Figure 1. EKOS Endovascular System (Power Cord Not Shown) Contents One (1) Control Unit One (1) Power Cord One (1) Connector Interface Cable EKOS Device The EKOS Endovascular Device and the EkoSonic Endovascular Device are interchangeable names for the same device and from henceforth will be referred to as the EKOS Device. The EKOS Device is a single-use sterile device, consisting of a multi-lumen Infusion Catheter and an Ultrasonic Core that contains multiple transducers. The Infusion Catheter delivers the specified solutions to the target area while the transducers simultaneously deliver ultrasound therapy to the same location. See the EKOS Device Instructions for Use to get detailed information on preparation and placement of the EKOS Device. The instructions for use packaged with the EKOS Device may still reference both Control System 4.0 and the previous EKOS Control System (PT-3B). All EKOS Devices will function as intended whether connected to a Control System 4.0 or PT-3B Control System. EKOS Control System 4.0 The EKOS Control System 4.0 includes a portable Control Unit and reusable Connector Interface Cables. The Control Unit has two ports or channels for Connector Interface Cable connections. The channels are labeled A and B and can provide energy for up to two devices at the same time. The Control Unit should be connected to AC power during operation but has an internal lithium-ion battery to power the Control Unit temporarily during patient transport.

Black (K) ∆E ≤5.0
The Control Unit provides electrical energy to the transducers of the Ultrasonic Core and monitors the device temperature during ultrasound therapy. The temperature data is used to automatically optimize ultrasound therapy to the treatment area. The Control Unit also allows the operator to monitor, control and troubleshoot operation of the device. The ultrasound therapy delivered during operation disperses the solutions delivered into the treatment area via the Infusion Catheter. The solutions are controlled by user supplied infusion pumps or syringes. Precaution: This document provides instructions for operating the Control Unit, as well as configuration, maintenance and troubleshooting information. It is important that all persons using the Control Unit read and understand all the information contained in these instructions prior to use. Operating Principle The EKOS Endovascular System generates ultrasonic waves at the Infusion Catheter treatment zone through the piezoelectric transduction of radio-frequency (RF) energy generated by the Control Unit. The ultrasound emanates radially from the treatment zone into and through blood, thrombus, or tissue surrounding the treatment zone, within the patient’s vasculature. The ultrasound acts locally to increase the dispersion of the delivered solutions into the treatment region. In addition to generating the prescribed ultrasound therapy profile, the Control Unit continually monitors output power and temperature of the EKOS Device. The system has safeguards to prevent deviation of these parameters from preset ranges. Overview This section provides a basic orientation to the Control Unit controls, components, connectors and screens. The Control Unit is comprised of a single display with an integrated touch screen and a set of hard controls. The display/touch screen and the hard controls are configured to operate up to two EKOS Devices. These devices can deliver ultrasound therapy simultaneously, yet are controlled independently.

