2.2. Drug Component Description
The FreePac™ drug coating on the balloon of the IN.PACT AV DCB consists of the drug paclitaxel and the excipient urea. The balloon surface has a nominal paclitaxel dose density
of 3.5 μg/mm2.
2.2.1. Paclitaxel
The active pharmaceutical ingredient in the IN.PACT AV DCB is paclitaxel. The principal mechanism by which paclitaxel inhibits neointimal growth is through the stabilization of
microtubules by preventing their depolymerization during the final G2/M phase of cell division.
The CAS Registry number of paclitaxel is 33069-62-4. The chemical name of paclitaxel is:
Benzenepropanoic acid, ß-(benzoylamino)-α-hydroxy-,6,12b-bis(acetyloxy)-12-(benzoyloxy) -2a,3,4,4a,5,6,9,10,11,12,12a,12b-dodecahydro-4,11-dhydroxy-4a,8,13,13-tetramethyl-5-
oxo-7,11-methano-1H-cyclodeca[3,4]benz[1,2-b]-oxet-9-ylester,[2aR-[2aα,4β,4aβ,6β,9α(αR, βS),11α,12α,12aα,12bα]]
See Chemical Structure of Paclitaxel (Figure 2) below.
Figure 2. Chemical Structure of Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel is a diterpenoid with a characteristic taxane skeleton of 20 carbon atoms, a molecular weight of 853.91 g/mol, and a molecular formula of C47H51NO14. It is a white powder,
has extremely low water solubility, is highly lipophilic, and is freely soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
2.2.2. Urea
The coating utilizes the inactive ingredient urea as an excipient to facilitate the release and transfer of paclitaxel into the vessel wall. See Chemical Structure of Urea (Figure 3) below.
The IN.PACT AV paclitaxel-coated PTA balloon catheter is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, after appropriate vessel preparation, for the treatment of obstructive
lesions up to 100 mm in length in the native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae with reference vessel diameters of 4 to 12 mm.
4. Contraindications
The IN.PACT AV DCB is contraindicated for use in the following anatomy and patient types:
■
Coronary arteries, renal arteries, and supra-aortic/cerebrovascular arteries
■
Patients who cannot receive recommended antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy
■
Patients judged to have a lesion that prevents complete inflation of an angioplasty balloon or proper placement of the delivery system
■
Patients with known allergies or sensitivities to paclitaxel
■
Women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or are intending to become pregnant, or men intending to father children. It is unknown whether paclitaxel will be excreted in human milk
and whether there is a potential for adverse reaction in nursing infants from paclitaxel exposure
5. Warnings
■
A signal for increased risk of late mortality has been identified following the use of paclitaxel-coated balloons and paclitaxel-eluting stents for femoropopliteal arterial
disease beginning approximately 2-3 years post-treatment compared with the use of non-drug coated devices. There is uncertainty regarding the magnitude and
mechanism for the increased late mortality risk, including the impact of repeat paclitaxel-coated device exposure. Inadequate information is available to evaluate the
potential mortality risk associated with the use of paclitaxel-coated devices for the treatment of other diseases/conditions, including this device indicated for use in
arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. Physicians should discuss this late mortality signal and the benefits and risks of available treatment options for their specific
disease/condition with their patients. See Section 11.1 for further information.
■
Use the product prior to the Use-by date specified on the package.
■
Contents are supplied sterile. Do not use the product if the inner packaging is damaged or opened.
■
Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon. Use only the recommended inflation medium (equal parts contrast medium and saline solution).
■
Do not move the guidewire during inflation of the IN.PACT AV DCB.
■
Do not exceed the rated burst pressure (RBP). The RBP is based on the results of in vitro testing. Use of pressures higher than RBP may result in a ruptured balloon with possible
intimal damage and dissection. Refer to Product Component Description (Table 1) for RBP information.
■
The safety of using multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs with a total drug dosage exceeding 15,105 μg paclitaxel has not been evaluated clinically.
