The AngioJet Ultra DVX and Xpeedior thrombectomy sets were cleared via the FDA 510(k) pathway on April 8, 2009. Manufactured by Possis Medical, these devices are classified as Class 2 under product code QEZ.

What It Is

The AngioJet Ultra DVX and Xpeedior are mechanical thrombectomy devices designed to remove blood clots from veins. They operate by using high-speed saline jets to create a vacuum effect, which breaks up and removes thrombi. These devices are part of a broader category of endovascular tools used to restore blood flow in patients with venous thromboembolism.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Removal of thrombi from the venous system.

Clinical Applications

  • Endovascular removal of acute venous thrombi in selected patients with deep vein thrombosis.
  • Venous thrombectomy performed by interventional radiology or vascular surgery teams.
  • Removal of thrombus from selected large veins when catheter-based treatment is clinically appropriate.

Reported off-label uses

  • Mechanical thrombectomy for selected pulmonary embolism cases, depending on the specific catheter labeling, anatomy, and institutional protocol.
  • Thrombectomy of dialysis grafts or fistulas with access-circuit-specific devices or configurations, when not covered by the exact FDA-cleared indication for this set.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

  • The record identifies the AngioJet Ultra DVX thrombectomy set, model 106552-001, and AngioJet Ultra Xpeedior thrombectomy set, model 105040-001.
  • The system uses high-pressure saline jets and aspiration; operators must follow the device-specific instructions for catheter preparation, guidewire compatibility, flow settings, and treatment time.
  • The exact catheter diameter, working length, and compatible access equipment vary by model and should be confirmed in the current instructions for use.
  • Contraindications, warnings, and precautions may include unsuitable vessel size or anatomy, inability to safely cross the thrombus, bleeding risk, and conditions in which thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy is inappropriate.
  • These catheters should not be assumed to be MRI safe. MRI compatibility depends on the specific catheter and generator components; verify the current labeling before an MRI examination.
