The rapid exchange delivery system consists mainly of an inner shaft and an outer sheath with radiopaque markers, and a Tuohy Borst valve. The inner shaft consists of a support member and wire lumen. The proximal portion of the support member is comprised of a hub connected to a stainless steel wire and hypotube and distally of a stainless steel coil. The wire lumen originates distally in a catheter tip and terminates proximally at a guidewire exit port designed to accept a .014" (0.36 mm) guidewire. The outer sheath has a proximal shaft and distal outer sheath with a nominal working length of 57 cm. The self‐ expanding ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is constrained within the space between the inner shaft and the distal outer sheath, located between distal and proximal stent markers on the inner shaft. The stent expands to its unconstrained diameter when released from the deployment catheter into the carotid artery. Upon deployment, ...

3.0 Indications for Use The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System used in conjunction with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System (NPS) is indicated for the treatment of patients at high risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy, who require carotid revascularization and meet the criteria outlined below. 1. Patients with neurological symptoms and > 50% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram OR patients without neurological symptoms and > 80% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram, AND 2. Patients must have a vessel diameter of 4‐9 mm at the target lesion, AND 3. Carotid bifurcation is located at minimum 5 cm above the clavicle to allow for placement of the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS. 4.0 Contraindications Use of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is contraindicated in the following patients: 1. Patients in whom antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy is contraindicated. 2. Patients in whom the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is unable to be placed. 3. Patients with uncorrected bleeding disorders. 4. Patients with known allergies to nitinol. 5. Lesions in the ostium of the common carotid artery. 5.0 Warnings 5.1 General Warnings 1. Only physicians who have received appropriate training for transcarotid stenting and who are familiar with the principles, clinical applications, complications, side effects and hazards commonly associated with carotid interventional procedures should use this device. 2. The safety and efficacy of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System have not been demonstrated with embolic protection systems other than the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS. Use the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System only with the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS. 3. The long term performance (> 3 years) of carotid stents has not yet been established. 4. As with any type of vascular implant, infection secondary to contamination of the stent may lead to thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm or rupture. 5. The stent may cause a thrombus, distal embolization or may migrate from the site of implant through the arterial lumen. Appropriate sizing of the stent to the vessel is required to reduce the possibility of stent migration (see Section 9.3 of these instructions). In the event of thrombosis of the expanded stent, thrombolysis and PTA should be attempted. 6. Overstretching of the artery may result in rupture and life‐threatening bleeding. 7. In patients requiring the use of antacids and/or H2‐antagonists before or immediately after stent placement, oral absorption of antiplatelet agents (e.g. aspirin) may be adversely affected. 8. The appropriate antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy should be administered pre‐ and post‐procedure as suggested in Section 9.1 of these instructions. 9. In the event of complications such as infection, pseudoaneurysm or fistulization, surgical removal of the stent ...

• Patients with lesions of the ostium of the common carotid. • Patients with highly calcified lesions resistant to PTA. • Concurrent treatment of bilateral lesions. Patient Characteristics: • Patients at low‐to‐moderate risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy. • Patients experiencing acute ischemic neurologic stroke or who experienced a stroke within 48 hours. • Patient has had a recent (<7 days) stroke of sufficient size (on CT or MRI) to place him or her at risk of hemorrhagic conversion during the procedure. • Patients with ipsilateral intracranial or extracranial arterial stenosis greater in severity than the lesion to be treated, cerebral aneurysm > 5 mm, AVM (arteriovenous malformation) of the cerebral vasculature, or intracranial tumor. • Patients with arterio‐venous malformations in the territory of the target carotid artery. • Patients with diathesis or coagulopathies. • Patients with poor renal function, who, in the physician’s opinion, may be at high risk for a reaction to contrast medium. • Patients with perforated vessels evidenced by extravasation of contrast media. • Patients with aneurismal dilation immediately proximal or distal to the lesion. • Pregnant patients or patients under the age of 18. Access Characteristics: • Patients with known internal carotid artery tortuosity that would preclude the use of catheter‐based techniques. • Patients with known common carotid or internal carotid artery tortuosity that would preclude the use of catheter‐based techniques. • Patients in whom common carotid access is not possible. 2. Risk of distal embolization may be higher if the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System cannot be used in conjunction with the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS during the carotid stenting procedure. 5.3 Device Use Warnings 1. USE OF A SMALLER THAN INDICATED ACCESSORY DEVICE OTHER THAN THE ENROUTE TRANSCAROTID ARTERIAL SHEATH MAY LEAD TO INTRODUCTION OF AIR INTO THAT DEVICE AS THE STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM IS ADVANCED, WHICH MAY NOT BE REMOVED DURING AIR ASPIRATION. 2. Ensure that the catheter system is flushed according to the steps outlined in "Introduction of Stent Delivery System" (Section 9.4). Failure to do so could result in air entering the ENROUTE’s Transcarotid Arterial Sheath. 3. Ensure that there is a tight seal between the ENROUTE catheter and the valve for the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath during aspiration. Failure to do so could result in air entering the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath. 4. The black dotted pattern on the gray temperature exposure indicator found on the pouch must be clearly visible. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT IF THE ENTIRE TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE INDICATOR IS COMPLETELY BLACK as the ...

