x mm overlap located at the center of the vessel. Reference points were marked on the silicone tube indicating the left and right edges of the devices as well as the center. The straight vessel was installed on the SGT instrument in a curved configuration (xmm radius). The target curvature was verified using a digital camera and ProAnalyst measurement software (Appendix D).

1. ACCELERATED FATIGUE TEST START:

MDT uses the diameter control test method. To meet the ASTM F2477-07 requirements the SGT test instrument volumetric displacement is controlled to maintain a targeted dimensional measurement (%OD strain). WinTest software maintains user defined volumetric displacement using a closed feedback loop and linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs), logs the cycle count, and monitors the system pressure. Daily measurements with a laser micrometer of the targeted %OD strain and OD mm (at repeatable points along the deployed vessel) are conducted to ensure that the test control parameters are correct. The SGT instrument was initiated at the protocol dictated test frequency (xHz) and the volumetric displacement levels adjusted until the target %OD strain (0.x%) was achieved (Table 2). MDT controls the test below target %OD at start up to avoid over testing the devices. Devices typically become conditioned in the first 500,000 cycles of testing and the %OD strain increases in response.

a) Test Monitoring

Testing conditions were observed and recorded daily to ensure proper instrument performance (Table 4). Pressure maximum and minimum values may reflect short term conditions during test instrument initiation and/or the presence of an air bubble. These values are recorded to track trends in instrument performance but do not affect the test conditions. The physiological loading is controlled via volumetric displacement. The volumetric displacement was adjusted as needed to maintain the correct %OD target strains (Table 5).