6. Precautions
6.1. General Precautions
■
This product should only be used by physicians trained in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
■
Assess risks and benefits before treating patients with a history of severe reaction to or inability to tolerate contrast agents. Identify allergic reactions to contrast media and
antiplatelet therapy before treatment and consider alternatives for appropriate management prior to the procedure.
■
Administer appropriate drug therapy to the patient according to standard protocols for PTA before insertion of the dilatation catheter.
■
Take precautions to prevent or reduce clotting when any catheter is used. Flush and rinse all products entering the vascular system with heparinized normal saline or a similar
solution. For the IN.PACT AV DCB catheter, flush the guidewire lumen through the guidewire port with heparinized normal saline until the fluid exits the distal tip. Do not rinse or
wipe the IN.PACT AV DCB catheter.
■
Prior to the procedure, inspect the product to verify that the product is intact.
■
Handle the product with caution to avoid any damage to the balloon coating or folded balloon.
■
This product is not intended for the expansion or delivery of a stent or graft.
■
Do not use the IN.PACT AV DCB for pre-dilatation or for post-dilatation.
■
This product is designed for single patient use only. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize this product. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may compromise the structural
integrity of the device and/or create a risk of contamination of the device, which could result in patient injury, illness, or death.
■
Do not expose the product to organic solvents such as alcohol.
■
To reduce the potential for vessel damage, the inflated diameter of the balloon should approximately match the inner diameter of the vessel just distal to the lesion.
■
The use of this product carries the risks associated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, including thrombosis, vascular complications, and/or bleeding events.
6.2. Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen
It is recommended that single antiplatelet therapy (e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, or prasugrel), at a minimum, should be administered before the procedure and for at least
4 weeks after the procedure. Prolonged antiplatelet therapy can be given at the discretion of the physician.
6.3. Use of Multiple Balloons
The extent of the patient’s exposure to the drug coating is directly related to the number of balloons used. Refer to Using Multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs (Section 13.9) and Product
Matrix and Paclitaxel Content (Table 2) for details regarding the use of multiple balloons and a product matrix containing the nominal paclitaxel content for each device size,
respectively.
6.4. Use in Conjunction with Other Procedures
The safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT AV DCB used in conjunction with other drug-eluting stents or drug-coated balloons in the same procedure has not been evaluated.
6.5. Drug Interaction
Formal drug interaction studies have not been conducted with the IN.PACT AV DCB. In the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) sub-study of the IN.PACT SFA Trial, systemic levels of
paclitaxel following treatment were low and cleared rapidly, reducing possible impact of drug-drug interactions due to concomitant medications. Consideration for both systemic and
4 Instructions for Use English
Page 7
local drug interactions should be given when deciding to use IN.PACT AV DCB(s) in a patient who is taking a drug with known interactions to paclitaxel or when deciding to initiate
therapy with such a drug in a patient who has recently been treated with IN.PACT AV DCB(s). Please refer to Drug Information (Section 8).
6.6. Balloon Handling and Preparation Precautions
■
Do not remove the device from the pouch until it is needed for immediate use.
■
Handle the device with caution to avoid any damage to the balloon coating or folded balloon.
■
Keep the protective sheath in place when purging the balloon catheter of air bubbles.
■
Carefully remove and discard the balloon’s protective sheath.
■
Do not use the protective sheath as an introduction aid or a rewrapping tool.
■
Do not apply positive pressure to the balloon during preparation.
6.7. Balloon Placement Precautions
■
Do not move the guidewire during inflation of the balloon.
■
Do not manipulate the IN.PACT AV DCB while inflated.
■
Catheter applications vary. Select the technique on the basis of the patient’s condition and the experience of the physician.
■
Introducer sheaths used must have lumen sizes that are suitable to accommodate the IN.PACT AV DCB. See Product Component Description (Table 1) for the introducer sheath
compatibility and crossing profile of each device size.
