Description
The CorPath GRX System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires, rapid exchange balloon/stent catheters and guide catheters during percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) procedures.
The complete CorPath GRX System includes the following major components:
The Bedside Components consist of an Extended Reach Arm, Robotic Drive and Single-use Cassette. The Extended Reach Arm is mounted on a bed rail and supports the Robotic Drive.
Robotic Drive: Receives inputs from the Control Console. These inputs actuate mechanical operations in Single-use Cassette as movements to a loaded guidewire, balloon/stent catheter, and guide catheter. The Robotic Drive moves forward and backwards to advance and retract the guide catheter. A Bedside Touchscreen on the Robotic Drive provides the user interface for bedside
operator during system set-up, loading and device exchanges. Single-use Cassette: Attaches to the Robotic Drive and can be loaded with commercially available
guide catheters, guidewires, and balloon/stent catheters. This Single-use Cassette advances, retracts, and rotates the guidewire, advances and retracts the balloon/stent catheter, and rotates the guide catheter.
Extended Reach Arm: Mounted on the rail of the procedure table and supports the Robotic Drive.
The Interventional Cockpit, houses the Control Console, the X-ray Foot Pedal, and Monitor(s) to display angiographic and hemodynamic data. It is designed to protect the physician from radiation exposure while
maneuvering interventional devices.
CorPath GRX Operator’s Manual
150-02721 Rev A
7 Control Console: Enables the physician to remotely manipulate the guide catheter, guidewire, and balloon/stent catheter. The Control Console has a touchscreen and three joysticks: one joystick for balloon/stent catheter manipulation, one for guidewire manipulation, and a third joystick for guide catheter manipulation.
The CorPath GRX System Control Console and Robotic Drive work together via a communication cable. The physician’s commands are communicated to the Robotic Drive using either the touchscreen or the
joysticks. Control Console Touchscreen operation advances and retracts the balloon/stent catheter, guidewire, or guide catheter in discrete 1mm steps. The Control Console Touchscreen can also be used to rotate the guidewire in 30° increments. The joystick controls maneuver the catheters or guidewire in a continuous mode.
During advancement of the catheters or guidewire, the system provides continuous, distinct audible sounds
indicating to the operator the speed the device is traveling. An audible change in the frequency of the sounds indicates a change in the speed of device travel. If the rotational and linear functions are operated
simultaneously, the audible beep for the linear function will override the audible sound for the rotational function.

A. Indication for Use, Warnings and Precautions
Indications for Use: The CorPath GRX System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and rapid exchange balloon/stent catheters, and remote manipulation of guide catheters during percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) procedures.
Contraindications: None known
Warnings: The CorPath GRX System should only be used by qualified personnel familiar with PCI techniques after they have successfully completed the CorPath GRX System training program (which includes didactic and hands-on sessions with the CorPath
GRX System utilizing a vascular model).
The devices should not be moved with CorPath GRX System without fluoroscopic visualization.
The turbo function should not be used when the guidewire or balloon/stent catheter is intra-arterial. The turbo function must only be used when the guidewire
and balloon/stent catheter are in the guide catheter.
The guide catheter should be manually engaged by physician; the CorPath guide catheter control function is intended to maintain or adjust engagement.
Precautions: The CorPath GRX System has not been evaluated in chronic total occlusions (CTOs), ostial lesions, and moderately to severely calcified lesions.
The CorPath GRX System should only be used with 0.014" guidewires and rapid exchange balloon/stent catheters.
The CorPath GRX System is recommended for use with the Abbott Vascular COPILOT® Bleedback Control Valve (Y-Connector). The use of other Y-Connectors with the CorPath GRX System has not been evaluated.
The CorPath GRX System is recommended for use with guide catheter sizes 5 – 7 French.

