c. Description of Device
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used as implants for isolation of
cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are made of injection
molded PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone). There are six different clip designs within this 510(k).
The clips consist of a single piece which has two regions, one gripped by the clip placement tool (the
shaft) and the second (the clipper) which acts to isolate the aneurysm from blood flow. The clippers act
as a pair of jaws, opening when pressure is applied by the clip placement tool and closing as the
pressure from the clip placement tool is released when the clip placement tool is withdrawn.
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip product includes multiple clipper shape designs: straight, bent, slightly
bent, curved, and slightly curved to allow for best access to the aneurysm(s) as they present. All
CLARITY Aneurysm Clips have a tapered jaw and use rounded teeth on the jaw for additional gripping
security.
Page 13 of 84
CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed for permanent implantation. They are MRI safe and
transparent to MRI and CAT scans.
d. Indications for Use
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is intended for use in permanent implantation for occlusion of cerebral
aneurysms.
e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use and
technology to the predicate device, Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202).
Both devices provide permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysm. Both devices use a shaft and jaw
design where the pressure of the clip application tool on the shaft results in jaws opening. Both devices
are designed such that as the clip application tool is removed, pressure on the shaft is relieved and the
jaws close, thus providing force to hold the aneurysm closed.
Both devices use a tapered jaw design. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip uses a rounded tooth jaw design
on the clipper jaws, where rounded teeth are present on the jaw for additional gripping security. The
predicate device does not employ rounded teeth on the jaw.
The devices use different materials. The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is manufactured of Elgiloy.
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is manufactured of Zeniva® PEEK
polyetheretherketone. The Company device may be more appropriate for those patients who will
require MRI or CAT imaging as part of post surgical medical care.
The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any
unresolved issues of safety or efficacy.
Both devices are single use only. Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is provided not sterile. Sunnyvale
Surgical Aneurysm Clip is provided steam sterilized.
Company concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.
f. Summary of Supporting Data
Biocompatibility data demonstrates that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993.
Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with ISO 9713:2009, ASTM F0252-
06e1, ASTM F2119-07, ASTM F2129-08, ASTM F2182-11a, ASTM F2213-06, and the expectations
of the medical community and the product labeling.
Animal testing demonstrated that the device can be permanently implanted with no significant effect on
behavior, EEG measurements, or seizure latency threshold.

Description of Device
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used for the permanent occlusion of
cerebral aneurysms. The clips are intended to be used in conjunction with the manual surgical tool, the
Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw clip placement tool.
When a clip is picked up with the LittleJaw tool, the pressure of the tool on the clip base causes the clip
jaws to open to their maximum width. After the clip is maneuvered into place, the LittleJaw tool is
removed, releasing the pressure on the clip base. The spring within the clip contracts, causing the clip
to close, occluding blood flow to the aneurysm.
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are formed from Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) with no
colorants added and are not coated with any surface coating. The clips come singly packed and sterile.
CLARITYAneurysm Clip
Intended Use
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of
cerebral aneurysms.
Comparison to Predicate Device
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use,
technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202).
The predicate device is made of Elgilory (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron included.) The CLARITY
Aneurysm Clip is manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) which is not present in
the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip but is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design
and materials to the reference device: RoG™ Sports Medicine Suture Anchor (K110229).
The predicate clip and the application clip are both intended for use in implantation for permanent
occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The reference device and the material in the application device are
both for implantation use and are both used as permanent implants.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 20 of 84
The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip and the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip both provide closing force to
occlude the arteries which provide normal blood flow to cerebral aneurysms. Both devices provide
closing force via a pair of blades or jaws which close onto the artery. Both devices are available in a
range of blade shapes and widths to allow for an appropriate fit to a wide variety of aneurysm forms
and presentations.
The predicate device is designed to be used with a device specific surgical tool, the Sugita Aneurysm
Clip Applier. Likewise, the application device is designed to be used with a device specific surgical
tool, the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw clip placement tool.
The predicate device functions by occluding blood flow to the aneurysm after clip placement. The
CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is identical in function, occluding blood flow to the aneurysm after clip
placement.
The predicate device is intended for permanent implantation. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is also
intended for permanent implantation.
Both the predicate and the application device are provided as single use only. The predicate device is
provided non sterile. The application device is provided sterile.
The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any
unresolved issues of safety or efficacy.

Section 11: Device Description
A. Description
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used as implants for isolation of
cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are made of injection
molded Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone). There are six different clip designs within this 510(k).
For details of clip design, see Table 1 below.

SUNNSURG-005 5 11-13 9.0-10.0 medium curved
SUNNSURG-006 6 20-40 17.0-23.0 straight
For each of these designs, the clip can be described as one single unit, the clip, which can be described
as two different regions: a region held by the tool (the shaft) and a region which clips onto the
aneurysm (the clipper). There are two identical shaft regions per clip, which are joined at the bottom by
a continuation of the shaft material (the join).
The shafts of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are identical for all clipper designs used. The shaft of a
CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is flat, straight, and made of the same material as the clipper. The clipper
region is on both sides of the clip and has three main descriptors: length of clip region, open width of
clip, and shape of clip. The clipper regions vary between the different designs in: length of clipper
region, maximum clipper open width, and clip shape.

CONFIDENTIAL Page 24 of 84
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are manufactured by injection molding of Zeniva® PEEK
(polyetheretherketone). No colorants are added and no additional surface finishes are applied to the
PEEK material after injection molding. Zeniva® PEEK has a long history of use in implants and is well
established as biocompatible. This material meets ASTM F2026-07 requirements as a
polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer for surgical implant applications.
The injection molding process results in a fully formed clip which contains two clipper and shaft pieces
joined via a PEEK spring. Closing force for the clip is provided through action of this PEEK spring.
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips use this spring design to provide the closing force required to occlude
blood flow to the aneurysm. The spring of the clip is compressed when pressure is applied to the clip
shaft by the surgeon's tool, the LittleJaw clip applier (see below). As the tool is released, the pressure
compressing the spring is relieved and the clip jaws will close. This spring force is sufficient to occlude
blood flow to the aneurysm.
During the design phase of the CLARITY clip, finite element analysis (FEA) was used to predict the
stresses and mechanical behavior of Zeniva® PEEK within the application. After FEA results were
found to be consistent with acceptable mechanical behavior of Zeniva® PEEK under application
conditions, clips were formed for bench testing to validate device performance.
Blade holding force is a key parameter in aneurysm clip specifications. The blade holding force for a
clip must be sufficient to occlude blood flow to the aneurysm. CLARITY Aneurysm Clips designs
include two sets of specifications for the clip blade holding force, those for Long clip designs and those
for Regular clip designs.
Long clip designs are those for which the blade length is between 21 and 40 mm. Long clip designs
have blade holding force specifications that fall within the range of 150-160 g, measured at a point one
third of the way in from the distal limit of the clip blade. Within the Long class, each individual clip
design is assigned a design specific blade holding force that falls within the Long range.
Regular clip designs are those for which the blade length is up to and including 20 mm. Regular clip
designs have blade holding force specifications that fall within the range of 135-145 g, measured at a
point one third of the way in from the distal limit of the clip blade. Within the Regular class, each
individual clip design is assigned a design specific blade holding force that falls within the Regular
range.
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are intended to be used in conjunction with the manual Sunnyvale
Surgical LittleJaw tool for placement.
(Note: The Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool is a Class II device subject according to 21 CFR
882.4175 and is not the subject of this submission. The LittleJaw tool is already cleared, refer to
K12345678 for further information.)
The clips come sterile and individually packaged. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is a sterile, single use,
non absorbable device.
The test data provided below demonstrates that the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips have the holding force
specified for their designs and that they can performs acceptably under the conditions for which they
are intended to be used.

CLARITYANEURYSM CLIP
B. Intended Use
The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of
cerebral aneurysms.
C. Substantial Equivalence
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use,
technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202).
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is made out of a material that is not present in the
Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip, PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone.) The material used in the
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in technology and materials
to another reference device: the RoGTM
Sports Medicine Suture Anchor (K110229).
The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both intended for use in
implantation for the permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms.
The reference device is a suture anchor. It is manufactured from PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone)
identical to the resin used in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The reference device is cleared for the
following indications: soft tissue reattachment procedures in the shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, foot/ankle
and knee. The reference device is inserted into bone and the allows the surgeon to secure a suture of
their selection to the top of the anchor. While the reference device and the submission device do
experience different loads and tensions in their use, the test data provided below demonstrates that the
CLARITYAneurysm Clip performs acceptably under the conditions for which it is intended to be used.
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip both isolate
cerebral aneurysms from normal circulation. Both the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip
and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip are placed across the base (or neck) of the aneurysm and
function to block the normal blood flow from entering the aneurysm.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 26 of 84
Both devices are used with clip applying tools: the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is
used with the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is used with
the Sugita Clip Applying Forceps.
Both devices are used during surgery. In surgeries using either the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY
Aneurysm Clip or the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip, the patient is placed under general anesthesia
and a craniotomy (opening of the skull) performed. After the aneurysm is located, the clip is moved
into position with the application tool. Both the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the
Sugita Surgical Aneurysm Clip are brought into place with the jaws of the clip held in an open position
by their application tool. As the clip is released from the tool, the jaws close, applying pressure to the
neck of the aneurysm and cutting off blood flow.
Both the predicate device and the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip use a jawed tooth
design to minimize clamp slippage after placement. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip
employs a “soft jaw” design, with a different number of teeth and a different tooth shape.
Both the predicate device and the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip are single use devices
The predicate device has the lot number engraved on each clip for tracking purposes. The Sunnyvale
Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip has production lot numbers laser etched onto each clip for tracking
purposes.
The predicate device is not provided sterile. It can be placed into a storage/sterilization tray for
sterilization at the hospital, in order to allow physicians to assemble the necessary collection of clip
lengths and shapes. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITYAneurysm Clip is provided sterile.
Both devices are intended for permanent implantation.
The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any
unresolved issues of safety or efficacy.
Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.

