Page 2
The Angio-Seal™ Evolution™ Vascular Closure Device consists of the Angio-Seal Evolution Device, an insertion sheath, an arteriotomy locator (modifi ed dilator) and a guidewire. The Angio-Seal Evolution Device is composed of an absorbable collagen sponge and a specially designed absorbable polymer anchor that are connected by an absorbable self- tightening suture (STS).
ADVERSE EVENTS The Angio-Seal Device was evaluated in a non-randomized clinical trial involving 306 patients in whom the access sites were closed with the device following diagnostic angiography (n=97) or percutaneous coronary intervention (n=209) procedures. Table 1 reports the adverse events as a percentage of patients who received the Angio-Seal Device in the clinical investigation.

The effectiveness of the Angio-Seal Device was evaluated by times to hemostasis and ambulation. Time to hemostasis was defi ned as the elapsed time from device deployment until cessation of bleeding. Time to ambulation was defi ned as the elapsed time from device deployment to the time the patient walked for fi ve minutes or 100 feet. Major and overall complication rates comprised the safety endpoints.
Results of the clinical study demonstrate that patients that have undergone diagnostic angiography and have received a 6F Angio-Seal Device can safely and effectively ambulate in less than 20 minutes and be discharged one hour post ambulation. HOW SUPPLIED The Angio-Seal Evolution Vascular Closure Device is supplied sterile in a bag. This bag contains the following supplies. 1 each: •...

Figure 2 Insertion Sheath NOTE: When resistance is encountered at the anterior vessel wall during over-the -guidewire advancement of the Angio-Seal locator/insertion sheath assembly, rotate the assembly 90 degrees so the reference indicator is facing away from the user. This places the beveled tip of the insertion sheath perpendicular to the anterior vessel wall.

b) if necessary, rotate the insertion sheath so that the reference indicator (arrow) on the insertion sheath cap is facing up (Figure 5). Figure 5 Insertion Sheath Patient WARNING: Under normal conditions, the Angio-Seal insertion sheath should not move into or out of the artery for the remainder of the Angio-Seal Device deployment procedure.

3. With one hand, continue to hold the insertion sheath cap steady to prevent movement of the sheath into or out of the artery. With the other hand, grasp the device handle and slowly and carefully pull back. Slight resistance will be felt when the device sleeve is pulled out from the rear holding position. Continue pulling on the device handle until resistance from the anchor catching on the distal tip of the insertion sheath is felt.

C. Seal the Puncture 1. Once the anchor has been deployed correctly (Figure 9), and the device handle has been locked into the full rear locked position (Figure 10), avoid applying pressure to the puncture site with the non-deploying hand. Carefully withdraw the device/sheath assembly along the angle of the puncture tract to position the anchor against the vessel wall (Figure 12). NOTE: Do not attempt to re-insert the device.
