MVP® Micro Vascular Plug System
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The MVP® Micro Vascular Plug System is a self-expanding vessel occlusion device. The
MVP Device is ovoid-shape, comprised of nitinol and secured at both ends with platinum
marker bands. The device incorporates a PTFE partial cover. The proximal marker band
attaches to a wire that pushes the device through a commercially available microcatheter
to the intended treatment site. The "delivery wire" detaches from the MVP Device by
mechanical means.
The MVP System is packaged as a single unit with the MVP Device, introducer sheath and
detachable delivery wire. The System is provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended
for single use only.

ARTIFACT INFORMATION
MR image quality may be compromised if the area of interest is in the exact same area
or relatively close to the position of the MVP® Micro Vascular Plug Device . Therefore,
optimization of MR imaging parameters to compensate for the presence of this device may
be necessary. The maximum artifact size (i.e., as seen on the gradient echo pulse sequence)
extends approximately 5-mm relative to the size and shape of the MVP® Micro Vascular Plug
Device.

PREPARATION FOR USE
1.
In order to achieve optimal performance of the MVP System and to reduce the risk
of thromboembolic complication, a continuous saline ush should be maintained
between a) access sheath and guide catheter, b) Microcatheter and guide catheter,
and c) Microcatheter and guidewire and MVP System.
2.
Place the appropriate guide catheter following recommended procedure. Connect
a rotating hemostatic valve (RHV) to the hub of the guide catheter. Attach a 3-way
stopcock to the side arm of the RHV. Connect a heparinized saline line for continuous
ush.
3.
Check all ttings so air is not introduced into guide catheter or Microcatheter during
continuous ush.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1.
Access the targeted vessel and perform an angiogram using standard technique to
measure the vessel diameter at the desired occlusion site. Ensure the targeted vessel
meets the recommended diameter (see Table 1).
2.
Ensure that the occlusion site is long enough to accommodate the implanted MVP
Device without obstructing unintended vessels.
3.
Select a Microcatheter (see Table 2 for recommended size) and prepare according to
the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Note: the delivery Microcatheter length must be less than or equal to 150cm.
4.
Insert the guidewire and advance the Microcatheter over the guidewire until the distal
tip is near the leading edge of the occlusion site.
5.
Remove the guidewire from the Microcatheter.
6.
Remove the MVP System from the dispenser tube by gently removing the yellow
Introducer Sheath from the two outer clips and pull the MVP System out of the Clear
Housing Tube. Gently grasp the Introducer Sheath proximal to the MVP Device, slowly
remove the MVP Device, delivery wire and introducer sheath simultaneously from the
dispenser tube. See Figure 2.

7.
Inspect the MVP System thoroughly for damage. If damage exists, replace with a
new MVP System.
8.
Flush the MVP System by gently immersing a few centimeters of the introducer sheath
and the MVP Device in heparinized saline.
9.
Draw the MVP Device into the Introducer Sheath by pulling the delivery wire until the
distal tip of the MVP Device is just covered by the Introducer Sheath.
Note: If the MVP Device is pulled too far into the introducer sheath it may not ush
correctly; two holes in the introducer sheath located 3 cm and 6cm proximal to the tip
facilitate air purging and ushing.
10.
Insert the MVP System, by inserting the distal end of the Introducer Sheath through
the RHV and into the hub of the Microcatheter until the sheath is rmly seated.
Tighten the RHV to prevent back ow of blood, but not so tight as to damage the MVP
System during its introduction into the Microcatheter.
11.
Visually verify the ushing solution is infusing normally. Saline drip should be seen
exiting the proximal end of the introducer sheath.
12.
Loosen the RHV enough to advance the MVP Device and delivery wire as a system,
but not enough to allow back ow of blood. Remove the Introducer Sheath over the
delivery wire's proximal end.
13.
Advance the delivery wire and MVP Device until the distal platinum marker of the MVP
Device is aligned with the Microcatheter distal marker band.
14.
Con rm that the marker bands are positioned optimally, and deploy the MVP Device
by maintaining forward pressure on the delivery wire and unsheath the MVP Device by
pulling the Microcatheter back slowly.
15.
If the device position is unsatisfactory:
◦
Stabilize the delivery wire and advance the Microcatheter distally until the
MVP Device is recaptured within the catheter.
◦
Reposition and deploy the device, or remove the device from the patient.
