The FDA has the authority to require device manufacturers to perform postmarket surveillance under Section 522 of the Food, Drugs and Cosmetics (FD&C) Act, when questions are identified for devices that meet the statutory criteria. This database contains information about 522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies that have been required. This database allows you to search information about the postmarket surveillance requirements by manufacturer or device.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives Prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized, observational, post-market surveillance (PS) study.
The primary objective of this post-market surveillance study is to support the short-term safety of the device and procedure and further assess long-term safety and effectiveness in subjects treated by newly trained providers of the Ellipsys Vascular Access System in the creation of a native AV fistula via percutaneous access in subjects who are on hemodialysis and are medically indicated for the creation of an upper limb anastomosis.
Study Population patients who are on hemodialysis and are medically indicated for the creation of upper limb anastomosis.
Sample Size Up to 134, over 14 US sites
Key Study Endpoints Primary Safety Endpoint:
Early Occlusion, Study Related Serious Adverse Events through 12 months
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint:
Cumulative Patency through 12 months post-AVF creation
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up 12 months
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 142 subjects were consented
131 subjects had successful procedures completed
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 12 sites enrolled at least 1 subject
Patient Followup Rate Follow-up Rate 131 subjects with completed successful procedure
1wk: 126/131 (96.2%)
4wk: 126/128 (98.4%)
3mo: 113/121 (93.4%)
6mo: 108/114 (94.7%)
12mo: 98/99 (99.0%)
At study completion, 32 subjects had exited the study early: 3 adverse event, 7 death, 11 investigator withdrew subject, 5 subject chose to exit, 2 kidney transplant, 2 peritoneal dialysis, 2 lost to follow-up
Final Safety Findings Safety Results Subjects with any of the following through 12 months:
device-related events: 8/131 (6.1%)
procedure-related events: 18/131 (13.7%)
secondary procedure-related events: 11/131 (8.4%)
serious adverse events: 55/131 (42.0%)

Early occlusions (within 7 days of procedure):
2/131 (1.5%) subjects
Final Effectiveness Findings Effectiveness Results Key safety findings (6 months | 12 months)
Cumulative patency: 99.1% | 99.1%
Primary patency: 64.1% | 54.1%
Assisted primary patency: 92.9% | 90.1%

Physiological maturation (site reported | Core Lab)
3 months: 56/113 (49.6%) | 52/113 (46.0%)
6 months: 64/108 (59.3%) | 57/108 (52.8%)
12 months: 51/98 (52.0%) | 38/98 (38.8%)
Functional cannulation success rate KM estimate
6 months: 49.3% (58)
12 months: 75.7% (85)
Study Strengths and Weaknesses Study Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: Study events were adjudicated by an external clinical events committee (CEC) and duplex ultrasound images were evaluated by an external Core lab; study collected data on real-world use of the device.
Weaknesses: This was a non-randomized, non-blinded clinical trial with inherent biases. The study demographics over-represent White subjects compared to the End-Stage Kidney Disease population.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Recommendations for Labeling Changes No labeling changes recommended; the manufacturer has indicated the device will no longer be marketed.
