The Jetstream G2 System received FDA clearance through the 510(k) pathway on January 13, 2009. It is manufactured by Pathway Medical Technologies and is classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Jetstream G2 System is a catheter-based device designed for the removal of thrombus and atheromatous plaque from arteries. It consists of a catheter and a control pod that work together to mechanically break down and aspirate blockages. This device is particularly useful in treating peripheral arterial disease by restoring blood flow in occluded vessels.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Removal of thrombus from peripheral arteries.
  • Removal of atheromatous plaque from peripheral arteries.
  • Use during endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial obstruction when mechanical plaque or thrombus removal is clinically appropriate.

Clinical Applications

  • Mechanical removal of plaque in peripheral arterial disease.
  • Mechanical removal of thrombus from an occluded peripheral artery.
  • Endovascular treatment of obstructive disease in lower-extremity peripheral arteries.
  • Plaque or thrombus debulking before or with other peripheral arterial treatments, when consistent with the device labeling and procedural plan.

Practical Considerations

  • The system includes a Jetstream G2 catheter and a separate control pod or console; both are required for operation.
  • Catheter sizes are selected according to the target vessel diameter and lesion characteristics. The treating clinician must confirm compatibility with the intended guidewire, access system and other procedural equipment.
  • The device is used under fluoroscopic imaging through vascular access, commonly from the femoral artery; local anesthesia with sedation or, less commonly, general anesthesia may be used.
  • Potential complications include vessel injury, perforation, dissection, distal embolization, bleeding, thrombosis and contrast-related complications. Patient selection and contraindications should follow the current FDA-cleared labeling and manufacturer instructions.
  • MRI safety depends on the specific catheter and system components and their labeling. The device should not be taken into the MRI environment unless its current instructions identify the components as MR Safe or MR Conditional under specified conditions.