Section 2. Clinical Data
Summary of GLP Study of the CorPath GRX System
Background
The safety and technical efficacy of the CorPath GRX System to manipulate coronary guide catheters for use in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) procedures was evaluated in an animal study. The objectives of this prospective non-randomized controlled study were to:
Demonstrate, by histological examination, the safety of CorPath GRX System to manipulate coronary guide catheters used in PCI compared to manual PCI;
Characterize 1) the ease of use and operational performance of the CorPath GRX System using pre-specified scoring criteria to obtain a subjective assessment from the operator, and 2) intra-procedural parameters.
Twelve pigs underwent PCI (balloon angioplasty and stent deployment) of the mid left anterior descending artery (LAD) performed either by manual PCI (M-PCI) or by robotic PCI (R-PCI) with the CorPath GRX System. Six animals each were enrolled into one of two groups, a 24 hour and 30-day survival group. In each time point cohort, four animals were treated with R-PCI and two animals were treated M-PCI.
In addition, the operator provided feedback on five variables comparing the CorPath GRX System to the operator’s experience with the traditional manual approach. The five variables assessed were ability to: (1)
maintain guide catheter position while advancing devices; (2) adjust guide catheter orientation to obtain coaxial alignment; (3) deep-seat the guide catheter to increase backup support; (4) withdraw guide catheter to avoid coronary occlusion; and (5) redirect the guide catheter to selectively engage the LAD.
Histologic sections were evaluated for endothelial loss, surface thrombi, adherent platelets/fibrin, vessel wall injury, hemorrhage, inflammation, and calcification.
Results
None of the twelve animals experienced any significant pre-, intra-, or post-operative adverse events, and balloon angioplasty and stent deployment were successfully performed in all cases. In addition, all eight robotic cases were successfully completed with the CorPath GRX System without conversion to manual operation. All animals recovered from the procedure and survived to the pre-defined time of sacrifice.
Conclusions
No major events such as death, artery perforation, or thrombosis occurred during any PCI. Operator feedback on procedural system performance was rated equivalent to or better than manual intervention in all robotically treated animals. X-ray time and contrast volume used was similar in both groups with no statistically significant differences between R-PCI and M-PCI. Interventional procedure time for the M-PCI group was shorter when compared to R-PCI, although the mean difference of less than four minutes would not be considered clinically meaningful. There were no in-life or clinical pathology changes suggestive of health abnormalities or possible adverse effects of the PCI procedure. There were no abnormal gross necropsy findings related to the test articles or implant sites. By histopathologic assessment, one guidewire

10 injury was seen in the left coronary cusp of a 24-hour R-PCI animal; this was not identified during the initial PCI procedure, and no filling anomalies or other findings were visible upon review of the angiography. Otherwise injury related to the PCI procedure was minimal across all animals at both time points. No differences were seen in semi-quantified scored parameters between CorPath GRX or Manual PCI methods at either time point.
PRECISE Study of the CorPath 200 System
The CorPath 200 System was evaluated in the PRECISE Clinical Study. The PRECISE Clinical Study was a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, nonrandomized study of the CorPath 200 System. The objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath 200 System in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon devices for use in PCI procedures. One hundred and sixty-four (164) subjects were enrolled and evaluated in the PRECISE Clinical Study at nine (9) clinical sites. The overall rate of clinical procedural success was 97.6%. One hundred percent of subjects achieved post-procedure stenosis of less than 30% (as evaluated by a Core Laboratory) and 97.6% of subjects had an absence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE). The overall device technical success rate was 98.8%. Although there were some limitations with the collection of operator radiation exposure data, the PRECISE trial results show a reduction in radiation exposure to the primary operator For Tables 1 to 6 listed below, the PRECISE clinical study utilized the following study definitions:
*ITT (Intent to Treat Population): consists of all subjects for whom the guidewire insertion using the CorPath 200 System was attempted, including the roll-in subjects. **MITT (Modified Intent to Treat Population): is identified as a subset of the ITT population with exclusion of the roll-in subjects (first 3 subjects of each investigator). **PP (Per-Protocol Population): is identified as a subset of the MITT population and consists of subjects who complete the study without any major protocol deviations.

PRECISE Clinical Trial: Conversion to Manual PCI
There were two cases (1.2%) of conversion from CorPath PCI to a manual PCI. In both instances the conversion to manual process went very quickly and smoothly and did not compromise subject’s safety.
They are summarized as follows:
Case 1 A stent catheter was blocked from advancing by the structure (one of the struts wasn’t fully open) of
the old previous deployed stent in the proximal RCA. The procedure was converted to manual PCI due to the complexity of the procedure. The manual procedure was successfully completed and final angiography revealed good results with no residual stenosis and TIMI 3 flow distally.
Case 2 Using the CorPath system a guidewire and pre-dilatation balloon were successfully delivered but two attempted to advance the stent catheter were met with resistance in the proximal part of the RCA with the
push-back of the guide catheter. A second pre-dilatation balloon was introduced and deployed leading to a linear dissection that was not flow-limiting. At this point the procedure was converted to manual operation with 3 stents successfully placed with excellent final angiogram with TIMI 3 flow. Patient was asymptomatic
at the end of the procedure, with no ECG changes. There were no myocardial enzyme elevations after the procedure including the next day.