■
If resistance occurs during manipulation, ascertain the cause via fluoroscopy, road mapping, or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before moving the IN.PACT AV DCB
backward or forward.
■
Do not manipulate the IN.PACT AV DCB without sufficient fluoroscopy.
■
Use a pressure-monitoring device to prevent over-pressurization. Refer to Product Component Description (Table 1) for RBP information.
■
To ensure full coverage of the entire lesion, the balloon diameter must match the inner diameter of the reference vessel distal to the lesion and the balloon length must exceed the
lesion length by approximately 1 cm on both ends. When using multiple balloons, do so only as described in Using Multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs (Section 13.9).
■
Never advance the IN.PACT AV DCB without the guidewire extending from the tip.
■
Balloon inflation must be for at least 180 seconds. Adequate drug transfer occurs in the first 60 seconds of inflation. The additional 120 seconds is intended solely for mechanical
dilatation purposes for optimal PTA.
■
Appropriate vessel preparation is required prior to use of the IN.PACT AV DCB. Vessel preparation of the target lesion using high-pressure PTA for pre-dilatation was studied in
the IN.PACT AV Access clinical study. Other methods of vessel preparation, such as atherectomy, have not been studied clinically with IN.PACT AV DCB.
■
Appropriate vessel preparation as determined by the physician to achieve residual stenosis of ≤ 30% is required prior to use of the IN.PACT AV DCB.
6.8. Balloon Catheter Removal Precautions
■
Prior to withdrawing the balloon catheter from the lesion, completely deflate the balloon under vacuum.
■
Center the IN.PACT AV DCB relative to the introducer sheath when withdrawing, and use caution when removing the IN.PACT AV DCB.
■
Should unusual resistance be felt at any time when withdrawing the balloon catheter back into the introducer sheath, remove the balloon catheter and the introducer sheath as a
single unit to reduce the risk of vascular damage. This must be done under direct visualization with fluoroscopy.
■
If removal of the IN.PACT AV DCB is required prior to deployment and a repeat attempt is desired, use a new IN.PACT AV DCB.
6.9. Post-procedure Precautions
■
Administer post-procedure antiplatelet therapy as described in Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen (Section 6.2).
7. Use in Special Populations
7.1. Pregnancy and Lactation
The IN.PACT AV DCB is contraindicated in women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or are intending to become pregnant, or men intending to father children. It is unknown whether
paclitaxel will be excreted in human milk and whether there is a potential adverse reaction in nursing infants from paclitaxel exposure
7.2. Gender
The outcomes are shown in Table 10. The results of an interaction analysis indicate that the treatment differences between the IN.PACT AV DCB study group and the PTA control
group are consistent between male and female subjects.
7.3. Ethnicity
Due to the nature of the global trial design, the IN.PACT AV DCB study did not include a sufficient number of patients to assess treatment differences in safety or effectiveness due to
ethnicity.
7.4. Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of the IN.PACT AV DCB in pediatric patients has not been established.
7.5. Geriatric Use
The IN.PACT AV DCB study had an upper age limit of 94 years, and had predefined study subgroups of ≤ the median age of 67.0 years and > the median age of 67.0 years. Within
both subgroups, the IN.PACT AV DCB study group showed improvement on the primary effectiveness endpoints, and no statistically significant difference between treatment groups
on the primary safety endpoint. The results of an exploratory analysis indicate that the treatment differences between IN.PACT AV DCB and PTA groups are generally consistent
between 2 age groups defined by median age.
8. Drug Information
8.1. Mechanism of Action
The mechanism(s) by which the IN.PACT AV DCB affects neointimal production has not been fully established. The principal mechanism by which paclitaxel inhibits neointimal growth
is through the stabilization of microtubules by preventing their depolymerization during the final G2/M phase of cell division. Consequently, the microtubule network may not maintain
the dynamic rearrangement required for a normal mitotic process.
