Device Description
The IVL Catheter is a proprietary lithotripsy device delivered through the peripheral arterial
system of the lower extremities to the site of an otherwise difficult to treat calcified
stenosis. Energizing the lithotripsy device will generate pulsatile mechanical energy
within the target treatment site, disrupting calcium within the lesion and allowing
subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. The IVL
Catheter is comprised of an integrated balloon with an array of integrated lithotripsy
emitters for the localized delivery of pulsatile mechanical energy. The system consists ofan IVL Catheter, an IVL Connector Cable and an IVL Generator. The IVL Catheter isavailable in nine (9) sizes: 3.5 x 60mm, 4.0 x 60mm, 4.5 x 60mm, 5.0 x 60mm, 5.5
x60mm, 6.0 x 60mm, 6.5 x 60mm, 7.0 x 60mm, and 8.0 x 60mm. The M5+ IVL Peripheral
Catheter is compatible with a 6 or 7F sheath and has a working length of 135cm. Refer toFigure 1 below for IVL Catheter components.

angioplasty pressure and 10 atm is RBP (Rated Burst
Pressure) of the balloon.

Shockwave M5+ Peripheral IVL System Sequence Chart
The following Shockwave M5+ Peripheral IVL System pulsing sequence must be followed
during treatment. Do not utilize a pulsing sequence other than those outlined in the IVL
System Sequence Chart below. Insertion of any size M5+ IVL Catheter will automaticallyprogram the IVL Generator with the following treatment sequence:
Treatment Frequency
Maximum Number of Continuous Pulses (1cycle)
Minimum Pause Time
Maximum Total Pulses Per Catheter

10 Seconds
Displayed on generator

In the event the user attempts to deliver more than the maximum number of continuous
pulses allowed, the IVL Generator Is designed to stop automatically. To resume pulsing,wait at least the minimum pause time before resuming therapy. The therapy button must
be released and pressed again to resume therapy. For more information, refer to the IVL
Generator and Connector Cable Operator’s Manual.

Figure 1: Shockwave M5+ Peripheral IVL Catheter
The Shockwave M5+ Peripheral IVL Catheter shaft contains an inflation lumen, aguidewire lumen, and the lithotripsy emitters. The inflation lumen is used for inflationand deflation of the balloon with 50/50 saline/contrast medium. The guidewire lumen
enables the use of a 0.014” guidewire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to andthrough the target stenosis. The system is designed as ‘Over-the-wire’ (OTW) with
135cm shaft working length, so an exchange length (300cm) guidewire is indicated.
The emitters are positioned along the length of the balloon working length for deliveryof pulsatile mechanical energy. The balloon is located near the distal tip of thecatheter. Two radiopaque marker bands within the balloon denote the length of theballoon to aid in positioning of the balloon during treatment. The balloon is designed
to provide an expandable segment of known length and diameter at a specificpressure. The proximal hub has three ports: one for inflation/deflation of the balloon,
one for guidewire lumen, and one for connection to the IVL Connector Cable.

If the maximum pulse count is reached as displayed on the generator, the catheter can nolonger be used. If further therapy is needed, discard this catheter and obtain a new one.
Caution: Do not exceed 180 pulses in the same treatment segment.
Contraindications for Use
The IVL System is contraindicated for the following:
1.
Unable to pass 0.014” guidewire across the lesion.
2.
This device is not intended for treatment of in-stent restenosis.
3.
This device is not intended for use in coronary, carotid, or cerebrovascular arteries.
Warnings
1.
This device is intended for single (one) time use only. DO NOT re-sterilize and/or
reuse.