B. Textual Comparison to Predicate Device
Comparison to Predicate Device
The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use,
technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202).
Intended use
The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both intended for use in
implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms.
Technology (usage)
Both the predicate device and the application device are used during surgery for occlusion of
aneurysms.
Both devices are used with an application tool that applies force to the clip shaft, opening the jaws of
the clip.
Both devices are positioned at the neck of the aneurysm after which their positioning tool is released,
removing the pressure which held the clip open.
Both devices are for use with aneurysms with distinct necks.
Both devices are not suitable for use with aneurysms without distinct necks, where the ratio of
aneurysm bulge to neck circumference is < 3.
Both devices are suitable for use only for aneurysms with necks 4 mm or wider.
Technology (design)
The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both designed with two distinct
regions: a region that is gripped by the relevant clip applying tool (the shaft) and a region that is held
open and then allowed to close upon the aneurysm (the jaws).
Both devices provides closing force through a cross legged design built around a spring which is
compressed when the applying tool holds the shaft of the clamp.
Both devices use clip jaws with a pyramidal shape, tapering from the proximal to distal ends.
The predicate device uses a smooth clip jaw with no toothing in the design. The application device has
rounded teeth included in the pyramidal jaw surfaces.
Both the predicate and the application clip are provided in a range of shapes including straight, angled,
curved, and slight curved.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 32 of 84
Both devices are provided in two different clip length ranges, Long and Regular. Both devices have
clip closing force ranges for the Long and Regular clip designs.
Both devices further specify a design specific clip closing force specification for each clip design
within either the Long or Regular clip length range.
Technology (materials)
The predicate device is manufactured out of Elgilory (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron included.)
The application device is manufactured out of PEEK (Zeniva® polyetherketone) Zeniva® PEEK has a
long history of use in implants, such as the reference device RoG Sports Medicine Suture Anchor
(K110229). The technology and materials used to prepare the Zeniva® PEEK resin are identical for
both the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the reference device RoG Sports Medicine Suture Anchor, refer
to attached manufacturer's Master File.
The reference device material and the material in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip are both for permanent
implantation and are biocompatible per ISO 10993.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) demonstrated that Zeniva® PEEK could perform acceptably under
application conditions, yielding sufficient clip closing force for the intended use. Bench testing and
animal studies were consistent with this.
Technology (packaging and sterilization)
Both devices are packaged individually. Both devices are packaged with a tear off label for attaching to
patient charts.
The predicate device is provided non-sterile. The application device is provided sterile, steam
sterilization is used.
Conclusion
The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any
unresolved issues of safety or efficacy.
Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.

YES.
The intended uses are identical, as evidenced by the similarity of the indications for use. There
are no differences in the indications for use.
Do the devices have the same technological characteristics?
NO.
Both of these devices are designed to occlude cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow by
clamping off the neck of the aneurysm. Both devices are designed with jaws that are held in the open
configuration when the device is held within the device application tool. Both devices are designed
such that the jaws close when the application tool is released, applying sufficient force to close off the
blood vessel supplying the aneurysm.
They differ in that the predicate is machined out of Elgiloy (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron
included) and the application device is injection molded out of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone).
The predicate is electropolished for optimal surface smoothness (to decrease potential corrosion and to
lower the risk of serving as a scaffold for biofilm formation).
The predicate device has a surface coating for identification as a permanent aneurysm clamp. It
is coated with a blue coloring. The application device is not coated with any surface coating. The
application device is manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK with no colorants added.
Do the devices raise different questions of safety or effectiveness?
NO.
The devices have the same intended use. The devices are intended for the same patient cohort.
The differences in technology do not raise different questions of safety and efficacy because the test
data provided below demonstrates that the essential performance characteristics of the devices are
identical.
Are the testing methods acceptable?
YES.
Accepted standards are used and accepted testing methodologies are employed (refer to list in
CONFIDENTIAL Page 34 of 84
Section 9: Declarations of Conformity and Summary Reports). See sections 18 through 20 for
supporting evidence.

instructions below are common to all CLARITY ANEURYSM CLIP part numbers listed above.
Refer to each clip package label for expiration date.
 Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) by injection molding. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are for use by
surgeons in surgery to treat aneurysms.
Indications for Use:
 The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips are intended for use in implantation for permanent
occlusion of cerebral aneurysms.
 Contraindications: None
DANGER
The application of aneurysm clips involves the following severe risks:
Shifting or breakage of the aneurysm clip
Yawing of the jaw parts
Rupture of the aneurysm due to puncture
Incomplete contact of the clip jaws on the aneurysm neck
Cerebrovascular spasm
Sudden death.
For large aneurysms - reduction of the blood vessel cross-section close to the edge of the blood
vessel with consequential impeded circulation in the region affected.
In addition, as in any surgery, infections of the operation wound and general surgical complications
are also possible risks.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 38 of 84
DANGER
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY aneurysm clips are manufactured from Zeniva® PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) and are not ferromagnetic. They are safe for MRI and CAT scans. However,
patients who have previously been clipped with other aneurysm clips may be at risk for interactions
between the clip and the magnetic field of the scanner.
Sunnyvale Surgical recommends that all patients with a history of aneurysm in need of MRI or
CAT scan undergo an X-ray to determine the number of clips and or/coils present. If aneurysm clips
or coils are present, the patient's medical records should be examined to determine if the identity
(and MRI/CAT scan compatibility can be confirmed. If the identity and MRI/CAT scan
compatibility can not be confirmed for every clip and coil present, the hospital should perform a
risk/benefit review and assessment and obtain patient consent prior to any further actions.
DANGER
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed for single use only. If clips exceed
their expiration date but are not otherwise compromised, they must be considered no longer sterile
and must be sterilized prior to use. Use a validated sterilization protocol for clip sterilization.
Reuse, reprocessing or re-sterilization may create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause
patient infection or cross-infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious
disease(s) from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness or
death of the patient. Any aneurysm clip that has come in contact with a patient's blood or bodily
fluid should not, under any circumstances, be cleaned, re-sterilized or in any other way prepared for
use in another patient. Any aneurysm clip that has come into contact with any patient’s blood or
bodily fluids and which is not implanted should be disposed of in accord with local regulations.
CAUTION
To exclude damage, inaccurate functioning or incorrect clip closing force always apply each
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip with the LittleJaw tool. If clip removal or
repositioning is required, remove each Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip with the
appropriate forceps, the BackOut forceps.
Never use the aneurysm clips with appliers or removal forceps from other manufacturers.
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are manufactured from PEEK and must be used
with the Sunnyvale Surgical tools. The LittleJaw tool has a specially lined clip holding area to
protect the clip from scratching or other damage.
For further information on suitable appliers and removal forceps, please contact Sunnyvale Surgical.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 39 of 84
Instructions for use:
Inspection -
 Upon receipt, inspect each aneurysm clip package. Carefully inspect the package prior to use
for any breach of the sterile barrier or damage to the contents. If the sterile barrier integrity is
compromised (open, torn, perforated or otherwise damaged), DO NOT USE and contact your
Sunnyvale Surgical representative
NOTE - Each permanent aneurysm clips package contains additional labels showing the Sunnyvale
Surgical part number and the production lot number of the clip. To facilitate the subsequent
radiological examination, the patient’s file (for the hospital) and the patient ID (see below) should
be marked with these labels.
Storage -
 Store Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips in their sterile packaging in a dry and dust
free area protected from chemical fumes and extreme air or temperature fluctuations.
Pre use inspection –
 If the sterility of the aneurysm clip has “expired” (use-by date)”, the aneurysm clip must be
regarded as unsterile. It must be sterilized according to the instructions given in the sections on
cleaning and sterilizing.
 Open the clip packaging inside a sterile field and examine the clip prior to use. Sunnyvale
Surgical CLARITY permanent aneurysm clips are clear in color and etched with their
production lot code. Check that the clip lot number on the package and clip lot number etched
onto the clip are identical. If the lot numbers do not match, DO NOT USE. Contact your
Sunnyvale Surgical representative.
 Inspect the clip. Any clip found with one or more of the following characteristics should not be
used:
Signs of damage
Incorrect jaw position
Bent components
Changed closing force
Misalignment
 Prior to each use, inspect the LittleJaw tool and BackOut forceps for damage. If the LittleJaw
tool or BackOut forceps appears to be loose, bent, broken, cracked, worn, or fractured DO NOT
USE. Set them aside and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 40 of 84
Clip placement tools -
 The Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool and Sunnyvale Surgical BackOut forceps must be used
for applying and removing the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips.
 The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip must never be used with appliers or removal
forceps from any other manufacturers. The LittleJaw tool and BackOut forceps have a specially
lined clip holding area to protect the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips from
scratching or other damage.
Procedure prior to clip placement -
 Examine the region for each aneurysm to be clipped to determine whether there are other clips
in place already and how these will affect positioning of the clips to be placed.
 Examine the aneurysm itself and confirm that the neck to aneurysm ratio is within a factor of
three or greater. If the aneurysm has a neck to sack ratio of less than three, DO NOT USE the
Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm
Clips are not for use with aneurysms with neck to sack ratios of less than three.
 Access the aneurysm and obtain vascular control upstream of the desired clip position. After
confirmation of vascular control, determine of the appropriate clip shape for use.
Picking up clips –
CAUTION
Never open an aneurysm clip with your fingers. Avoid manual and/or mechanical manipulation of
the aneurysm clip. Excessive, rough or repeated handling, especially opening and closing can
change closing force and impair clinical effectiveness.
 Pick up the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip using the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool. The clip
jaws will open as pressure is applied to the clip base through the LittleJaw tool. Use a steady
and smooth manual pressure to grasp the clip base.
 When picking up the aneurysm clips, carefully pick up the whole aneurysm clip with the jaw
piece of the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 41 of 84
CAUTION
If an aneurysm clip appears changed or shows signs of damage, e.g. incorrect jaw position, bent
parts or changed closing force, DO NOT USE and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative.
After picking up the aneurysm clip with the LittleJaw tool, observe the opening of the clip jaws. If
the clip jaws do not open to the full width, DO NOT USE and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical
representative.
 These directions for use must also be observed when using the removal forceps.
Clip placement -
 Maneuver the LittleJaw tool into position near the neck of the aneurysm and close to the blood
vessel. Align the blades of the clip with the aneurysm. Slowly and smoothly release the grip of
the LittleJaw tool, allowing the clip to close. Observe the aneurysm during release of the grip of
the LittleJaw tool. Do not remove the LittleJaw tool until the clip is seated.
 Observe the position of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip on the aneurysm. Make certain that the
clip sits on the aneurysm neck and close to the blood vessel. If there is any concern about the
clip position, use the BackOut forceps to remove and replace the clip. Sunnyvale Surgical does
not recommend more than two placement attempts per clip.
 If additional clips are needed to control an aneurysm, additional clips may be placed at this
time. If aneurysms are found which are not candidates for clipping, this must be noted and a
further treatment plan developed.
 Observe all clipped aneurysms for conclusive evidence of complete vascular control prior to
closing.
NOTE - if placement of the clip fails, but the LittleJaw tool is in good order and used correctly,
this may mean that the clip length or shape chosen are incorrect and that a different clip will be
successfully place.
CAUTION
To preclude the possibility of a galvanic reaction, avoid implanting permanent aneurysm clips made
of different materials and/or by different manufacturers in such a way that they touch each other.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 42 of 84
Additional steps – label and Patient ID -
 Each permanent aneurysm clips package contains additional labels showing the Sunnyvale
Surgical part number and the production lot number of the clip. To facilitate the subsequent
radiological examination, the patient’s file (for the hospital) and the patient ID (see below)
should be marked with these labels. One label should be placed on the patient's file and the
patient ID for each clip implanted.
 The Patient ID contains important information concerning the aneurysm clip implanted and the
operation can be noted down on the patient ID. The contents of the Patient ID are:
– Patient data
– Hospital data
– Date of operation
– Name of surgeon
– Article number and individual serial number of the aneurysm clip implanted
 To facilitate postoperative radiological examination, each patient should receive a patient ID.
Additional steps – after use
 After use, dispose of product and packaging in accordance with hospital, administrative and/or
local government policy. Do not attempt to use this product before thoroughly reading the
Manual and Directions for Use. For future reference, keep these documents in a convenient,
easily accessible place.

