Brief Summary:ÌýPrior to using these devices, please
review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions, potential adverse events and
directions for use.
Indications:ÌýThe Aveirâ„¢ Leadless Pacemaker
system is indicated for management of one or more of the following permanent
conditions: Syncope, Pre-syncope, Fatigue, Disorientation. Rate-modulated
pacing is indicated for patients with chronotropic incompetence, and for those
who would benefit from increased stimulation rates concurrent with physical
activity. Dual-chamber pacing is indicated for patients exhibiting: Sick sinus
syndrome, Chronic, symptomatic second- and third-degree AV block, Recurrent
Adams-Stokes syndrome, Symptomatic bilateral bundle-branch block when
tachyarrhythmia and other causes have been ruled out. Atrial pacing is
indicated for patients with: Sinus node dysfunction and normal AV and
intraventricular conduction systems. Ventricular pacing is indicated for
patients with: Significant bradycardia and normal sinus rhythm with only rare
episodes of AV block or sinus arrest, Chronic atrial fibrillation, Severe
physical disability.
Intended Use:ÌýThe Aveirâ„¢ Leadless Pacemaker
(LP) is designed to provide bradycardia pacing as a pulse generator with
built-in battery and electrodes for implantation in the right ventricle and/or
right atrium. The LP is intended to provide sensing of intrinsic cardiac
signals and delivery of cardiac pacing therapy within the implanted chamber for
the target treatment group. The LP is also intended to operate optionally with
another co-implanted LP to provide dual-chamber pacing therapy.
The Aveirâ„¢ Delivery Catheter is
intended to be used in the peripheral vasculature and the cardiovascular system
to deliver and manipulate an LP. Delivery and manipulation includes implanting
an LP within the target chamber of the heart.
Contraindications:ÌýUse of the Aveirâ„¢ Leadless
Pacemaker is contraindicated in these cases:
- Use of any pacemaker is contraindicated in patients with a
     co-implanted ICD because high-voltage shocks could damage the pacemaker
     and the pacemaker could reduce shock effectiveness.
- Single-chamber ventricular demand pacing is relatively
     contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated pacemaker syndrome, have
     retrograde VA conduction, or suffer a drop in arterial blood pressure with
     the onset of ventricular pacing.
- Programming of rate-responsive pacing is contraindicated in
     patients with intolerance of high sensor driven rates.
- Use is contraindicated in patients with an implanted vena cava
     filter or mechanical tricuspid valve because of interference between these
     devices and the delivery system during implantation.
- Persons with known history of allergies to any of the components of
     this device may suffer an allergic reaction to this device. Prior to use
     on the patient, the patient should be counseled on the materials (listed
     in the Product Materials section of the IFU) contained in the device and a
     thorough history of allergies must be discussed.
Ìý
Adverse Events:ÌýPotential complications associated
with the use of the Aveirâ„¢ Leadless Pacemaker system are the same as with the
use of single or dual chamber pacemakers with active fixation pacing leads
including, but not limited to: Cardiac perforation, Cardiac tamponade,
Pericardial effusion, Pericarditis, Valve damage and/or regurgitation, Heart
failure, Pneumothorax/hemothorax, Cardiac arrhythmias, Diaphragmatic/phrenic
nerve stimulation / extra-cardiac stimulation, Palpitations, Hypotension,
Syncope, Cerebrovascular accident, Infection, Hypersensitivity reaction to

or program the LP due to programmer or LP malfunction, Intermittent or complete
loss of pacing and/or sensing due to dislodgement or mechanical malfunction of
the LP (non-battery related), Loss of capture or sensing due to embolization or
fibrotic tissue response at the electrode, Increased capture threshold,
Inappropriate sensor response, Interruption of desired LP function due to
electrical interference, either electromyogenic or electromagnetic, Battery
malfunction/ premature battery depletion, Device-related complications
(Premature deployment, Device dislodgement/embolization of foreign material,
Helix distortion), Death. As with any percutaneous catheterization procedure,
potential complications include, but are not limited to: Vascular access
complications; such as perforation, dissection, puncture, groin pain, Bleeding
or hematoma, Thrombus formation, Thromboembolism, Air embolism, Local and
systemic infection, Peripheral nerve damage. General surgery risks and
complications from comorbidities; such as hypotension, dyspnea, respiratory