20 Section 4. Software Description The CorPath GRX System software is designed to operate with parameters proven to execute manipulation
of guide catheters, guidewires, and balloon/stent catheters. The software offers the option for continuous motion or discrete step movement of devices. It also continuously monitors the joystick positions and interprets the inputs for minimum and maximum speeds.
The system includes several important features that ensure operation and optimal safety for the patient:
Distinct audible tones sound an alert when the guide catheter, guidewire and/or balloon/stent catheter are
moving. As the speed is increased, the tones become more rapid. If the joystick is deactivated and the
operator moves it, an audible alert will sound.
The touch screens convey useful guidance and information to the operator.
The software will disable the touch screen and joysticks if the Control Console is not accessed within two (2)
minutes. Any faults, warnings, or cautions that occur in the system are reported and displayed on the
Touchscreen. The system also produces an audible tone to alert the operator.
The software prevents the ability to perform motions using the joystick(s) and the Touchscreen
simultaneously.
Faults disable the system. If there is a failure in the software, the system will disable all controls and shut
down the motor actuators.
The software confirms the communication between the Robotic Drive and the Control Console.
Either of the Emergency Stop (E-stop) buttons will deactivate the controls and motors when pressed,
removing power to all aspects of the bedside unit except the bedside screen display.

If the joystick moves back (toward operator), the guide catheter, guidewire or balloon/stent retracts. The farther the joystick is moved forward or back, the greater speed of advancement or retraction. During joystick movement of the balloon/stent catheter, guidewire, or guide catheter, the system
provides distinct audible sounds for each device. The Control Console Touchscreen will illuminate the panel for the device being operated via joystick. The guide catheter can be advanced or retracted at a maximum speed of 24 mm per second.
The guidewire and balloon/stent advance or retract at a maximum speed of 12mm per second in coronaries.
When moving the guidewire and balloon/stent catheter outside coronaries, operator may increase the
guidewire or balloon/stent catheter speed to a maximum of 60 mm per second by pressing and holding Turbo Button while joystick is engaged.
Warning: The Turbo function should not be used when guidewire or balloon/stent catheter is intra-arterial. The Turbo function must only be used when guidewire and balloon/stent catheter are in guide catheter.
Caution: Moving the guide catheter forward or backward will move, as a single unit, the Robotic Drive and
any guidewires or balloon/stent catheters loaded on Single-use Cassette.
To maintain the guidewire and balloon/stent catheter in place while moving the guide catheter, user may move guidewire and balloon/stent catheter joysticks in opposite direction as guide catheter joystick.
Caution: When operator moves joystick forward to advance guide catheter, Robotic Drive moves towards patient. A sensor on the distal end of Robotic Drive detects the presence of an obstacle in the path of the Robotic Drive and notifies user. Ensure area between Robotic Drive and patient is clear, and monitor access
site during procedure.

32 Rotating Guidewire and Guide Catheter:
In addition to advance/retract function, joysticks for guide catheter and guidewire have rotational control.
To rotate guide catheter or guidewire in a clockwise direction, turn joystick clockwise. To rotate guide
catheter or guidewire in a counterclockwise direction, turn joystick counterclockwise. (See Figure 7-5)
The further the operator turns the joystick knob, the more rapidly the guide catheter or guidewire rotates.
Guide catheter or guidewire will continue to rotate as long as operator holds joystick knob in place.
Rotation and advance/retract functions may be used simultaneously.
Figure 7-5: Guidewire & Guide Catheter Joystick Rotational Function
Caution: Similar to manual rotation, continuous rotation of guide catheter in same direction can result in torque build-up at the distal end of the guide catheter. Monitor guide catheter on fluoroscopy and Guide Catheter Rotation Indicator on Control Console screen. User has option to relieve potential torque build-up by rotating guide catheter in opposite direction.
Guidewire and guide catheter can be rotated slow to fast, counterclockwise or clockwise