CONFIDENTIAL Page 43 of 84
Cleaning and Disinfection:
WARNING
Permanent aneurysm clips that have been implanted before or been in contact with blood, tissue, or
body fluids must be set aside for disposal. They must not be sterilized or reused.
 Each aneurysm clip in its unopened original packaging has been packed and sterilized
individually and is supplied as a sterile product.
 Aneurysm clips must be regarded as unsterile if the sterile packaging is open, torn, perforated or
damaged, or if the sterility of the product has “expired” because the date of use is later than the
use-by date. If desired, sterilization can be carried out on aneurysm clips.
 Sterilization has to be carried out through a validated sterilization process. e.g. in a sterilizer
conforming to standards EN 285/ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11134-1993, ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993 and
validated according to EN 554/ISO 13683. Using a non-validated sterilization process may
result in the aneurysm clip being unsterile
 Sterilization of the device may be accomplished by steam under generally accepted hospital in-
use conditions.. Sunnyvale Surgical does not recommend the device be sterilized by "Flash" or
chemical sterilization.
 Recommended sterilization parameters are as follows:
Sterilization method – pre vacuum
Temperature – 270-275 F
Minimum exposure time (wrapped) – 5 min
Minimum exposure time (in a sterile container system) – 5 min

Telephone: 408-848-4035
Establishment Registration Number: 3004784675
b. Description of the method to be used to validate the sterilization cycle:
Validation of the sterilization cycle will be conducted in accordance with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137-
1+2+3:2006, Sterilization of health care products – Radiation, and AAMI TIR33:2005 for setting
irradiation dose used.
The Vdmax method will be used for validation of the sterilization cycle. Thirty clips (ten clips each
from three prototype production lots) will be used in an initial bioburden determination to measure the
average bioburden found in the CLARITY clips. Although the clips are smooth surfaced and do not
possess any lumens or cavities in their design, both wiping and rinsing methods will be used in
conjunction to measure bioburden.
Based on the average bioburden determined, the initial verification dose will be set according to the
CONFIDENTIAL Page 46 of 84
guidelines in AAMI TIR33:2005. Ten clips from one lot will be irradiated at the initial verification dose
and then checked for any remaining bioburden after irradiation.
Following the initial verification of the irradiation dosage, periodic dose audits will be performed
according to the guidelines in the New Products section of the Sunnyvale Surgical Master Validation
Protocol. After four passed audits and at least one year, dose audits will be shifted to the schedule for
Production Products in the Sunnyvale Surgical Master Validation Protocol.
c. A description of the packaging to maintain the device’s sterility:
Packaging and sterilization of the device meets the conditions set forth by the FDA consensus standards
for sterile devices: AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11607-1 and 2:2006, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical
devices. Packaging is designed to be compatible with the sterilization method to retain sterile integrity
of the product and avoid damage to the devices until opened.
Additionally, the entire shipping configuration will be tested to be in accordance with ASTM D4169,
Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems and ASTM F88-99, Standard Test Method for
Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials. Testing data is not required per guidance described above.
The devices are packaged in the following materials: Tyvek/Mylar pouch around tray containing
device.
d. If sterilization involves EO, the maximum levels of residuals of EO and ethylene chlorhydrin
that remain on the device:
The device is not sterilized with EO.
e. Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) required:
The SAL for the device will be 10-6
or better. The probability of an organism surviving a given cycle
will not be more than one out of one million.
f. Whether the product is non-pyrogenic and the method used to make that determination:
The product will not be labeled as “Nonpyrogenic.” However, Sunnyvale Surgical has demonstrated
that the surfaces of the clamp which make contact with the brain are nonpyrogenic. See Section 15.
g. Radiation Sterilization Dose:
>25kGy. Exact amount used will be set afterthe average bioburden is measured and sterilization dose
is then set according to the Vdmax method as detailed in AAMI TIR33:2005.
h. Sterilization by User:
The device is single use only. If the user needs to sterilize the device, Sunnyvale Surgical suggests use
of a validated steam sterilization protocol.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 47 of 84
i. Expiration Date:
The expiration date for the device will be 1 years after the manufactured date based upon the product
having passed a 1 year (accelerated) shelf life study. This study will involve test sample clips from
three lots that have been sterilized with the validated irradiation dose. The study will be performed
according to the guidelines in the FDA Guidance for Industry, Shelf Life of Medical Devices (dated
April 1991).
Packaged, terminally sterilized clips will be stored under typical distribution center conditions
(humidity, air flow, and exposure to light). For acceleration, clips will be stored at 40 C, 15 degrees
above the storage temperature specified on the labeling.
At 15 degrees above room temperature, aging due to temperature related processes happens at a rate
2.41 fold greater than at room temperature. Clips will be stored at 40 C for 5 months, equivalent to an
accelerated 12 month aging. The clips within packaging will be tested for the integrity of the package
and package seal. Copies of the Storage of Shelf Life Samples and Accelerated Aging Parameters are
available upon request.
Testing of clips will include pull tests for the pouch itself and for the seal region in specific. In addition
to testing clips off the shelf, clips from storage will be placed under simulated shipping and handling
stress to determine whether shipping and handling can compromise the seal or the package itself.
Copies of the Testing Protocol and the Simulated Shipping and Handling Stresses Protocol are
available on request. The company will support the accelerated life test data with a standard life test,
and anticipates that it will validate 1 year of shelf life prior to commercialization.

The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is used intracranially and is in no way load bearing. Under use, the clip
will not experience load or torque, and after placement is not at risk of snapping or breaking due to
loads or torques.
Review of the medical literature demonstrates that this material has been used in medical devices in a
similar patient contact manner for many years. Examples of such devices include the RoGTM
Sports
Medicine Suture Anchor. As a result, it can be concluded that the medical community is satisfied that the
benefits of these materials outweigh the risks of patient interactions. No additional warnings are necessary
to mitigate any interaction risks.
The materials in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip passed all tests recommended by the international standards,
and their interaction risks, as presented in other devices and/or described in the medical literature, can be
mitigated to a point that is acceptable to the medical community.
It can be concluded that the materials in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip do not pose a risk of negative

TM-002: CLARITY Aneurysm Clip Simulated Use Testing
Purpose:
This test method assesses the performance characteristics of the clips after placement in a simulated use
environment.
Scope:
This testing covers the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The worst case design of the clips, clip design
number 5 was tested. Clip design number 5 incorporates an 11 mm clip jaw length, a 9.5 mm maximum
open clip width, and a slightly curved jaw design.
Modeling and simulation showed that of all clip designs included, clip design 5 had the greatest
calculated probability of slippage (by ten fold compared to the design with the next highest slippage
probability.) Clip design number 5 was also calculated to have the greatest potential variation in clip
closing force (by a factor of six fold compared to the design with the next highest calculated potential
variation in clip closing force.)