Note: The following warning and precaution statements provide important information for safe operation of the Control Unit. Observe all warnings and precautions provided in these Instructions for Use. Failure to do so may result in patient injury, operator injury or product damage. WARNINGS • Do not operate the Control Unit in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents. Using the unit in such environments could result in a fire or explosion. • Do not place the Control Unit, Connector Interface Cable and/or Control Unit power cord in the presence of high magnetic fields created by a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device. The high magnetic field generated by an MRI device can attract the equipment with a force sufficient to cause death or serious personal injury to persons between the equipment and the MRI device. This magnetic attraction could result in damage and affect the performance of the equipment. • This equipment/system is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. This equipment/system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the Control Unit or shielding the location. • During normal use, ultrasound energy may cause a temperature rise in the treatment zone. There are temperature sensors in the EKOS Device. The EKOS Control Unit monitors and controls the device temperature to limit the device temperature to a maximum of 43 °C. • Connect the Control Unit only to a properly grounded hospital-grade outlet using the specified power cord. Use of a non-hospitalgrade outlet could result in electric shock or burn. Use of a non-specified power cord could result in increased electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions or decreased immunity to EMI from other sources. • Never transmit output power (ultrasound therapy ON) from the Control Unit to the EKOS Device unless it is placed within the patient anatomy, solution is running through the drug lumen, and coolant is flowing through the coolant lumen. Always turn OFF the ultrasound before removing the Ultrasonic Core from the Infusion Catheter, otherwise, overheating of the device may occur, potentially causing damage to the device, burns and/or interruption of therapy. If the device is damaged in this manner and then used to continue therapy, vascular injury or burns could occur. • Avoid spilling fluids on the cables and Control Unit. Do not immerse any portion of the cables or Control Unit in water or other fluids as this may cause the equipment to perform inaccurately or fail, which could result in vascular injury, electric shock or fire. • The Control Unit is designed for use with the EKOS Device, approved cables and electronic devices. Do not connect non-EKOS devices, cables (e.g., power cord) or electronic equipment to the Control Unit. Use of non-approved devices, cables and electronic equipment could result in electric shock or burn, increased electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions, decreased immunity to EMI from other sources, or delay of therapy. • The reusable Connector Interface Cable and Control Unit are NOT STERILE. Use caution if maintaining a sterile operating field after connecting to the EKOS Device. Failure to do so could result in patient infection. • Inspect all connectors, cables and the Control Unit for damage prior to use. If damaged (e.g., exposed wires), do not use and replace immediately. • Ensure all connectors are dry before connecting the Connector Interface Cable to the Control Unit or the Connector Interface Cable to the EKOS Device. If connectors do become wet, thoroughly dry prior to use. Fluid in the connectors may affect sensor accuracy and result in vascular injury. • Connect system cables only to their proper connectors as marked and ensure connections are secure. Failure to do so could result in electric shock or burn. • Secure device cables and the Connector Interface Cable using standard practices to preserve the integrity of the device, minimize device movement at the insertion site, and prevent device dislodgement. If the Connector Interface Cable is dropped, it has sufficient weight to pull on the device and possibly dislodge it from where it has been inserted into the patient. • The Control Unit should be placed on a flat table or attached to the EKOS CU 4.0 Cart or an infusion stand during use. If attached to an infusion stand adhere to the following guidelines (see Attaching the Control Unit to an Infusion Stand Section): • Always use an infusion stand that meets the specifications in these Instructions for Use. • Follow the mounting instructions described in these Instructions for Use to ensure the Control Unit is securely attached to the infusion stand. • Attach the Control Unit to a position on the infusion stand such that the combined weight of the infusion pumps and Control Unit is as low as practical. • When transporting the infusion stand or CU 4.0 Cart, hold the pole in the middle or use the handle if available to ensure the best control.

PRECAUTIONS • The Control Unit is designed to be operated by medical personnel who have knowledge of endovascular interventional procedures and who are responsible for direct patient care in the areas of the hospital where the unit is used. Optional in-service training from an authorized EKOS or Boston Scientific trainer is available. • This document provides instructions for operating the Control Unit, as well as configuration, maintenance and troubleshooting information. It is important that all persons using the Control Unit read and understand all the information contained in these instructions prior to use. • During use, the Control Unit should remain plugged into a hospital-grade outlet. The battery is only intended to power the Control Unit for patient transport. It is recommended that prior to transport the battery level be checked to ensure it is adequate. Failure to plug in the AC power after transport could result in the Control Unit turning OFF and delay of ultrasound therapy. • After each use, the Control Unit should be plugged into a hospital-grade outlet to ensure the battery is recharged fully. Failure to plug in the AC power after use could result in the battery not being fully charged and delay of ultrasound therapy. • When using the Control Unit, the ultrasound will not start or will automatically shut off if certain conditions occur. An alert is presented on the display and must be resolved before the ultrasound can be restarted. Some of the conditions are: • Connector Interface Cable disconnected. • EKOS Device temperature is above the maximum limit. • Ultrasonic Core and Infusion Catheter are incompatible. • Blocking the ventilation of the Control Unit so that the Control Unit becomes too hot. During use, the Control Unit should be monitored for alerts. Failure to resolve the issue could result in delay of ultrasound therapy. • When using the Control Unit, care should be taken to optimize the display brightness and volume level for the use environment. Failure to optimize could cause audible and visual information to be missed resulting in delay of ultrasound therapy. • When using two EKOS Devices (one in channel A and one in channel B), care should be taken to ensure that desired actions (e.g., start ultrasound, stop ultrasound, connect cables, disconnect cables, respond to an alert message) are performed on the correct channel(s) or device(s).