     components poly(L-lactide), poly(D, L-lactide), and platinum.
 Ìý
WARNINGS
- This device is intended for single use only.ÌýDo not reuse, reprocess, or re-sterilize.
     Note the product "Use-by" date on the package. Reuse,
     reprocessing, or re-sterilization may compromise the structural integrity
     of the device and / or delivery system and / or lead to device failure,
     which may result in patient injury, illness, or death. Reuse,
     reprocessing, or re-sterilization may also create a risk of contamination
     of the device and / or cause patient infection or cross-infection,
     including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s)
     from one patient to another. Contamination of the device and / or delivery
     system may lead to injury, illness, or death of the patient.
- The Espritâ„¢ BTK System is intended to perform as a system. The
     scaffold should not be removed for use with other dilatation catheters.
- The Espritâ„¢ BTK System should not be used in conjunction with other
     non-everolimus drug eluting devices in the same vessel as the Espritâ„¢ BTK
     Scaffold.
- It is not recommended to use this scaffold to treat lesions located
     at any joint or other hinge points, such as the knee or ankle. The
     recommended region for below-the-knee (BTK) treatment with the Espritâ„¢ BTK
     Scaffold is the infrapopliteal arteries at a location ≥ 10 cm above the
     proximal margin of the ankle mortise. The Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold has not
     been tested for use outside the recommended implant locations.
- This product should not be used in patients with aneurysms
     immediately adjacent to the scaffold implantation site.
- Insertion of the Espritâ„¢ BTK System and implantation of the
     scaffold should be performed only under fluoroscopic observation with
     radiographic equipment providing high resolution images.
- Quantitative imaging is strongly recommended to
     accurately measure and confirm appropriate vessel sizing (reference vessel
     diameter ≥ 2.5 mm).ÌýIf
     quantitative imaging determines a vessel size < 2.5 mm, do not implant
     the Espritâ„¢ BTK scaffold.
- Adequate lesion preparation prior to scaffold implantation is
     required to ensure safe delivery of the scaffold across the target lesion.
     It is not recommended to treat patients having a lesion that prevents
     complete inflation of an angioplasty balloon.
- Successful pre-dilatation with residual diameter
     stenosis of < 30% by visual estimation is required for treatment of the
     target lesion; < 20% by visual estimation is preferred.
- Ensure the scaffold is not post-dilated beyond the allowable
     expansion limits.
- Use of appropriate anticoagulant and / or antiplatelet therapy per
     standard of care is recommended for use of this scaffold system.
- This product should not be used in patients who are not likely to
     comply with the recommended antiplatelet therapy.
- Judicious selection of patients is necessary, since the use of this
     device carries the associated risk of scaffold thrombosis, vascular
     complications, and / or bleeding events.
 Ìý
PRECAUTIONS
- Scaffold placement should not be performed in patients with known
     allergies to contrast agent that cannot be medically managed.
- It is not recommended to treat patients having a lesion with
     excessive tortuosity proximal to or within the lesion.
- When multiple scaffolds are required, only combinations of Espritâ„¢
     BTK Scaffolds must be used. Any potential interaction with other
     drug-eluting or coated devices has not been evaluated.
- The delivery system is intended for deployment of the scaffold only
     and should not be used to dilate other locations.
- Implantation of the scaffold should be performedÌýonlyÌýby
     physicians who have received appropriate training.
- As with all catheter-based procedures, scaffold placement should be
     performed at facilities where patient can be prepared for necessary
     intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair as
     per facility protocol.
- Pre-dilatation should be performed with an angioplasty balloon.
     Cutting or scoring balloons can be used per physician discretion, if the
     lesion appears to be mildly calcified.
- Failure to pre-dilate the vessel may impair nominal / optimal
     scaffold delivery.
- Implanting a scaffold may lead to dissection of the vessel distal
     and / or proximal to the scaffold, requiring additional intervention.
 
 Note:ÌýIn cases of bailouts, bailout treatment of the target
     lesion can be done using the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold of the appropriate
     length. If an appropriate length Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold is not available,
     physicians should use standard of care.
- An unexpanded scaffold may be retracted into the introducer
     sheathÌýone time only. An unexpanded scaffold should not be
     reintroduced into the artery once it has been pulled back into the
     introducer sheath.
- Post-dilatation is strongly recommended for optimal scaffold
     apposition. When performed, post-dilatation should be performed at high
     pressure (> 16 atm) with a non-compliant balloon up to 0.5 mm larger
     than the nominal scaffold diameter.
- Use an appropriately sized non-drug coated balloon to pre-dilate
     the lesion. When treating a long lesion, scaffold the distal portion of
     the lesion prior to scaffolding the proximal portion of the lesion.
- Ensure that the scaffolded area covers the entire lesion /
     dissection site and that no gaps exist between scaffolds.
- The extent of the patient’s exposure to drug and polymer is
     directly related to the number of scaffolds implanted. The safety of
     everolimus, polymer, and polymer breakdown products was evaluated in
     pre-clinical studies and the biocompatibility assessment of the Espritâ„¢
     BTK Scaffold.
- The safety and effectiveness of the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold in
     patients with prior brachytherapy of the target lesion or the use of
     brachytherapy for treated-site restenosis in the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold have
     not been established. Both vascular brachytherapy and the Espritâ„¢ BTK
     Scaffold alter arterial modeling. The potential combined effect on
     arterial remodeling by these two treatments is not known.
- The safety and effectiveness of the Espritâ„¢ BTK System have not
     been established in clinical trials with the use of either mechanical
     atherectomy devices (directional atherectomy catheters, rotational
     atherectomy catheters) or laser atherectomy catheters.
- Formal drug interaction studies have not been performed with the
     Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold because of limited exposure to everolimus eluted from
     the scaffold.
- Everolimus, the Esprit™ BTK Scaffold’s active pharmaceutical
     ingredient, is an immunosuppressive agent. Therefore, consideration should
     be given to patients taking other immunosuppressive agents or who are at
     risk for immune suppression.
- Oral everolimus use in renal transplant and advanced renal cell
     carcinoma patients was associated with increased serum cholesterol and
     triglyceride levels, which in some cases required treatment.
- Non-clinical testing has demonstrated the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold is
     MR Conditional. A person with the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold may be safely
     scanned under the following conditions. Failure to follow these conditions
     may result in injury- Static magnetic field strength of 7 Tesla or less
 
- The Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold should not migrate in this MRI
     environment. MRI at 7 Tesla or less may be performed immediately following
     the implantation of the Espritâ„¢ BTK Scaffold.