8.2. Pharmacokinetics
Human pharmacokinetics was investigated as a sub-study of the IN.PACT SFA Trial in 25 patients receiving 2850 μg to 16,900 μg of paclitaxel. Paclitaxel systemic exposure in the
treated subjects was low and cleared rapidly with a bi-phasic decline. The C
pharmacokinetic sub-study demonstrated low systemic exposure with rapid clearance of paclitaxel.
8.3. Metabolism
Metabolic transformation of paclitaxel occurs predominantly in the liver through cytochromes P450 2C8 (CYP2C8) and 3A4 (CYP3A4). Agents which could compete with or inhibit the
activity of the CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes may increase paclitaxel plasma levels. For more information on potential drug interactions, see Drug Interaction (Section 6.5).
8.4. Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity, and Reproductive Toxicity
No long-term studies in animals have been published in peer-reviewed literature to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of paclitaxel. Paclitaxel was not mutagenic in the Ames test or
the CHO/HGPRT gene mutation assay. However, the mechanism by which paclitaxel interferes with cellular proliferation may give rise to loss of chromosomes during cell division as
a result of microtubule stabilization during cell division. Paclitaxel is an established aneugenic drug in vitro on human normal cells and will also produce a positive response in the
mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay. It has not been established that paclitaxel exerts any direct action on DNA to induce strand fragmentation
Reproductive toxicity has been previously evaluated in vivo in both rabbits and rats. When administered during rabbit fetal organogenesis, paclitaxel doses of 3.0 mg/kg/day caused
embryo- and fetotoxicity; maternal toxicity was also observed. No teratogenic effects were observed at 1.0 mg/kg/day; effects at higher doses could not be assessed due to fetal
mortality. In rats, fertility impairment was observed at doses ≥ 1.0 mg/kg/day. For comparison, the average dose of paclitaxel in the IN.PACT SFA PK Sub-study was 7454 μg, with an
average subject weight of 91 kg, for a theoretical normalized dose of 0.082 mg/kg (assuming all the paclitaxel from the coating enters the systemic circulation).

11. Summary of Clinical Study
11.1. Late Mortality Signal for Paclitaxel-Coated Devices
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials published in December 2018 by Katsanos et. al. identified an increased risk of late mortality at 2 years and beyond for paclitaxelcoated balloons and paclitaxel-eluting stents used to treat femoropopliteal arterial disease. In response to these data, FDA performed a patient-level meta-analysis of long-term
follow-up data from the pivotal premarket randomized trials of paclitaxel-coated devices used to treat femoropopliteal disease using available clinical data through May 2019. The
meta-analysis also showed a late mortality signal in study subjects treated with paclitaxel-coated devices compared to patients treated with uncoated devices. Specifically, in the
3 randomized trials with a total of 1090 patients and available 5-year data, the crude mortality rate was 19.8% (range 15.9% - 23.4%) in patients treated with paclitaxel-coated devices
compared to 12.7% (range 11.2% - 14.0%) in subjects treated with uncoated devices. The relative risk for increased mortality at 5 years was 1.57 (95% confidence interval 1.16 -
2.13), which corresponds to a 57% relative increase in mortality in patients treated with paclitaxel-coated devices. As presented at the June 2019 FDA Advisory Committee Meeting,
an independent meta-analysis of similar patient-level data provided by VIVA Physicians, a vascular medicine organization, reported similar findings with a hazard ratio of 1.38 (95%
confidence interval 1.06 - 1.80). Additional analyses have been conducted and are underway that are specifically designed to assess the relationship of mortality to paclitaxel-coated
devices.
The presence and magnitude of the late mortality risk should be interpreted with caution because of multiple limitations in the available data, including wide confidence intervals due
to a small sample size, pooling of studies of different paclitaxel-coated devices that were not intended to be combined, substantial amounts of missing study data, no clear evidence of
a paclitaxel dose effect on mortality, and no identified pathophysiologic mechanism for the late deaths.
Paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents improve blood flow to the legs and decrease the likelihood of repeat procedures to reopen blocked blood vessels compared to uncoated
devices. The benefits of paclitaxel-coated devices (e.g., reduced reinterventions) should be considered in individual patients along with potential risks (e.g., late mortality).
Inadequate information is available to evaluate the potential mortality risk associated with the use of paclitaxel-coated devices for the treatment of other diseases/conditions including
this device indicated for use in arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
In the IN.PACT AV Access study, Kaplan Meier mortality estimates at 6 and 12 months are 5.5% [2.7%, 9.7%], and 9.4% [5.5%, 14.6%], respectively, for the IN.PACT™ AV DCB
treatment device and 2.0% [0.5%, 5.2%] and 9.6% [5.5%, 15.0%], respectively, for the standard PTA control device. Additional information regarding long-term outcomes can be
found in the following sections.

11.2. Investigational Design
11.2.1. Description of Study Design and Plan
The IN.PACT AV Access study was a prospective, global, multicenter, single-blinded, randomized (1:1) clinical study evaluating the IN.PACT™ AV DCB (study group) vs. standard
PTA (control group) for the treatment of de novo or non-stented restenotic obstructive lesions up to 100 mm in length in the arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. Eligible subjects who
provided informed consent and met all inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 based upon lesion type (de novo, restenotic) to the control or study group. Total enrollment
was 330 subjects at 29 global sites, with 204 (62%) of subjects coming from U.S. sites, 112 (34%) of subjects coming from Japan sites, and 14 (4%) of subjects coming from New
Zealand sites. There was no minimum enrollment requirement at each site; however, individual sites were not allowed to enroll more than 20% of the total study subjects. Follow-up
was completed at 30 days and 6 months. Subjects will be followed up out to 5 years.
Defined as freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) or access circuit thrombosis measured through 6 months post-procedure.
Primary Safety Endpoint: Serious Adverse Event Rate within 30 Days
Defined as the Serious Adverse Event (SAE) rate involving the AV access circuit through 30 days post-procedure.
There were 2 primary hypotheses for the study. One was for the primary safety endpoint through 30 days and one was for the primary effectiveness endpoint through 6 months. Each
hypothesis was tested on the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) subjects at a one-sided significance level of 2.5%, as prespecified in the Statistical Analysis Plan. The control group is standard
percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), which is an active alternative treatment outcome. The control treatment is a legally marketed alternative with similar indications for use.
For the primary safety endpoint, the study and control groups were compared in a non-inferiority format under the following hypothesis.
H0: πT ≥ πc + 0.075
HA: πT < πc + 0.075
For the primary effectiveness endpoint, the study (pT) and control (pC) groups were compared in a superiority format under the following hypothesis:
H0: pT ≤ p
C
HA: pT > p
C
To control the overall Type I error the study was deemed successful only if both primary effectiveness and primary safety endpoints passed the hypothesis testing. Once the 2 primary
endpoints have succeeded the hypothesis tests, the following key secondary endpoints were compared between treatment groups sequentially by using ITT analysis set in a
superiority manner, each at a one-sided significance level of 0.025, in the following order. The testing procedure would stop at the first failure to reject null hypothesis.

11.2.3. Sample Size
Globally, 330 subjects at 29 global sites, with 204 (62%) of subjects coming from U.S. sites, 112 (34%) of subjects coming from Japan sites, and 14 (4%) of subjects coming from New
Zealand sites. There was no minimum enrollment requirement at each site; however, individual sites were not allowed to enroll more than 20% of the total study subjects.