A total of 95 subjects were enrolled in the study. Baseline characteristics were consistent
with a complex, calcified patient population. Calcium burden was significant with severe
calcification involving both sides of the arterial wall observed by the Core Lab in 54.7% of
the subjects, and an average length of calcium of 93.4 mm. Ninety-four (94) of the 95
subjects received treatment with the IVL System. The procedures were completed with alow use of adjunctive therapies including pre and post-dilatation balloons and embolic
protection filters, along with a low use of stents in this difficult to treat population.
The study met its primary safety endpoint. The lower bound of the 95% confidence
interval for freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days of 97.0% was above
the performance goal of 91.3%. The freedom from MAE at 30 days was 100%.
The study also met its primary effectiveness endpoint. The lower bound of the 95%
confidence interval for procedural success of 97.0% was above the performance goal of
89.3%. Procedural success was defined as <50% with or without adjunctive therapy was
100%.
The secondary safety endpoint, freedom from MAE at 6 months, continued to befavorable as shown in the table below. Freedom from MAE at 6 months was 96.8%. There
were no cardiovascular deaths, target limb major amputations, perforations, symptomatic
thrombus or distal embolization events.
Freedom from Major Adverse Events at 6 Months

Precautions

Summary of Clinical Studies
To evaluate the safety and performance of the IVL System, Shockwave Medical, Inc.
conducted a two-phased, non-randomized, multi-center study for the treatment of
peripheral stenotic lesions (PAD I and PAD II, combined referred to as the DISRUPT PAD
Program). Patients with peripheral arterial disease of Rutherford Category 2, 3, and 4

Caution: IVL Catheter once pulled out of the body should not be reinserted for
additional inflation or lithotripsy treatments. Balloon can be damaged in theprocess.

In conclusion, the DISRUPT PAD program met the study success criteria. The IVL
System demonstrated compelling safety with minimal vessel injury, and minimal use ofstenting. Acute effectiveness results showed high procedural success and a large acutegain in vessel diameter post procedure. Patency, TLR and functional outcomes were
durable through 6 months in available patients. These results demonstrate the safety
and performance of the IVL System for the treatment of subjects with calcified, stenotic
lesions.

Patient Information
Physicians should instruct patients to seek medical attention immediately for signs andsymptoms of decreased peripheral blood flow. There are no known limitations to normal
daily activities. Patients should be instructed to comply with the medical regimen asprescribed by their physician.

Caution: Do not press the therapy button unless the balloon is filled with 50%
saline/ 50% contrast medium because this may damage the balloon.
Delivering the IVL Catheter to the Treatment Site
1.
Advance the 0.014” guidewire across the treatment site.
2.
Load the IVL Catheter over the exchange length (300cm) 0.014” guidewire andthrough the sheath, and advance balloon to the treatment site.
3.
Position the balloon at the treatment site using the marker bands to aid in
positioning.
Treating the Site with Lithotripsy
1.
Once the IVL Catheter is in place, record position using fluoroscopy.
2.
If position is incorrect, adjust the IVL Catheter to the correct position.
3.
Inflate IVL Balloon, not exceeding 4.0 atm, to ensure there is full apposition to thevessel wall.
NOTE: Lithotripsy should not be delivered if the balloon is inflated to >4 atm as
there is no increase in sonic output, and higher pressure during treatment canincrease the risk that the balloon loses pressure.
4.
Deliver IVL treatment (up to 30 pulses) per the IVL System Sequence Chart bypressing the therapy button on the IVL Connector Cable.
5.
Inflate balloon to nominal pressure per Balloon Compliance Chart (above) andrecord lesion response on fluoroscopy.
6.
Deflate balloon and wait at least 10 seconds to re-establish blood flow.
NOTE: The IVL Generator is programmed to force a minimum pause time of 10
seconds following every 30 pulses delivered.
7.
Repeat steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 for additional treatment cycles until the lesion has been
sufficiently dilated or if the catheter is re-positioned.
8.
Additional treatments can be performed if deemed necessary. If multiple inflations
are required due to a lesion length greater than the IVL balloon length, therecommended balloon overlap is at least 1 cm to prevent geographic miss.
However, care must be taken not to exceed 180 pulses in the same segment.
9.
Perform a completion arteriogram to assess post-IVL treatment result.
10. Confirm that the balloon is fully deflated prior to removing the IVL Catheter.
11. Remove the IVL Catheter. If there is difficulty in removing the device through thehemostatic valve due to the lubricity, gently grasp the catheter with sterile gauze.
12. Inspect all components to ensure that the catheter is intact. If a device malfunction
occurs or any defects are noted on the inspection, flush the guide wire lumen andclean the outer surface of the catheter with saline, store the catheter in a sealed
plastic bag, and contact Shockwave Medical, Inc. for further instructions.
