What It Is

The Jetstream G3 System is a catheter-based device designed for the removal of thrombus and atheromatous plaque from arterial vessels. It consists of a catheter, control pod, and console, working together to mechanically disrupt and aspirate obstructive material. This device is particularly useful in restoring blood flow in peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Treatment of peripheral arterial disease by removing atherosclerotic plaque from peripheral arteries.
  • Removal of thrombus from peripheral arteries during endovascular treatment.
  • Mechanical atherectomy and thrombectomy to help restore or improve blood flow in diseased peripheral vessels.

Clinical Applications

  • Removing plaque from lower-extremity arteries in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
  • Removing thrombus from peripheral arteries during an endovascular procedure.
  • Treating obstructive arterial lesions that limit blood flow to the legs.
  • Use during catheter-based peripheral vascular interventions performed by trained clinicians.

Practical Considerations

  • The system includes a disposable catheter and control pod used with a dedicated console; the catheter size must match the target vessel and lesion.
  • Procedures are performed with fluoroscopic imaging, typically through arterial access such as the common femoral artery; guidewire and access requirements depend on the specific catheter configuration.
  • Use requires training in peripheral endovascular intervention, device operation, aspiration, and management of possible embolization or vessel injury.
  • The FDA record identifies the device as a Class II peripheral atherectomy catheter. MRI safety should be confirmed in the current manufacturer labeling before scanning; do not assume the complete system is MRI safe.
  • Contraindications, vessel-size limits, guidewire compatibility, and handling instructions should be verified in the current instructions for use. Potential complications include perforation, dissection, distal embolization, bleeding, thrombosis, and need for additional treatment.
