Intended Use

The Route 92 Medical HiPoint Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set, when used with a compatible vacuum 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 artery and middle cerebral artery M1 segment within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for thrombolytic drug therapy or who failed thrombolytic drug therapy are candidates for treatment.

Technology

The system includes an aspiration catheter with a single-lumen, coil-reinforced polymer distal shaft connected to a proximal control wire, a delivery catheter, a Base Camp Sheath System, and aspiration tubing. The catheters have hydrophilic coatings, and the aspiration tubing connects to an aspiration pump providing specific vacuum parameters to facilitate clot removal.

Performance

Non-clinical testing included simulated use, lumen patency under vacuum, dimensional verification, tensile strength, kink and torsion resistance, hydrophilic coating integrity, aspiration pressure, particulate evaluation, and animal studies demonstrating safety and performance under worst-case clinical conditions. Clinical testing was performed in a randomized controlled trial (SUMMIT MAX) showing non-inferior revascularization rates and safety compared to a predicate device, with detailed endpoints including reperfusion success and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
