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 operates using a rotational cutting mechanism combined with aspiration to clear blockages. This device is particularly useful in treating peripheral artery disease (PAD) and improving blood flow in affected limbs.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Removal of atherosclerotic plaque from peripheral arteries.
  • Removal of thrombus from peripheral arteries.
  • Treatment of peripheral arterial blockages using a catheter-based atherectomy or thrombectomy procedure.

Clinical Applications

  • Atherectomy of peripheral arterial plaque in patients with peripheral artery disease.
  • Mechanical thrombectomy to remove thrombus from peripheral arteries.
  • Endovascular treatment of lower-extremity arterial lesions that restrict blood flow.
  • Plaque or thrombus removal during a peripheral vascular intervention performed by a trained clinician.

Practical Considerations

  • The system includes console models PV31400, PV31300, and PVCN100 and is used with compatible Jetstream catheter components; the catheter size and configuration must match the target vessel and lesion.
  • The device is operated over a compatible guidewire under fluoroscopic imaging, with aspiration used to evacuate plaque and thrombotic material.
  • Use requires clinicians trained in peripheral atherectomy, thrombectomy, guidewire technique, and management of potential complications such as embolization, perforation, dissection, or vessel injury.
  • The FDA record identifies the device as a Class II peripheral atherectomy catheter system under product code MCW; labeling and the specific device instructions should be reviewed before use.
  • MRI safety depends on the specific catheter and console components. The device should not be assumed to be MR safe or MR conditional unless the current manufacturer labeling confirms the conditions.
