AngioDynamics, Inc. announced that on April 9, 2021, it submitted a 510(k) application to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the AlphaVac System, an off-circuit, multi-purpose mechanical aspiration thrombectomy device for the treatment of undesirable intravascular material in the venous system and peripheral vasculature. The AlphaVac System combines two of AngioDynamics’ proprietary technologies: a new mechanical aspiration handle and the Company’s innovative self-expanding funnel tip and is designed to provide precise control in the removal of clot burden while minimizing patient blood loss. Undesirable intravascular material can include thrombus, embolus, and vegetation found in a patient’s venous system, including the peripheral vasculature. AngioDynamics anticipates the release of the AlphaVac System in the second half of calendar year 2021, subject to FDA clearance.
