What It Is

The Jetstream G3 L System is an atherectomy and thrombectomy device designed to remove atherosclerotic plaque and thrombus from peripheral arteries. It consists of a catheter with a control pod and a console, which work together to mechanically excise and aspirate obstructive material from the arterial lumen, improving blood flow.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Removal of atherosclerotic plaque from peripheral arteries.
  • Removal of thrombus from peripheral arteries.
  • Treatment of peripheral arterial obstruction when atherectomy or thrombectomy is clinically appropriate.

Clinical Applications

  • Atherectomy of plaque in peripheral lower-extremity arteries.
  • Mechanical thrombectomy of thrombus in peripheral arteries.
  • Lesion preparation before balloon angioplasty or other endovascular treatment when plaque removal is indicated.
  • Treatment of peripheral arterial disease with obstructive plaque or thrombus in a catheter-based procedure.

Practical Considerations

  • The system includes a disposable catheter with a control pod and a console; the console supplies power and controls catheter operation.
  • Catheter size and working length must match the target vessel, lesion characteristics, access route and compatible guidewire requirements.
  • The procedure requires fluoroscopic or other intravascular imaging guidance and an operator trained in peripheral atherectomy and thrombectomy.
  • The device is intended for peripheral arterial use and should not be assumed to be suitable for coronary, carotid, intracranial or venous applications unless current labeling specifically permits them.
  • MRI safety depends on the specific catheter and system components; confirm the current manufacturer labeling before an MRI examination. The device is not left in the body after treatment.
