Conclusion
“This large
multicenter registry
supports the safety,
feasibility, and
potential usefulness
of hemodynamic
support with Impella
2.5 in HR PCI.”
“The use of
Impella 2.5 in
HR PCI
appeared
feasible and safe
in the real-world
setting.”
“The Impella 2.5
system is safe,
easy to implant,
and provides
excellent
hemodynamic
support during
HR PCI.”
“The 30
-
day incidence of MAE
was not different for patients
with IABP or Impella
2.5
hemodynamic support.
However, trends for improved
outcomes were observed for
Impella
2.5 supported patients
at 90-days.”

Clinical Summary: Objectives-I
FDA Executive Summary identified 5 studies using the
Impella 2.5 device, comprising 231 patients undergoing
HR-PCI.  We would request that the Panel also consider
additional analyses published after the 2011
ACC/AHA/SCAI guidelines not included in the FDA
Summary.

Clinical Summary: Objectives-II
FDA Executive Summary provides a preliminary

study as described by the DSMB.  We would request that
the Advisory Panel also consider:
-

-
PROTECT-II:  Four pre-defined subgroup analyses
-
Other Registries and post-hoc analyses that describe
the totality of clinical evidence supporting the
reasonable safety and efficacy of the Impella 2.5

Summary
Summary
Safety concerns mitigated with review of all
available clinical evidence associated with the use
of the Impella 2.5
Substantial improvements in hemodynamics have
been demonstrated with Impella 2.5 v. IABP
Examination of the totality of the clinical evidence
associated with the use of the Impella 2.5 v. IABP
support efficacy in defined patient populations


34
Conclusion
Conclusion
Comprehensive review of the totality of clinical
evidence associated with the use of the Impella
2.5 device for its labeled “< 6 hour”
indication
supports the safety and efficacy of this device,
particularly in patients undergoing high-risk PCI
Ongoing surveillance with a comprehensive
National Registry is recommended to understand
patient outcomes for these and other indications
when applied beyond a randomized study

Non-clinical Performance/Bench testing (41 tests on average per
application)
Clinical data (Impella 2.5: 129 patients)
Testing includes evaluations of structural/tissue damage to heart,
local heat generation and flow dynamics

Abiomed Recommendation:
Establish
an
inclusive
Prospective
National
Registry
of
Percutaneous
Circulatory
Support
Leveraging current infrastructure of the Impella Registry
On-going registry, in cooperation with FDA and the appropriate
professional society, would enhance the current risk mitigation
controls for class II regulation of these devices
Combined with existing data, can potentially support future PMA
indications

Safety
Record
Supports
Effectiveness of Current Controls
Since 2008, Impella has been used over 15,000 times worldwide and
has
had
no
recalls
in
the
United
States
and
1
recall
outside
the
US
which effected a total of 4 units
There have been a total of 49 MDR’s since its introduction for an
overall MDR rate of 0.32%
Only 16 of these MDR’s were associated with Adverse Events, for an
MDR with AE rate of 0.11%
40


Conclusion
41


For temporary ventricular support up to 6 hours, including support
provided during HRPCI, Impella meets the requirements for a class II
designation
42
Conclusion
Further, we recommend the establishment of a prospective national
registry of percutaneous circulatory support as an added special
control for class II regulation of current and future devices
Sufficient information (valid scientific evidence) exists to identify risks
and benefits
The risks to health have been identified and quantified
Special
controls
have
been
currently
implemented
to
mitigate
these
risks
Impella safety record supports effectiveness of current controls