CONFIDENTIAL Page 62 of 84
Sample Size:
 39 clips (13 each from three production lots) are to be used for each clip design.
 9 clips are for microscopic examination by test laboratory after simulated use protocol is
performed.
 30 clips are for functional testing by test laboratory after simulated use protocol is performed.
Test Method:
1. Each clip shall be sterilized as per the sterilization procedure before test begins. All clips should
be sterilized in the same load to minimize variation.
2. Check clip alignment with clip alignment tester, Fixture FX-005. Record results as “pass” or
“fail” on data sheet A.(Data sheet A is in the complete test report.)
3. Measure the nominal closing force for each clip using the method and piezoelectric force crystal
measurement system described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the nominal clip
closing force for each clip in column 1 of data sheet B.
4. Measure the closing force for each clip a total of three more times, using the method and
apparatus described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the clip closing forces in columns 2
through 4 of data sheet B.
5. For each clip under test, calculate the average of the three closing force measurements and
record in data sheet A. For each clip under test, calculate the percent difference between each of
the three clip closing measurements and the nominal closing force measured. Record percent
differences in data sheet A.
6. Prepare clips for simulated use – Fill test vessels with bicarbonate buffered saline and bring to
37 degrees. For each clip tested, take a 5 cm piece of Arteriortube tubing and fit a Blood Vessel
stopper fitting into one end of the tubing. Fill the clip with 666 microliters of bicarbonate
buffered saline with 0.001% colorant added.
7. Prepare clips for simulated use – Using the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool, apply one
aneurysm clip onto each prepared piece of tubing. Take care to place each clip so that the jaws
close in the region between the two pink Clip Placement Lines on the Arteriotube tubing. After
clip is applied, wash the tubing thoroughly to remove any possible leaked or spilled saline with
colorant. Fill beyond the clipped portion of the Arteriotube tubing with bicarbonate buffered
saline. Allow some saline to spill out of the tubing to ensure no bubbles remain in tubing.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 63 of 84
8. Apply a Blood Vessel Manifold fitting to the end of each piece of Arteriortube tubing. Connect
the Blood Vessel Manifold fittings to the manifold attachment on the SuckerBlo high resolution
alternating peristaltic pump. Make sure that the CranerCo in line pressure monitor is in place
between the mainfold and the SuckerBlo high resolution peristaltic pump. Check that the
feedback sensors from the CranerCo in line pressure monitor are connected to the SuckerBlo
inputs.
9. Set the SuckerBlo alternating peristaltic pump to a push-pull cycle of 60 cycles per minute with
pressure feedback of 300 mm Hg. Program the SuckerBlo for 31.56 million cycles. Cycling will
last one year.
10. During cycling, carefully check the test vessels for sufficient buffered saline and lack of
microbial growth or contamination. Cycling vessels should be checked at least once every day.
Any vessels which lose clips should be removed from test and the clips analyzed.
11. Leakage test: When cycling ends, remove each piece of Arteriotube tubing (with clip and
fittings) from the test vessel. Place the tube with clip and fittings into blacklight chamber and
excite at mid wavelength. Carefully rotate each clip under blacklight, looking for any evidence
of fluorescence around the clip application area or elsewhere. Photograph the region around the
clip application area from all sides and place photographs in the test data file. Note findings on
data sheet A. If any tubing shows fluorescence, it has leaked and the clip must be marked as
failed.
12. Blade alignment test: Check clip alignment with clip alignment tester, Fixture FX-005. Record
results as “pass” or “fail” on data sheet A.
13. Slipping test: Observe each clip on the tubing. Is the clip still seated between the pink lines
where it was originally placed? If yes, mark YES in data sheet A. If clip has slipped, note the
direction of the slip (toward the stopper fitting or away from it) and the degree of slip in mm.
14. Clamp closing force test: Measure the nominal closing force for each clip using the method and
apparatus described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the nominal clip closing force for
each clip in column 5 of data sheet B.
15. Clamp closing force calculation: Record the percent change in clamp closing force after
simulated use as measured against the nominal clamp closing force before simulated use.
Record the percent change in column 6 of data sheet B.
16. Clamp closing force evaluation: If the percent change in clamp closing force is less than 2%,
mark a PASS in column 15. If the percent change is greater than 2%, mark FAIL in column 7 of
data sheet B.
17. Corrosion susceptibility test: Corrosion susceptibility of each clip will be tested by
ReferenceLabs Inc. Carefully package each clip for shipping to ReferenceLabs Inc. The reports
for each clip tested at ReferenceLabs Inc. should be attached to the final Test Report. For each
clip which passes corrosion susceptibility testing, mark a PASS in data sheet A. For each clip
which fails, mark a FAIL in data sheet A.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 64 of 84
18. MRI interaction test and Image Artifact test: Carefully package the clips for shipping to
Magnetolabs. Magnetolabs will test the clips for potential interaction in MRI magnetic fields as
documented in the MRI Interaction Test Protocol. Magnetolabs will test clips for potential
image artifact formation in MRI scans of test mystery material as documented in the Image
Artifact Test Protocol.
The MRI Interaction Test Report and the Image Artifact Test Report should be attached to the
final Test Report. For each clip which passes MRI interaction, mark a PASS in data sheet A. For
any clip which fails, mark a FAIL in data sheet A. For each clip which passes the Image Artifact
test, mark a PASS in data sheet A. For any clip which fails, mark a FAIL in data sheet A.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 65 of 84
Acceptance Criteria:
1. Nominal closing force of all clips is within 2% of the value given for their clip design. For
nominal closing forces for each clip design, refer to Appendix.
2. For each clip, the average of three clip measurements will be within 2% of the nominal clip
closing force. No individual clip closing force measurement will vary from the nominal clip
closing force by more than 3%.

Section 19: Performance Testing - Animal
Animal testing was performed to collect data on the suitability of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip for
permanent implantation. The testing was performed per Protocol Animal-001. A summary of the
protocol and results follow.
In conclusion, the animal testing showed that the CLARITYAneurysm Clip is suitable for permanent
implantation. There were no significant changes in behavior in implanted animals monitored. EEG
evaluations showed no significant differences between animals implanted with the CLARITY
Aneurysm Clip and those implanted with the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip.
Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc
Animal Study—001
Purpose:
The objective of the animal study is to collect data on the suitability of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip
for permanent implantation in the brain.
Study Endpoint / Pre-defined Acceptance Criteria:
Behavior of rabbits implanted was monitored on a daily basis for nine months, three months pre
implantation and six months post implantation. No significant differences in four behaviors scored
should be seen between rabbits implanted with the CLARITY clip and rabbits implanted with the
Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip.
Secondary endpoints of the study were to observe EEG evaluations from rabbits implanted with the
CLARITY clip and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip and to measure seizure threshold in implanted
rabbits. Rabbits implanted with CLARITY Aneurysm Clip shall not show gross differences in EEG
evaluations when compared to rabbits implanted with Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips. No significant
difference in seizure thresholds should be seen.
Methods and Materials:
1. Sunnyvale Surgical commissioned a six month intracranial, non-clinical implant study of 30
rabbits, divided into three groups:
 12 rabbits were implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip
 12 rabbits were implanted with the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip
 6 were non implanted controls.
2. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits were monitored daily for three months. The
following four behaviors were monitored and scored: appetite, sleep, aggression, and curiosity.
3. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits underwent one EEG at the onset of the
study and one additional EEG two days before implantation.
4. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits underwent testing for seizure threshold
latency at the onset of the study and once more two days before implantation.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 70 of 84
5. After three months observation, rabbits were implanted with either the Sunnyvale Surgical
CLARITY Aneurysm Clip, the Sugita Titanium clip, or underwent a sham procedure (no clip
implanted control).
6. Behavior of rabbits was monitored on a daily basis for six months. The following four behaviors
were monitored and scored: appetite, sleep, aggression, and curiosity.
7. Once each month, rabbits underwent an EEG. EEG results from each month were overlaid on the
baseline EEGs. EEGs from each month were overlaid on EEGs from all post implantation months
to analyze for negative trends.
8. Once each month, rabbits were tested to determine seizure threshold latency.
9. Study was concluded six months post implantation.
Results:
Both the rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the rabbits
implanted with the Sugita Titanium clip showed no statistically significant changes in any of the four
behaviors monitored at any time period post implantation compared to the rabbits treated with the sham
procedure.
Both the rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the rabbits
implanted with the Sugita Titanium clip showed no statistically significant changes in seizure threshold
latency at any time period post implantation when compared to rabbits treated with the sham procedure.
Both rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and implanted with the
Sugita Titanium clip showed no significant differences in EEGs as compared to rabbits treated with the
sham procedure at any time period post implantation.
Conclusion:
The animal testing showed that the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is suitable for permanent implantation in
the brain.