11.3. Demographic and Clinical Characteristics
Site reported baseline demographic and clinical characteristics for all 330 enrolled subjects are provided in Table 3 below. Treatment groups were well balanced with no statistically
significant differences in baseline demographics and clinical characteristics between IN.PACT AV DCB and PTA subjects. IN.PACT AV DCB subjects had a mean age of 65.8 years,
65.9% were male, 62.9% had diabetes, and 91.2% had hypertension. Similarly, PTA subjects had a mean age of 65.5 years, 63.1% were male, 68.8% had diabetes, and 94.4% had
hypertension. All subjects (100%) reported renal insufficiency, have been receiving hemodialysis for a mean of 4.3 years, and have had their target AVF for a mean of 3.3 years. The
most common type of AVF is radiocephalic (50.3% (166/330)), followed by brachiocephalic (36.4% (120/330)), brachiobasilic (9.7% (32/330)), and other (3.6% (12/330)). All subjects
(100% (330/330)) presented with clinical symptoms indicating AV access dysfunction at baseline. Overall, baseline characteristics and comorbidities were well matched.

11.5. Methods
Subjects presenting with a stenosed AV fistula in the arm, confirmed by site angiography, were enrolled in the study. After the target lesion size and stenosis were confirmed by
angiography, pre-dilatation of the target vessel was performed. After successful pre-dilatation in both treatment arms, subjects with documented angiographic residual stenosis ≤ 30%
were enrolled and randomized 1:1 for subsequent treatment with IN.PACT™ AV DCB (Study) or standard PTA (Control). Subjects that were randomized and had an adjunct
procedure will be followed for the entire duration of the study. Any adjunct procedures were done according to standard of care and were captured on the electronic case report forms.
All deaths, adverse events leading to AV access circuit re-interventions, procedure-, device- or therapy-related adverse events, and SAEs involving the access circuit were
adjudicated by an independent (blinded) Clinical Events Committee (CEC).
The Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population consists of all randomized subjects, irrespective of the treatment actually delivered.
11.6. Clinical Results – ITT Subjects
11.6.1. Primary Safety Results
The primary safety endpoint was Serious Adverse Event (SAE) rate involving the AV access circuit through 30-day postprocedure. The 30-day SAE rate involving the AV access
circuit was 4.2% in the IN.PACT AV DCB study group and 4.4% in the PTA control group (noninferiority p=0.002). The upper limit of 95% confidence interval for the risk difference was
5%, less than the noninferiority margin (7.5%), demonstrating that IN.PACT AV DCB was noninferior to PTA in terms of the primary safety endpoint.

A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is an adverse event that a) led to death, b) led to a serious deterioration in the health of the subject, resulting in a life-threatening illness or injury, or a
permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, or in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, or medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or
permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function, c) led to foetal distress, foetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.
Table 11 provides a summary of the events that were classified by the site as SAEs, whether or not related to the device, procedure or therapy. In total 62.9% of IN.PACT AV DCB

13.2. Balloon Catheter Size Selection
■
The nominal balloon diameter must match the inner diameter of the reference vessel distal to the target lesion. The balloon length must exceed the lesion length by approximately
1 cm on the proximal and distal ends.
■
If the lesion is longer than the longest available IN.PACT AV DCB, use multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs to treat the lesion, using the recommended overlap, as described in Using
Multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs (Section 13.9), Recommended Overlap When Using Multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs (Figure 8), and Treatment of a Tandem Lesion with Multiple IN.PACT
AV DCBs (Figure 10).
13.3. Recommendations for Optimal Treatment
■
Appropriate vessel preparation is required prior to use of the IN.PACT AV DCB. Vessel preparation of the target lesion using high-pressure PTA for predilatation was studied in the
IN.PACT AV Access clinical study. Other methods of vessel preparation, such as atherectomy, have not been studied clinically with IN.PACT AV DCB.
18 Instructions for Use English
Page 21
■
Use appropriate vessel preparation as determined by the physician to achieve residual stenosis of ≤ 30% prior to use of the IN.PACT AV DCB.
■
When using an uncoated high-pressure PTA balloon catheter, use a PTA balloon with a diameter matching the reference vessel diameter distal to the target lesion to facilitate the
passage of the appropriately sized IN.PACT AV DCB.