Failure to follow these guidelines could result in the infusion stand tipping or equipment falling, resulting in bodily injury. Always use the handle when carrying the Control Unit. Failure to do so could cause the Control Unit to be dropped resulting in bodily injury. Before transporting the patient or moving the Control Unit, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and secure the Connector Interface Cable near the patient. Pulling of the EKOS Device may cause the device to dislodge, loss of access and patient injury. The Control Unit user interface presents a historical graph of the ultrasound power delivered. The power data should not be used for diagnostic purposes. Diagnosis of drug/ultrasound therapy should always be made using other clinical diagnostic tools (e.g., fluoroscopy). An incorrect diagnosis could result in prolonged therapy or inadequate therapy. Thoroughly clean the Control Unit and Connector Interface Cable after each use. When cleaning, adhere to the following guidelines (See Cleaning the Control Unit Section): • Follow all cleaning instructions provided in these Instructions for Use. • Turn off the Control Unit and unplug it from the power source before cleaning. • Only use the recommended cleaning agents. • Do not spray cleaners directly onto the Control Unit or Connector Interface Cable. • Do not expose the Control Unit or the Connector Interface Cable to autoclaving or other sterilizers. Failure to follow these cleaning guidelines could result in infection to the patient or equipment damage. Do not disassemble or modify the Control Unit or CIC. There are no customer serviceable parts. Only the manufacturer or Boston Scientific authorized personnel should service the Control Unit and CIC. Improper disassembly of the Control Unit could result in electric shock or burn. Ensure the CIC is always exposed to an open-air environment and is never covered or placed under a blanket or exposed to venting from a warming blanket.
•
When using two EKOS Devices (one in channel A and one in channel B), care should be taken to not cross the device cables. Ensure each pair of device cables is connected to a single Connector Interface Cable. If the device cables are crossed, ultrasound is not operational and could result in delay of ultrasound therapy. • Failure to store and operate the Control Unit as specified could result in equipment failure leading to delay of ultrasound therapy (See Specifications Section). • This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices in BS EN 60601‐1‐2. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful electromagnetic interference in a typical medical installation. However, portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Use of the Control Unit with a power cord or accessory other than as specified in this Instructions for Use may result in increased electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions or decreased immunity to EMI from other sources. (See Specifications Section). This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity or be affected by interference from other devices. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined by turning this equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving device. • Increase the separation between the equipment. • Connect this equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) are connected. • Consult the manufacturer for help. If the Control Unit must be used directly adjacent to other equipment, observe the function of the Control Unit to verify normal operation in that configuration. If this equipment is adversely affected by interference from other devices, similar actions to increase the separation and isolation between the pieces of equipment should be attempted. This equipment also complies with requirements for safe operation when subjected to adverse power line conditions. If this occurs, solution delivery will continue, and the operator will be presented with an error message on the display. Resolving the error and restarting ultrasound therapy will resume normal operation. For further information about resolving error messages see the Troubleshooting Section.

Electromagnetic environment - guidance Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Control Unit, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommended separation distance d = 1.17√P
d = 1.17√P 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2.33√P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
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 radio, 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 the measured field strength in the location in which the Control Unit is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Control Unit should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Control Unit. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m. a