Date Summary Prepared March 28, 2013 c. Description of Device Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used as implants for isolation of cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are made of injection molded PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone). There are six different clip designs within this 510(k). The clips consist of a single piece which has two regions, one gripped by the clip placement tool (the shaft) and the second (the clipper) which acts to isolate the aneurysm from blood flow. The clippers act as a pair of jaws, opening when pressure is applied by the clip placement tool and closing as the pressure from the clip placement tool is released when the clip placement tool is withdrawn. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip product includes multiple clipper shape designs: straight, bent, slightly bent, curved, and slightly curved to allow for best access to the aneurysm(s) as they present. All CLARITY Aneurysm Clips have a tapered jaw and use rounded teeth on the jaw for additional gripping security.
  • 13. Page 13 of 84 CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed for permanent implantation. They are MRI safe and transparent to MRI and CAT scans. d. Indications for Use The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is intended for use in permanent implantation for occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. e. Comparison to Predicate Device The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use and technology to the predicate device, Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202). Both devices provide permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysm. Both devices use a shaft and jaw design where the pressure of the clip application tool on the shaft results in jaws opening. Both devices are designed such that as the clip application tool is removed, pressure on the shaft is relieved and the jaws close, thus providing force to hold the aneurysm closed. Both devices use a tapered jaw design. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip uses a rounded tooth jaw design on the clipper jaws, where rounded teeth are present on the jaw for additional gripping security. The predicate device does not employ rounded teeth on the jaw. The devices use different materials. The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is manufactured of Elgiloy. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is manufactured of Zeniva® PEEK polyetheretherketone. The Company device may be more appropriate for those patients who will require MRI or CAT imaging as part of post surgical medical care. The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any unresolved issues of safety or efficacy. Both devices are single use only. Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is provided not sterile. Sunnyvale Surgical Aneurysm Clip is provided steam sterilized. Company concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent. f. Summary of Supporting Data Biocompatibility data demonstrates that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993. Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with ISO 9713:2009, ASTM F0252- 06e1, ASTM F2119-07, ASTM F2129-08, ASTM F2182-11a, ASTM F2213-06, and the expectations of the medical community and the product labeling. Animal testing demonstrated that the device can be permanently implanted with no significant effect on behavior, EEG measurements, or seizure latency threshold.

  • 19. CONFIDENTIAL Page 19 of 84 Description of Device Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used for the permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The clips are intended to be used in conjunction with the manual surgical tool, the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw clip placement tool. When a clip is picked up with the LittleJaw tool, the pressure of the tool on the clip base causes the clip jaws to open to their maximum width. After the clip is maneuvered into place, the LittleJaw tool is removed, releasing the pressure on the clip base. The spring within the clip contracts, causing the clip to close, occluding blood flow to the aneurysm. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are formed from Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) with no colorants added and are not coated with any surface coating. The clips come singly packed and sterile. CLARITYAneurysm Clip Intended Use The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. Comparison to Predicate Device The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202). The predicate device is made of Elgilory (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron included.) The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) which is not present in the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip but is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design and materials to the reference device: RoG™ Sports Medicine Suture Anchor (K110229). The predicate clip and the application clip are both intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The reference device and the material in the application device are both for implantation use and are both used as permanent implants.
  • 20. CONFIDENTIAL Page 20 of 84 The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip and the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip both provide closing force to occlude the arteries which provide normal blood flow to cerebral aneurysms. Both devices provide closing force via a pair of blades or jaws which close onto the artery. Both devices are available in a range of blade shapes and widths to allow for an appropriate fit to a wide variety of aneurysm forms and presentations. The predicate device is designed to be used with a device specific surgical tool, the Sugita Aneurysm Clip Applier. Likewise, the application device is designed to be used with a device specific surgical tool, the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw clip placement tool. The predicate device functions by occluding blood flow to the aneurysm after clip placement. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is identical in function, occluding blood flow to the aneurysm after clip placement. The predicate device is intended for permanent implantation. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is also intended for permanent implantation. Both the predicate and the application device are provided as single use only. The predicate device is provided non sterile. The application device is provided sterile. The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any unresolved issues of safety or efficacy. Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent. Summary of Supporting Data Biocompatibility data demonstrates that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993. Electrical safety testing demonstrates that the device is in compliance with EN 60601. Bench testing including a simulated use protocol has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with the medical community’s expectations, the product labeling, and the following standards and guidelines: ISO 9713, ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F218, ASTM F2119. Animal testing using permanent intracranial implantation of the CLARITY Clip demonstrated that the CLARITYAneurysm Clip is suitable for permanent intracranial implantation.

Description Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed to be used as implants for isolation of cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are made of injection molded Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone). There are six different clip designs within this 510(k). For details of clip design, see Table 1 below. Table 1: CLARITYAneurysm Clip part numbers and design features Sunnyvale Surgical part number Design Number Length of Clip (mm) Open Clip Width (mm) Clip Shape SUNNSURG-001 1 7-10 8.0-9.0 straight SUNNSURG-002 2 8-10 8.0-9.0 bent SUNNSURG-003 3 10-12 8.0-10.0 slightly bent SUNNSURG-004 4 11-13 9.0-10.0 curved SUNNSURG-005 5 11-13 9.0-10.0 medium curved SUNNSURG-006 6 20-40 17.0-23.0 straight For each of these designs, the clip can be described as one single unit, the clip, which can be described as two different regions: a region held by the tool (the shaft) and a region which clips onto the aneurysm (the clipper). There are two identical shaft regions per clip, which are joined at the bottom by a continuation of the shaft material (the join). The shafts of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are identical for all clipper designs used. The shaft of a CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is flat, straight, and made of the same material as the clipper. The clipper region is on both sides of the clip and has three main descriptors: length of clip region, open width of clip, and shape of clip. The clipper regions vary between the different designs in: length of clipper region, maximum clipper open width, and clip shape.

  • 24. CONFIDENTIAL Page 24 of 84 The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are manufactured by injection molding of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone). No colorants are added and no additional surface finishes are applied to the PEEK material after injection molding. Zeniva® PEEK has a long history of use in implants and is well established as biocompatible. This material meets ASTM F2026-07 requirements as a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer for surgical implant applications. The injection molding process results in a fully formed clip which contains two clipper and shaft pieces joined via a PEEK spring. Closing force for the clip is provided through action of this PEEK spring. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips use this spring design to provide the closing force required to occlude blood flow to the aneurysm. The spring of the clip is compressed when pressure is applied to the clip shaft by the surgeon's tool, the LittleJaw clip applier (see below). As the tool is released, the pressure compressing the spring is relieved and the clip jaws will close. This spring force is sufficient to occlude blood flow to the aneurysm. During the design phase of the CLARITY clip, finite element analysis (FEA) was used to predict the stresses and mechanical behavior of Zeniva® PEEK within the application. After FEA results were found to be consistent with acceptable mechanical behavior of Zeniva® PEEK under application conditions, clips were formed for bench testing to validate device performance. Blade holding force is a key parameter in aneurysm clip specifications. The blade holding force for a clip must be sufficient to occlude blood flow to the aneurysm. CLARITY Aneurysm Clips designs include two sets of specifications for the clip blade holding force, those for Long clip designs and those for Regular clip designs. Long clip designs are those for which the blade length is between 21 and 40 mm. Long clip designs have blade holding force specifications that fall within the range of 150-160 g, measured at a point one third of the way in from the distal limit of the clip blade. Within the Long class, each individual clip design is assigned a design specific blade holding force that falls within the Long range. Regular clip designs are those for which the blade length is up to and including 20 mm. Regular clip designs have blade holding force specifications that fall within the range of 135-145 g, measured at a point one third of the way in from the distal limit of the clip blade. Within the Regular class, each individual clip design is assigned a design specific blade holding force that falls within the Regular range. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are intended to be used in conjunction with the manual Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool for placement. (Note: The Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool is a Class II device subject according to 21 CFR 882.4175 and is not the subject of this submission. The LittleJaw tool is already cleared, refer to K12345678 for further information.) The clips come sterile and individually packaged. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is a sterile, single use, non absorbable device. The test data provided below demonstrates that the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips have the holding force specified for their designs and that they can performs acceptably under the conditions for which they are intended to be used.

Substantial Equivalence The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202). The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is made out of a material that is not present in the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip, PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone.) The material used in the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in technology and materials to another reference device: the RoGTM Sports Medicine Suture Anchor (K110229). The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both intended for use in implantation for the permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. The reference device is a suture anchor. It is manufactured from PEEK (Zeniva® polyetheretherketone) identical to the resin used in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The reference device is cleared for the following indications: soft tissue reattachment procedures in the shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, foot/ankle and knee. The reference device is inserted into bone and the allows the surgeon to secure a suture of their selection to the top of the anchor. While the reference device and the submission device do experience different loads and tensions in their use, the test data provided below demonstrates that the CLARITYAneurysm Clip performs acceptably under the conditions for which it is intended to be used. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip both isolate cerebral aneurysms from normal circulation. Both the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip are placed across the base (or neck) of the aneurysm and function to block the normal blood flow from entering the aneurysm.
  • 26. CONFIDENTIAL Page 26 of 84 Both devices are used with clip applying tools: the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is used with the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip is used with the Sugita Clip Applying Forceps. Both devices are used during surgery. In surgeries using either the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip or the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip, the patient is placed under general anesthesia and a craniotomy (opening of the skull) performed. After the aneurysm is located, the clip is moved into position with the application tool. Both the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the Sugita Surgical Aneurysm Clip are brought into place with the jaws of the clip held in an open position by their application tool. As the clip is released from the tool, the jaws close, applying pressure to the neck of the aneurysm and cutting off blood flow. Both the predicate device and the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip use a jawed tooth design to minimize clamp slippage after placement. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip employs a “soft jaw” design, with a different number of teeth and a different tooth shape. Both the predicate device and the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip are single use devices The predicate device has the lot number engraved on each clip for tracking purposes. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip has production lot numbers laser etched onto each clip for tracking purposes. The predicate device is not provided sterile. It can be placed into a storage/sterilization tray for sterilization at the hospital, in order to allow physicians to assemble the necessary collection of clip lengths and shapes. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITYAneurysm Clip is provided sterile. Both devices are intended for permanent implantation. The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any unresolved issues of safety or efficacy. Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.