Note: Following vessel preparation, if the lesion cannot be crossed with the first inserted IN.PACT AV DCB, the second attempt must be made with a new IN.PACT AV DCB in
order to ensure effective drug delivery.
■
As noted in Delivery and Dilatation Procedure (Section 13.7), for optimal mechanical dilatation of the vessel, inflate the balloon for at least 180 seconds. Adequate drug transfer
occurs in the first 60 seconds of inflation. The additional 120 seconds is intended solely for mechanical dilatation purposes for optimal PTA.
■
Post-dilatation should be completed according to the physician’s discretion. If adequate PTA results are not obtained after the IN.PACT AV DCB(s) balloon inflation, post-dilatation
using a non–drug-coated PTA balloon catheter of shorter length than the previously used IN.PACT AV DCB is recommended.
■
It is important to provide drug delivery to the entire length of the treated vessel prior to post-dilatation or provisional stenting.
13.4. PTA Preparation
1. Prepare the inflation device, introducer sheath, and guidewire according to the manufacturer's instructions. See Table 1 for help selecting the appropriately sized introducer
sheath.
2. Administer the appropriate medication to the patient prior to treatment as described in Pre-procedure and Post-procedure Medication Regimen (Section 6.2).
3. Prepare the vascular access site according to standard practice.
4. Insert a guidewire through the hemostatic valve following the manufacturer's instructions or standard practice. Advance the guidewire carefully into the introducer sheath.
5. Attach a torque device to the wire, if desired. Under fluoroscopy, advance the guidewire to the desired vessel, then across the stenosis. Remove the torque device once the
guidewire is positioned.
13.5. IN.PACT AV DCB Preparation
1. The catheter is packaged in a protective tray. Verify that the catheter and sterile packaging have not been damaged in shipment. After all preparation has been completed,
carefully remove the catheter from the package. Do not remove the IN.PACT AV DCB from the packaging until it is ready for insertion.
Note: Avoid exposing the balloon drug coating to excessive handling or contact with liquids prior to preparation and delivery as the coating may be susceptible to damage or
premature drug release.
2. The folded balloon catheter may contain air that should be purged prior to use. Connect a stopcock to the balloon inflation port of the catheter hub. Connect a luer-lock syringe
partially filled with saline solution to the stopcock. Open the stopcock. Keeping the syringe in a downward vertical position, draw back the plunger of the syringe and create a
vacuum for 30 seconds in the balloon inflation line until air is completely evacuated.
Caution: If the air bubbles cannot be completely evacuated, there may be a leak in the catheter. Discard the device and select a new IN.PACT AV DCB.
Note: It is important to maintain the vacuum seal in order to keep the balloon profile tight before insertion into the introducer sheath.
Note: Keep the protective sheath in place during the purging procedure.
3. After air is completely evacuated, close the stopcock and remove the syringe.
4. Remove the protective sheath from the balloon and discard. Do not use the protective sheath as an introduction aid or rewrapping tool.
5. Connect the filled syringe to the guidewire port. Flush the guidewire lumen through the guidewire port with heparinized normal saline until the fluid exits the distal tip.
Caution: Do not rinse or wipe the IN.PACT AV DCB catheter.
Note: Drops of saline must emerge from the device tip.
Note: To minimize the introduction of air, aspirate and flush the system and keep a tight catheter connection throughout the procedure.
13.6. Inflation Device Connection to the IN.PACT AV DCB
1. Fill the inflation device with 10 mL of saline-contrast mixture. Do not use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon. Use only the recommended inflation medium (equal
parts contrast medium and saline solution). Do not apply positive pressure to the balloon during preparation.
2. Evacuate all air present in the inflation device.
Note: The inflation device should have no air bubbles present, either in the tube or in the cylinder; to remove any air lodged, keeping the tip upward, purge approximately 1 cc of
saline-contrast mixture.