36 G. Guide Catheter Indicators
Figure 7-9: Guide Catheter Linear Travel Indicator
The CorPath GRX system allows for a guide catheter linear travel of up to 200 mm. When the Y-Connector is
loaded onto the Robotic Drive at the Robotic Drive’s central position, the guide catheter can be robotically
advanced up to 100 mm and retracted up to 100 mm. The green bar depicts the location of the distal end of
the guide catheter within the robotic travel range. If green bar is inside yellow zone at the top of the ruler,
less than 10 mm of linear distance remains to advance the guide catheter. If green bar is inside yellow zone
at the bottom of the ruler, less than 10mm of linear distance to retract the guide catheter. (See Figure 7-9)
Figure 7-10: Guide Catheter Rotation Indicator
The rotation indicator window displays the first 999 degrees of guide catheter rotation. “+” is clockwise, “-”
is counterclockwise. Touching “Reset” button sets indicator to “0”. (See Figure 7-10)

37 The arrow indicates direction the guide catheter is being rotated by operator. Color of rotation graphic will
brighten after one, two, and three revolutions in a single direction.
Note: The maximum rotational is 90 degrees per second or 4 seconds per revolution.
Note: The distinct audio beep for guide rotation will have one beep each 15 degrees or 24 beeps for a full
revolution.
Similar to manual manipulation of the guide catheter the physician must exercise care to maintain their
normal clinical judgment while manipulating the Guide Catheter with the CorPath GRX system. If the guide
catheter joystick is advanced, retracted or rotated, it will correspondingly move at the proximal end and the
physician must continuously visually watch the display to ensure the appropriate distal end reaction.
H. CorPath Measurement Function
Figure 7-11: Measuring Distance
The measurement feature may be useful for determining the linear distance between two points. To use this function, use a device marker. Examples of device markers include proximal end or transition point on a radiopaque wire tip or a balloon catheter.
1. Using the guidewire or balloon/stent joystick or the discreet controls, advance marker at least 10 mm distal to the distal edge of segment to be measured.
2. Pull back the marker until it is at distal edge of segment, so that marker is at site where measurement will begin. (See Figure 7-11)
3. Touch the “Reset” button on the Touchscreen for appropriate device (either guidewire or balloon/stent); it will register “0.0”. (See Figure 7-12)
4. Begin the measurement by retracting the guidewire or balloon/stent catheter to desired location. When marker is at proximal edge, watch for length on measurement display. Measurement Indicator will display distance traveled in millimeters. (See Figure 7-12)

42 When positioning the Extended Reach Arm for a procedure, in rare situations (for example, when
positioning the product for left-side access in tall patients), a notification may appear on the Bedside
Touchscreen: (See Figure 7-19)
Figure 7-19: Minimum Arm Angle
This notification indicates that the system has detected that the Friction Joint is at an angle below 80
degrees. A minimum of 80 degrees is required to ensure that when the user moves the Robotic Drive to
retract the guide catheter, the Robotic Drive will not interfere with the Extended Reach Arm. The arm
should be slid on the bed rail as indicated on Figure 7-19 to allow the angle to widen. To move Extended
Reach Arm on bedrail, press Rail Clamp Release Lever and slide arm. The notification on the Bedside
Touchscreen will disappear as soon as the Friction Joint is repositioned at or beyond the minimum 80
degree angle.
Once the Extended Reach Arm has been positioned in place for the case, the user has the option to fine
tune the location of the Robotic Drive if desired. The Fine-tune Controls (See Figure 7-20) allow the user to
move the Robotic Drive up to 25mm in either direction without repositioning the Extended Reach Arm.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be separated from the CorPath GRX System by no less than the recommended separation distances calculated/listed below: D = 1.2 √ P D = 1.2 √ P 80 to 800MHz D = 2.4 √ P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz Where P is the maximum power rating in watts and D is the recommended separation distance in meters. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance levels (V1 and E1). Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment containing a transmitter.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the higher frequency range applies. Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radios, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If measured field strength in location in which the CorPath GRX System is used exceeds applicable RF compliance level above, the CorPath GRX System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the CorPath GRX System. Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