Textual Comparison to Predicate Device Comparison to Predicate Device The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design and materials to the predicate device: Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K990202). Intended use The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. Technology (usage) Both the predicate device and the application device are used during surgery for occlusion of aneurysms. Both devices are used with an application tool that applies force to the clip shaft, opening the jaws of the clip. Both devices are positioned at the neck of the aneurysm after which their positioning tool is released, removing the pressure which held the clip open. Both devices are for use with aneurysms with distinct necks. Both devices are not suitable for use with aneurysms without distinct necks, where the ratio of aneurysm bulge to neck circumference is < 3. Both devices are suitable for use only for aneurysms with necks 4 mm or wider. Technology (design) The predicate aneurysm clip and the application aneurysm clip are both designed with two distinct regions: a region that is gripped by the relevant clip applying tool (the shaft) and a region that is held open and then allowed to close upon the aneurysm (the jaws). Both devices provides closing force through a cross legged design built around a spring which is compressed when the applying tool holds the shaft of the clamp. Both devices use clip jaws with a pyramidal shape, tapering from the proximal to distal ends. The predicate device uses a smooth clip jaw with no toothing in the design. The application device has rounded teeth included in the pyramidal jaw surfaces. Both the predicate and the application clip are provided in a range of shapes including straight, angled, curved, and slight curved.
  • 32. CONFIDENTIAL Page 32 of 84 Both devices are provided in two different clip length ranges, Long and Regular. Both devices have clip closing force ranges for the Long and Regular clip designs. Both devices further specify a design specific clip closing force specification for each clip design within either the Long or Regular clip length range. Technology (materials) The predicate device is manufactured out of Elgilory (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron included.) The application device is manufactured out of PEEK (Zeniva® polyetherketone) Zeniva® PEEK has a long history of use in implants, such as the reference device RoG Sports Medicine Suture Anchor (K110229). The technology and materials used to prepare the Zeniva® PEEK resin are identical for both the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the reference device RoG Sports Medicine Suture Anchor, refer to attached manufacturer's Master File. The reference device material and the material in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip are both for permanent implantation and are biocompatible per ISO 10993. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) demonstrated that Zeniva® PEEK could perform acceptably under application conditions, yielding sufficient clip closing force for the intended use. Bench testing and animal studies were consistent with this. Technology (packaging and sterilization) Both devices are packaged individually. Both devices are packaged with a tear off label for attaching to patient charts. The predicate device is provided non-sterile. The application device is provided sterile, steam sterilization is used. Conclusion The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any unresolved issues of safety or efficacy. Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.
  • 33. CONFIDENTIAL Page 33 of 84 C. 510(k) Flowchart Comparison to Predicate Device Is the predicate device legally marketed? YES. The predicate device was cleared under premarket notification K990202. Do the devices have the same intended use? YES. The intended uses are identical, as evidenced by the similarity of the indications for use. There are no differences in the indications for use. Do the devices have the same technological characteristics? NO. Both of these devices are designed to occlude cerebral aneurysms from normal blood flow by clamping off the neck of the aneurysm. Both devices are designed with jaws that are held in the open configuration when the device is held within the device application tool. Both devices are designed such that the jaws close when the application tool is released, applying sufficient force to close off the blood vessel supplying the aneurysm. They differ in that the predicate is machined out of Elgiloy (cobalt/nickel alloy with 17% iron included) and the application device is injection molded out of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone). The predicate is electropolished for optimal surface smoothness (to decrease potential corrosion and to lower the risk of serving as a scaffold for biofilm formation). The predicate device has a surface coating for identification as a permanent aneurysm clamp. It is coated with a blue coloring. The application device is not coated with any surface coating. The application device is manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK with no colorants added. Do the devices raise different questions of safety or effectiveness? NO. The devices have the same intended use. The devices are intended for the same patient cohort. The differences in technology do not raise different questions of safety and efficacy because the test data provided below demonstrates that the essential performance characteristics of the devices are identical. Are the testing methods acceptable? YES. Accepted standards are used and accepted testing methodologies are employed (refer to list in
  • 34. CONFIDENTIAL Page 34 of 84 Section 9: Declarations of Conformity and Summary Reports). See sections 18 through 20 for supporting evidence. Do the data demonstrate equivalence and support the indications? YES. All mechanical testing (e.g., clamp force testing, clamp reliability testing), biocompatibility, electrical safety testing, magnetic susceptibility testing, functional testing, and animal data demonstrate that the CLARITYAneurysm Clip is adequate for its intended use, as is the predicate system.

Each clip package is labeled with the part number, part name, lot number and clip nominal closing force. The instructions below are common to all CLARITY ANEURYSM CLIP part numbers listed above. Refer to each clip package label for expiration date.  Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips manufactured out of Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) by injection molding. The CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are for use by surgeons in surgery to treat aneurysms. Indications for Use:  The Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips are intended for use in implantation for permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms.  Contraindications: None DANGER The application of aneurysm clips involves the following severe risks: Shifting or breakage of the aneurysm clip Yawing of the jaw parts Rupture of the aneurysm due to puncture Incomplete contact of the clip jaws on the aneurysm neck Cerebrovascular spasm Sudden death. For large aneurysms - reduction of the blood vessel cross-section close to the edge of the blood vessel with consequential impeded circulation in the region affected. In addition, as in any surgery, infections of the operation wound and general surgical complications are also possible risks.
  • 38. CONFIDENTIAL Page 38 of 84 DANGER Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY aneurysm clips are manufactured from Zeniva® PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and are not ferromagnetic. They are safe for MRI and CAT scans. However, patients who have previously been clipped with other aneurysm clips may be at risk for interactions between the clip and the magnetic field of the scanner. Sunnyvale Surgical recommends that all patients with a history of aneurysm in need of MRI or CAT scan undergo an X-ray to determine the number of clips and or/coils present. If aneurysm clips or coils are present, the patient's medical records should be examined to determine if the identity (and MRI/CAT scan compatibility can be confirmed. If the identity and MRI/CAT scan compatibility can not be confirmed for every clip and coil present, the hospital should perform a risk/benefit review and assessment and obtain patient consent prior to any further actions. DANGER Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are designed for single use only. If clips exceed their expiration date but are not otherwise compromised, they must be considered no longer sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. Use a validated sterilization protocol for clip sterilization. Reuse, reprocessing or re-sterilization may create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause patient infection or cross-infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness or death of the patient. Any aneurysm clip that has come in contact with a patient's blood or bodily fluid should not, under any circumstances, be cleaned, re-sterilized or in any other way prepared for use in another patient. Any aneurysm clip that has come into contact with any patient’s blood or bodily fluids and which is not implanted should be disposed of in accord with local regulations. CAUTION To exclude damage, inaccurate functioning or incorrect clip closing force always apply each Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip with the LittleJaw tool. If clip removal or repositioning is required, remove each Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip with the appropriate forceps, the BackOut forceps. Never use the aneurysm clips with appliers or removal forceps from other manufacturers. Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are manufactured from PEEK and must be used with the Sunnyvale Surgical tools. The LittleJaw tool has a specially lined clip holding area to protect the clip from scratching or other damage. For further information on suitable appliers and removal forceps, please contact Sunnyvale Surgical.
  • 39. CONFIDENTIAL Page 39 of 84 Instructions for use: Inspection -  Upon receipt, inspect each aneurysm clip package. Carefully inspect the package prior to use for any breach of the sterile barrier or damage to the contents. If the sterile barrier integrity is compromised (open, torn, perforated or otherwise damaged), DO NOT USE and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative NOTE - Each permanent aneurysm clips package contains additional labels showing the Sunnyvale Surgical part number and the production lot number of the clip. To facilitate the subsequent radiological examination, the patient’s file (for the hospital) and the patient ID (see below) should be marked with these labels. Storage -  Store Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips in their sterile packaging in a dry and dust free area protected from chemical fumes and extreme air or temperature fluctuations. Pre use inspection –  If the sterility of the aneurysm clip has “expired” (use-by date)”, the aneurysm clip must be regarded as unsterile. It must be sterilized according to the instructions given in the sections on cleaning and sterilizing.  Open the clip packaging inside a sterile field and examine the clip prior to use. Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY permanent aneurysm clips are clear in color and etched with their production lot code. Check that the clip lot number on the package and clip lot number etched onto the clip are identical. If the lot numbers do not match, DO NOT USE. Contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative.  Inspect the clip. Any clip found with one or more of the following characteristics should not be used: Signs of damage Incorrect jaw position Bent components Changed closing force Misalignment  Prior to each use, inspect the LittleJaw tool and BackOut forceps for damage. If the LittleJaw tool or BackOut forceps appears to be loose, bent, broken, cracked, worn, or fractured DO NOT USE. Set them aside and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative.
  • 40. CONFIDENTIAL Page 40 of 84 Clip placement tools -  The Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool and Sunnyvale Surgical BackOut forceps must be used for applying and removing the CLARITY Aneurysm Clips.  The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip must never be used with appliers or removal forceps from any other manufacturers. The LittleJaw tool and BackOut forceps have a specially lined clip holding area to protect the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips from scratching or other damage. Procedure prior to clip placement -  Examine the region for each aneurysm to be clipped to determine whether there are other clips in place already and how these will affect positioning of the clips to be placed.  Examine the aneurysm itself and confirm that the neck to aneurysm ratio is within a factor of three or greater. If the aneurysm has a neck to sack ratio of less than three, DO NOT USE the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clips are not for use with aneurysms with neck to sack ratios of less than three.  Access the aneurysm and obtain vascular control upstream of the desired clip position. After confirmation of vascular control, determine of the appropriate clip shape for use. Picking up clips – CAUTION Never open an aneurysm clip with your fingers. Avoid manual and/or mechanical manipulation of the aneurysm clip. Excessive, rough or repeated handling, especially opening and closing can change closing force and impair clinical effectiveness.  Pick up the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip using the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool. The clip jaws will open as pressure is applied to the clip base through the LittleJaw tool. Use a steady and smooth manual pressure to grasp the clip base.  When picking up the aneurysm clips, carefully pick up the whole aneurysm clip with the jaw piece of the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool.
  • 41. CONFIDENTIAL Page 41 of 84 CAUTION If an aneurysm clip appears changed or shows signs of damage, e.g. incorrect jaw position, bent parts or changed closing force, DO NOT USE and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative. After picking up the aneurysm clip with the LittleJaw tool, observe the opening of the clip jaws. If the clip jaws do not open to the full width, DO NOT USE and contact your Sunnyvale Surgical representative.  These directions for use must also be observed when using the removal forceps. Clip placement -  Maneuver the LittleJaw tool into position near the neck of the aneurysm and close to the blood vessel. Align the blades of the clip with the aneurysm. Slowly and smoothly release the grip of the LittleJaw tool, allowing the clip to close. Observe the aneurysm during release of the grip of the LittleJaw tool. Do not remove the LittleJaw tool until the clip is seated.  Observe the position of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip on the aneurysm. Make certain that the clip sits on the aneurysm neck and close to the blood vessel. If there is any concern about the clip position, use the BackOut forceps to remove and replace the clip. Sunnyvale Surgical does not recommend more than two placement attempts per clip.  If additional clips are needed to control an aneurysm, additional clips may be placed at this time. If aneurysms are found which are not candidates for clipping, this must be noted and a further treatment plan developed.  Observe all clipped aneurysms for conclusive evidence of complete vascular control prior to closing. NOTE - if placement of the clip fails, but the LittleJaw tool is in good order and used correctly, this may mean that the clip length or shape chosen are incorrect and that a different clip will be successfully place. CAUTION To preclude the possibility of a galvanic reaction, avoid implanting permanent aneurysm clips made of different materials and/or by different manufacturers in such a way that they touch each other.
  • 42. CONFIDENTIAL Page 42 of 84 Additional steps – label and Patient ID -  Each permanent aneurysm clips package contains additional labels showing the Sunnyvale Surgical part number and the production lot number of the clip. To facilitate the subsequent radiological examination, the patient’s file (for the hospital) and the patient ID (see below) should be marked with these labels. One label should be placed on the patient's file and the patient ID for each clip implanted.  The Patient ID contains important information concerning the aneurysm clip implanted and the operation can be noted down on the patient ID. The contents of the Patient ID are: – Patient data – Hospital data – Date of operation – Name of surgeon – Article number and individual serial number of the aneurysm clip implanted  To facilitate postoperative radiological examination, each patient should receive a patient ID. Additional steps – after use  After use, dispose of product and packaging in accordance with hospital, administrative and/or local government policy. Do not attempt to use this product before thoroughly reading the Manual and Directions for Use. For future reference, keep these documents in a convenient, easily accessible place.