3. With the stopcock connected to the balloon port in the closed position, securely couple the inflation device to the stopcock. Verify that no air is evident in both the stopcock and
the inflation device's connection.
13.7. Delivery and Dilatation Procedure
1. Load the distal tip of the balloon catheter over the prepositioned guidewire, which has been placed through the lesion.
2. Advance the catheter under direct fluoroscopic visualization. To avoid kinking, advance the catheter through the hemostatic valve slowly and in small increments while the
stopcock is closed. Open the hemostatic valve to allow for easy passage of the balloon and to prevent damage to the balloon coating. Once the balloon has passed through, the
hemostatic valve should be closed as much as is needed to prevent blood return while still permitting easy movements of the catheter.
Note: If significant resistance is encountered, do not advance the catheter through the introducer sheath.
3. Under fluoroscopy, use the balloon radiopaque markers to position the balloon within the lesion to be dilated. If the inflation device has not already been connected, connect the
inflation device according to instructions in Inflation Device Connection to the IN.PACT AV DCB (Section 13.6).
4. Open the stopcock and inflate the balloon to the appropriate pressure as described in the Compliance Chart included in the device packaging, then close the stopcock to maintain
pressure. For optimal mechanical dilatation of the vessel, inflate the balloon for at least 180 seconds. Adequate drug transfer occurs in the first 60 seconds of inflation. If the
IN.PACT AV DCB was inflated for at least 60 seconds but the vessel requires additional dilatation due to suboptimal PTA results, a plain PTA balloon catheter of the operator's
choice can be used (PTA balloon length should be of shorter length compared to the IN.PACT AV DCB).
Warning: Do not exceed rated burst pressure as indicated on the device label. Use of pressures higher than those specified on the device label may result in a ruptured balloon
with possible intimal damage and dissection.
Note: The IN.PACT AV DCB is intended for single inflation only.
13.8. Removal Procedure
1. Open the stopcock and deflate the balloon by applying negative pressure to the inflation device. Allow approximately 60 seconds for full balloon deflation. Larger balloons may
require more time for deflation. Deflation of the balloon should be confirmed by absence of contrast medium within the balloon.
Note: The balloon must be completely deflated before removal.
2. Upon confirmation of full deflation, disconnect the inflation device, then open the hemostatic valve and withdraw the deflated balloon catheter from the introducer sheath, through
the hemostatic valve. Tighten the knurled knob on the hemostatic valve.
3. If necessary, the balloon catheter can be exchanged for different balloon types or sizes using the guidewire/ introducer that remains in the vessel.
Note: If further dilatation is required, post-dilatation should be performed with a non–drug-coated PTA balloon catheter of shorter length than the IN.PACT AV DCB.
4. When complete, withdraw the guidewire/introducer, and close the hemostatic valve.
Note: After use, this device may be a biohazard. Handle and dispose of all such devices in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable hospital, administrative,
and government regulations.
13.9. Using Multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs
Warning: The safety of using multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs with a total drug dosage exceeding 15,105 μg paclitaxel has not been evaluated clinically.
Additional IN.PACT AV DCBs should be used to treat a lesion only under either of the following circumstances:
■
The first IN.PACT AV DCB bursts prior to 60 seconds of inflation time.

The lesion length requires more than 1 IN.PACT AV DCB to fully cover the lesion and extend approximately 1 cm at both the proximal and distal edges.
If multiple IN.PACT AV DCBs are required due to a lesion length greater than the longest available DCB, the balloons must overlap by approximately 1 cm. The size of additional
DCBs should not be longer than required to allow for this overlap and complete the lesion coverage with approximately 1 cm extended beyond the lesion both proximally and distally.
Proper size selection is important to avoid excessive overlap. Refer to Figure 7 through Figure 10 for further guidance.
Note: In order to reduce procedure-related complications, use only the minimum number of devices needed to cover the lesion(s).