10. The stent is not designed for dragging or repositioning. 11. Once the stent is partially deployed, it cannot be recaptured using the stent delivery system. 12. As with any type of vascular implant, infection secondary to contamination of the stent may lead to thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm or rupture. 13. When multiple stents are used, they should be of similar composition. 14. Long‐term outcomes following repeat dilatation of endothelialized stents are unknown. 6.0 Precautions 6.1 Stent Handling Precautions 1. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is supplied STERILE and is intended for single use only. DO NOT resterilize and/or reuse the device. 2. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is shipped with the Tuohy Borst valve in the OPEN position. Care should be taken not to pre‐deploy the stent. The device should be prepped in the tray. (See Section 9.3 of these instructions). 3. Do not use the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System after the "Use By" date specified on the package. 4. Do not use if the pouch is opened or damaged. 5. Store in a cool, dark, dry place. 6.2 Stent Placement Precautions 1. Venous access should be available during carotid stenting in order to manage bradycardia and/or hypotension either by pharmaceutical intervention or placement of a temporary pacemaker, if needed. 2. When catheters are in the body, they should be manipulated only under fluoroscopy. Radiographic equipment that provides high quality images is needed. 3. The delivery system is not designed for the use of power injection. Use of power injection may adversely affect device performance. 4. If resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system used. 5. Prior to stent deployment, remove all slack from the catheter delivery system (see Section 9.4, 4 of these instructions). 6. Adequate distance must be maintained from the distal tip of the transcarotid access sheath and the proximal edge of the stent to avoid stent delivery within the lumen of the sheath. 7. When treating multiple lesions, the distal lesion should be initially stented, followed by stenting of the proximal lesion. Stenting in this order obviates the need to cross the proximal stent in placement of the distal stent and reduces the chance for dislodging stents that have already been placed. 8. Overlap of sequential stents is necessary, but the amount of overlap should be kept to a minimum (approximately 5 mm). In no instance should more than 2 stents overlap. 9. Fractures of this stent may occur. Fractures may also occur with the use of multiple overlapping stents. Fractures have been reported most often in clinical uses for which the safety and effectiveness have not been established. The causes and clinical implications of stent fractures are not well characterized. Care should also be ...

6.4 MRI Safety Information Non‐clinical testing has demonstrated that the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent is MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be scanned safely in an MR system meeting the following conditions: ‐ Static magnetic field of 1.5‐Tesla or 3‐Tesla, only ‐ Maximum spatial gradient magnetic field of 4,000 Gauss/cm (40 Tesla/m) or less ‐ Maximum MR system reported, whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2‐W/kg (Normal Operating Mode). Under the scan conditions defined above, the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of 2.4°C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning. In non‐clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the device extends approximately 5 mm from the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent when imaged with a gradient echo pulse sequence and a 3‐Tesla MRI system. The artifact does obscure the device lumen. 7.0 Adverse Events The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is a stenting platform based upon the FDA‐approved Cordis PRECISE Nitinol Stent System (PRECISE). The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System is identical to the PRECISE Stent System with the exception of the working length of the delivery system. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System has a working length of 57 cm whereas the PRECISE Stent System has a working length of 135 cm. The adverse event information presented herein encompasses clinical trial data on the use of the PRECISE Stent System in combination with the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS (see Section 7.1, Observed Adverse Events). Additional adverse event information is derived from clinical trial data on the use of the PRECISE Stent System and the ANGIOGUARD® XP Emboli Capture Guidewire. 7.1 Observed Adverse Events – Clinical Studies Carotid stenting with reverse flow proximal embolic protection using the PRECISE Stent System and the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System was conducted in 65 patients in the ROADSTER study (n=52) and the PROOF study (n=13). In the ROADSTER study, a sub‐study of 52 patients who were at high risk for complications from carotid endarterectomy (CEA) were enrolled to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PRECISE Stent System when used with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System. In the PROOF Study, 13 patients who were at standard and high risk for complications from CEA were enrolled to evaluate the feasibility of the carotid angioplasty and stenting with ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS. These data serve as the basis for the safety and effectiveness of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System which differs from the PRECISE Stent System only in the working length of the delivery system. Safety and effectiveness data for the PRECISE Stent System when used with the ANGIOGUARD XP Emboli Capture Guidewire can be found on FDA’s website at the following URL: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf3/P030047b.pdf. 510(k) clearance of the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS was supported by data from the full cohort of patients enrolled in the ROADSTER study (n=141) when used with any FDA‐approved carotid stent system. The Major Adverse Event rate in the ROADSTER sub‐study population (subjects treated with a combination of the PRECISE Stent and the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS) was 1.9%. One subject experienced a minor ipsilateral stroke ...