  • 43. CONFIDENTIAL Page 43 of 84 Cleaning and Disinfection: WARNING Permanent aneurysm clips that have been implanted before or been in contact with blood, tissue, or body fluids must be set aside for disposal. They must not be sterilized or reused.  Each aneurysm clip in its unopened original packaging has been packed and sterilized individually and is supplied as a sterile product.  Aneurysm clips must be regarded as unsterile if the sterile packaging is open, torn, perforated or damaged, or if the sterility of the product has “expired” because the date of use is later than the use-by date. If desired, sterilization can be carried out on aneurysm clips.  Sterilization has to be carried out through a validated sterilization process. e.g. in a sterilizer conforming to standards EN 285/ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11134-1993, ANSI/AAMI ST46-1993 and validated according to EN 554/ISO 13683. Using a non-validated sterilization process may result in the aneurysm clip being unsterile  Sterilization of the device may be accomplished by steam under generally accepted hospital in- use conditions.. Sunnyvale Surgical does not recommend the device be sterilized by "Flash" or chemical sterilization.  Recommended sterilization parameters are as follows: Sterilization method – pre vacuum Temperature – 270-275 F Minimum exposure time (wrapped) – 5 min Minimum exposure time (in a sterile container system) – 5 min

In the even that the opened clip package is placed onto a tray for an operation but the clip is not used, it would no longer be sterile and would need to be sterilized prior to return to stock for use in any following operation. The Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool is designed for reuse within the hospital. Cleaning and disinfection instructions for the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw Surgical tool are not included in this 510(k) premarket notification. Rather, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization instructions for the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool are provided in the labeling for the LittleJaw tool. Listed below are the responses to the requirements set forth by the FDA memo dated December 12, 2008: Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile. a. Sterilization method to be used: Gamma Radiation Contract Sterilizer: Sterigenics International Contact: Patrick Stewart 5900 Obata Way Gilroy, CA 95020 Telephone: 408-848-4035 Establishment Registration Number: 3004784675 b. Description of the method to be used to validate the sterilization cycle: Validation of the sterilization cycle will be conducted in accordance with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137- 1+2+3:2006, Sterilization of health care products – Radiation, and AAMI TIR33:2005 for setting irradiation dose used. The Vdmax method will be used for validation of the sterilization cycle. Thirty clips (ten clips each from three prototype production lots) will be used in an initial bioburden determination to measure the average bioburden found in the CLARITY clips. Although the clips are smooth surfaced and do not possess any lumens or cavities in their design, both wiping and rinsing methods will be used in conjunction to measure bioburden. Based on the average bioburden determined, the initial verification dose will be set according to the
  • 46. CONFIDENTIAL Page 46 of 84 guidelines in AAMI TIR33:2005. Ten clips from one lot will be irradiated at the initial verification dose and then checked for any remaining bioburden after irradiation. Following the initial verification of the irradiation dosage, periodic dose audits will be performed according to the guidelines in the New Products section of the Sunnyvale Surgical Master Validation Protocol. After four passed audits and at least one year, dose audits will be shifted to the schedule for Production Products in the Sunnyvale Surgical Master Validation Protocol. c. A description of the packaging to maintain the device’s sterility: Packaging and sterilization of the device meets the conditions set forth by the FDA consensus standards for sterile devices: AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11607-1 and 2:2006, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices. Packaging is designed to be compatible with the sterilization method to retain sterile integrity of the product and avoid damage to the devices until opened. Additionally, the entire shipping configuration will be tested to be in accordance with ASTM D4169, Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems and ASTM F88-99, Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials. Testing data is not required per guidance described above. The devices are packaged in the following materials: Tyvek/Mylar pouch around tray containing device. d. If sterilization involves EO, the maximum levels of residuals of EO and ethylene chlorhydrin that remain on the device: The device is not sterilized with EO. e. Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) required: The SAL for the device will be 10-6 or better. The probability of an organism surviving a given cycle will not be more than one out of one million. f. Whether the product is non-pyrogenic and the method used to make that determination: The product will not be labeled as “Nonpyrogenic.” However, Sunnyvale Surgical has demonstrated that the surfaces of the clamp which make contact with the brain are nonpyrogenic. See Section 15. g. Radiation Sterilization Dose: >25kGy. Exact amount used will be set afterthe average bioburden is measured and sterilization dose is then set according to the Vdmax method as detailed in AAMI TIR33:2005. h. Sterilization by User: The device is single use only. If the user needs to sterilize the device, Sunnyvale Surgical suggests use of a validated steam sterilization protocol.
  • 47. CONFIDENTIAL Page 47 of 84 i. Expiration Date: The expiration date for the device will be 1 years after the manufactured date based upon the product having passed a 1 year (accelerated) shelf life study. This study will involve test sample clips from three lots that have been sterilized with the validated irradiation dose. The study will be performed according to the guidelines in the FDA Guidance for Industry, Shelf Life of Medical Devices (dated April 1991). Packaged, terminally sterilized clips will be stored under typical distribution center conditions (humidity, air flow, and exposure to light). For acceleration, clips will be stored at 40 C, 15 degrees above the storage temperature specified on the labeling. At 15 degrees above room temperature, aging due to temperature related processes happens at a rate 2.41 fold greater than at room temperature. Clips will be stored at 40 C for 5 months, equivalent to an accelerated 12 month aging. The clips within packaging will be tested for the integrity of the package and package seal. Copies of the Storage of Shelf Life Samples and Accelerated Aging Parameters are available upon request. Testing of clips will include pull tests for the pouch itself and for the seal region in specific. In addition to testing clips off the shelf, clips from storage will be placed under simulated shipping and handling stress to determine whether shipping and handling can compromise the seal or the package itself. Copies of the Testing Protocol and the Simulated Shipping and Handling Stresses Protocol are available on request. The company will support the accelerated life test data with a standard life test, and anticipates that it will validate 1 year of shelf life prior to commercialization.

  • 49. CONFIDENTIAL Page 49 of 84 The CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is used intracranially and is in no way load bearing. Under use, the clip will not experience load or torque, and after placement is not at risk of snapping or breaking due to loads or torques. Review of the medical literature demonstrates that this material has been used in medical devices in a similar patient contact manner for many years. Examples of such devices include the RoGTM Sports Medicine Suture Anchor. As a result, it can be concluded that the medical community is satisfied that the benefits of these materials outweigh the risks of patient interactions. No additional warnings are necessary to mitigate any interaction risks. The materials in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip passed all tests recommended by the international standards, and their interaction risks, as presented in other devices and/or described in the medical literature, can be mitigated to a point that is acceptable to the medical community. It can be concluded that the materials in the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip do not pose a risk of negative interaction with the patients. The benefits of the device outweigh the biocompatibility risks of the device.

  • 61. CONFIDENTIAL Page 61 of 84 Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc. TM-002: CLARITY Aneurysm Clip Simulated Use Testing Purpose: This test method assesses the performance characteristics of the clips after placement in a simulated use environment. Scope: This testing covers the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip. The worst case design of the clips, clip design number 5 was tested. Clip design number 5 incorporates an 11 mm clip jaw length, a 9.5 mm maximum open clip width, and a slightly curved jaw design. Modeling and simulation showed that of all clip designs included, clip design 5 had the greatest calculated probability of slippage (by ten fold compared to the design with the next highest slippage probability.) Clip design number 5 was also calculated to have the greatest potential variation in clip closing force (by a factor of six fold compared to the design with the next highest calculated potential variation in clip closing force.)

  • 62. CONFIDENTIAL Page 62 of 84 Sample Size:  39 clips (13 each from three production lots) are to be used for each clip design.  9 clips are for microscopic examination by test laboratory after simulated use protocol is performed.  30 clips are for functional testing by test laboratory after simulated use protocol is performed. Test Method: 1. Each clip shall be sterilized as per the sterilization procedure before test begins. All clips should be sterilized in the same load to minimize variation. 2. Check clip alignment with clip alignment tester, Fixture FX-005. Record results as “pass” or “fail” on data sheet A.(Data sheet A is in the complete test report.) 3. Measure the nominal closing force for each clip using the method and piezoelectric force crystal measurement system described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the nominal clip closing force for each clip in column 1 of data sheet B. 4. Measure the closing force for each clip a total of three more times, using the method and apparatus described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the clip closing forces in columns 2 through 4 of data sheet B. 5. For each clip under test, calculate the average of the three closing force measurements and record in data sheet A. For each clip under test, calculate the percent difference between each of the three clip closing measurements and the nominal closing force measured. Record percent differences in data sheet A. 6. Prepare clips for simulated use – Fill test vessels with bicarbonate buffered saline and bring to 37 degrees. For each clip tested, take a 5 cm piece of Arteriortube tubing and fit a Blood Vessel stopper fitting into one end of the tubing. Fill the clip with 666 microliters of bicarbonate buffered saline with 0.001% colorant added. 7. Prepare clips for simulated use – Using the Sunnyvale Surgical LittleJaw tool, apply one aneurysm clip onto each prepared piece of tubing. Take care to place each clip so that the jaws close in the region between the two pink Clip Placement Lines on the Arteriotube tubing. After clip is applied, wash the tubing thoroughly to remove any possible leaked or spilled saline with colorant. Fill beyond the clipped portion of the Arteriotube tubing with bicarbonate buffered saline. Allow some saline to spill out of the tubing to ensure no bubbles remain in tubing.
  • 63. CONFIDENTIAL Page 63 of 84 8. Apply a Blood Vessel Manifold fitting to the end of each piece of Arteriortube tubing. Connect the Blood Vessel Manifold fittings to the manifold attachment on the SuckerBlo high resolution alternating peristaltic pump. Make sure that the CranerCo in line pressure monitor is in place between the mainfold and the SuckerBlo high resolution peristaltic pump. Check that the feedback sensors from the CranerCo in line pressure monitor are connected to the SuckerBlo inputs. 9. Set the SuckerBlo alternating peristaltic pump to a push-pull cycle of 60 cycles per minute with pressure feedback of 300 mm Hg. Program the SuckerBlo for 31.56 million cycles. Cycling will last one year. 10. During cycling, carefully check the test vessels for sufficient buffered saline and lack of microbial growth or contamination. Cycling vessels should be checked at least once every day. Any vessels which lose clips should be removed from test and the clips analyzed. 11. Leakage test: When cycling ends, remove each piece of Arteriotube tubing (with clip and fittings) from the test vessel. Place the tube with clip and fittings into blacklight chamber and excite at mid wavelength. Carefully rotate each clip under blacklight, looking for any evidence of fluorescence around the clip application area or elsewhere. Photograph the region around the clip application area from all sides and place photographs in the test data file. Note findings on data sheet A. If any tubing shows fluorescence, it has leaked and the clip must be marked as failed. 12. Blade alignment test: Check clip alignment with clip alignment tester, Fixture FX-005. Record results as “pass” or “fail” on data sheet A. 13. Slipping test: Observe each clip on the tubing. Is the clip still seated between the pink lines where it was originally placed? If yes, mark YES in data sheet A. If clip has slipped, note the direction of the slip (toward the stopper fitting or away from it) and the degree of slip in mm. 14. Clamp closing force test: Measure the nominal closing force for each clip using the method and apparatus described in Sunnyvale Surgical TM-001. Record the nominal clip closing force for each clip in column 5 of data sheet B. 15. Clamp closing force calculation: Record the percent change in clamp closing force after simulated use as measured against the nominal clamp closing force before simulated use. Record the percent change in column 6 of data sheet B. 16. Clamp closing force evaluation: If the percent change in clamp closing force is less than 2%, mark a PASS in column 15. If the percent change is greater than 2%, mark FAIL in column 7 of data sheet B. 17. Corrosion susceptibility test: Corrosion susceptibility of each clip will be tested by ReferenceLabs Inc. Carefully package each clip for shipping to ReferenceLabs Inc. The reports for each clip tested at ReferenceLabs Inc. should be attached to the final Test Report.

  • 69. CONFIDENTIAL Page 69 of 84 Section 19: Performance Testing - Animal Animal testing was performed to collect data on the suitability of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip for permanent implantation. The testing was performed per Protocol Animal-001. A summary of the protocol and results follow. In conclusion, the animal testing showed that the CLARITYAneurysm Clip is suitable for permanent implantation. There were no significant changes in behavior in implanted animals monitored. EEG evaluations showed no significant differences between animals implanted with the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and those implanted with the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip. Sunnyvale Surgical, Inc Animal Study—001 Purpose: The objective of the animal study is to collect data on the suitability of the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip for permanent implantation in the brain. Study Endpoint / Pre-defined Acceptance Criteria: Behavior of rabbits implanted was monitored on a daily basis for nine months, three months pre implantation and six months post implantation. No significant differences in four behaviors scored should be seen between rabbits implanted with the CLARITY clip and rabbits implanted with the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip. Secondary endpoints of the study were to observe EEG evaluations from rabbits implanted with the CLARITY clip and the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip and to measure seizure threshold in implanted rabbits. Rabbits implanted with CLARITY Aneurysm Clip shall not show gross differences in EEG evaluations when compared to rabbits implanted with Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clips. No significant difference in seizure thresholds should be seen. Methods and Materials: 1. Sunnyvale Surgical commissioned a six month intracranial, non-clinical implant study of 30 rabbits, divided into three groups:  12 rabbits were implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip  12 rabbits were implanted with the Sugita Titanium Aneurysm Clip  6 were non implanted controls. 2. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits were monitored daily for three months. The following four behaviors were monitored and scored: appetite, sleep, aggression, and curiosity. 3. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits underwent one EEG at the onset of the study and one additional EEG two days before implantation. 4. To establish a baseline, prior to implantation, all rabbits underwent testing for seizure threshold latency at the onset of the study and once more two days before implantation.
  • 70. CONFIDENTIAL Page 70 of 84 5. After three months observation, rabbits were implanted with either the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip, the Sugita Titanium clip, or underwent a sham procedure (no clip implanted control). 6. Behavior of rabbits was monitored on a daily basis for six months. The following four behaviors were monitored and scored: appetite, sleep, aggression, and curiosity. 7. Once each month, rabbits underwent an EEG. EEG results from each month were overlaid on the baseline EEGs. EEGs from each month were overlaid on EEGs from all post implantation months to analyze for negative trends. 8. Once each month, rabbits were tested to determine seizure threshold latency. 9. Study was concluded six months post implantation. Results: Both the rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the rabbits implanted with the Sugita Titanium clip showed no statistically significant changes in any of the four behaviors monitored at any time period post implantation compared to the rabbits treated with the sham procedure. Both the rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and the rabbits implanted with the Sugita Titanium clip showed no statistically significant changes in seizure threshold latency at any time period post implantation when compared to rabbits treated with the sham procedure. Both rabbits implanted with the Sunnyvale Surgical CLARITY Aneurysm Clip and implanted with the Sugita Titanium clip showed no significant differences in EEGs as compared to rabbits treated with the sham procedure at any time period post implantation. Conclusion: The animal testing showed that the CLARITY Aneurysm Clip is suitable for permanent implantation in the brain.