Fig. 2 ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System Description (Refer to Fig. 1 for component list) a. Flush the guidewire lumen of the stent delivery system with heparinized saline by connecting a 5‐cc syringe filled with heparinized saline solution to the stopcock attached to the Y connection (9) on the Tuohy Borst valve (1) to expel air. Ensure that the Tuohy Borst proximal end valve (12) is in the locked position to prevent premature stent deployment. Apply positive pressure to the syringe until saline weeps from the guidewire exit port (16). While covering the guidewire exit port (16) with thumb and forefinger, apply positive pressure to the syringe until saline weeps from the catheter tip (4) and the space between the outer sheath radiopaque marker (11) and the catheter tip (4). Continue to flush to ensure all air is removed from the system, then close the stopcock attached to the Y connection (9) on the Tuohy Borst valve. b. Ensure the Tuohy Borst valve (1) connecting the inner shaft and outer sheath is locked by rotating the proximal valve end (12) in a clockwise direction to prevent premature stent deployment. c. Advance the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System over the .014" (0.36 mm) guidewire until the guidewire exit port (16) is just outside the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath valve. Look for and confirm back flow through the guidewire exit port (16) opening. d. After confirming back flow, advance the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System to the lesion site. e. Perform contrast injections in accordance to ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS Instructions for Use. CAUTION: If resistance is met during delivery system introduction, the system should be withdrawn and another system should be used, while the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS remains in place. 4. Slack Removal a. Advance the stent delivery system past the lesion site. b. Pull back the stent delivery system until the radiopaque inner shaft markers (leading and trailing ends) move in position so that they are proximal and distal to the target lesion. c. Ensure the stent delivery system outside the patient remains flat and straight. CAUTION: Prior to stent deployment, remove all slack from the catheter delivery system. Slack in the catheter shaft either outside or inside the patient may result in deployment of the stent beyond the lesion site. 5. Stent Deployment WARNING: The stent is not designed for dragging or repositioning. Once the stent is partially deployed, it cannot be recaptured using the stent delivery system. The mechanism for stent deployment is outer sheath retraction. ...

Deployment is completed by maintaining inner shaft position while retracting the outer sheath and allowing the stent to expand. NOTE: It is recommended that heparin (intravenous) be given during the procedure before the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is placed. The initial bolus doses of heparin should be approximately 3,000 to 5,000 units (with necessary weight adjustments). Additional bolus doses of heparin should be given to maintain an ACT near 250 seconds during the entire procedure. No heparin should be given after the procedure until hemostasis at the puncture site is achieved. a. Verify that the delivery system’s radiopaque inner shaft markers (leading and trailing ends) are proximal and distal to the target lesion. b. Verify that the delivery system's radiopaque inner shaft marker (trailing end) is distal to the radiopaque marker at the tip of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath. c. Unlock the Tuohy Borst proximal valve end connecting the inner shaft and outer sheath of the delivery system. d. Ensure that the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath does not move during deployment. e. Initiate stent deployment by retracting the outer sheath while holding the inner shaft in a fixed position. Deployment is complete when the outer sheath marker passes the proximal inner shaft stent marker. CAUTION: When more than one stent is required to cover the lesion, or if there are multiple lesions, the more distal stent should be placed first. Stenting in this order obviates the need to cross the proximal stent in placement of the distal stent and reduces the chance for dislodging stents that have already been placed. CAUTION: Overlap of sequential stents is necessary but the amount of overlap should be kept to a minimum (approximately 5 mm). In no instance, should more than two (2) stents ever overlap. 6. Post‐Deployment Stent Dilatation WARNING: Long‐term outcomes following repeat dilatation of endothelialized stents are unknown. CAUTION: The delivery system is not designed for the use of power injection. Use of power injection may adversely affect device performance. CAUTION: Re‐crossing a deployed stent with adjunct devices must be performed with caution. a. While using fluoroscopy, withdraw the entire delivery system as one unit, over the guidewire and out of the body. Remove the delivery device from the guidewire. NOTE: If any resistance is met during delivery system withdrawal, advance the outer sheath until the outer sheath marker contacts the catheter tip and withdraw the system as one unit. (Do not remove guidewire.) b. Using fluoroscopy, visualize the stent to verify full deployment. c. If incomplete expansion exists within the stent at any point along the lesion, post‐deployment balloon dilatation (standard PTA technique) can be performed. d. Select an appropriate size PTA balloon dilatation catheter and dilate the lesion with conventional technique. The inflation diameter of the PTA balloon dilatation catheter used for post‐dilatation should not exceed the diameter of the reference vessel. e. Remove the PTA balloon from the patient. 7. Post Stent Placement a. A post‐stent angiogram can be obtained per institutional protocol. b. Remove the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS in accordance with that device’s Instructions for Use. ...
