Approval for the Carotid WALLSTENT® Monorail® Endoprosthesis. The device, used in conjunction with the Boston Scientific embolic protection system, is indicated for the treatment of patients at high risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy due to either anatomic or comorbid conditions who require carotid revascularization in the treatment of ipsilateral or bilateral carotid artery disease and meet the criteria outlined below:

1) Patients with neurological symptoms and > 50% stenosis of the common, internal carotid artery and/or the bifurcation by ultrasound or angiogram, or patients without neurological symptoms and > 80% stenosis of the common, internal carotid artery and/or the bifurcation by ultrasound or angiogram, and;

P050029
10/10/08
Helios II Ablation Catheter Stereotaxis, Inc.
St. Louis, MO
63108
Approval for the Helios II Ablation Catheter. The Helios II® Ablation Catheter is intended for cardiac electrophysiological mapping, delivering diagnostic pacing stimuli, and for the creation of endocardial lesions to treat patients with supraventricular (SVT) tachycardias.
It is intended to eliminate atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) in patients with overt or concealed accessory pathways, to eliminate AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), and to create complete AV nodal block in patients with difficult to control ventricular response to atrial fibrillation.
The Helios II Ablation Catheter is intended for use with the Biosense Webster Stockert 70 RF Generator via a Biosense Webster cable model C6-MR10/MSTK-S (6 foot) or C10-MR10/MSTK-S (10 foot). The Helios II Ablation Catheter is for use only with the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System (MNS) and is compatible with the Cardiodrive Catheter Advancement System (CAS).

COBAS AmpliPrep/
COBAS TaqMan HCV Test
Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.
Pleasanton, CA
95466

Approval for the COBAS
AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test. This device is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification lest for the quantitation of hepatitis C viral (HCV) RNA in human plasma or serum of HCV-infected individuals using the COBAS AmpliPrep Instrument for automated specimen processing and the COBAS TaqMan Analyzer or the COBAS TaqMan 48 Analyzer for automated amplification and detection. Specimens containing HCV genotypes 1 - 6 have been validated for quantitation in the assay. The COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test is intended for use as an aid in the management of HCV-infected individuals undergoing anti-viral therapy. The assay measures HCV RNA levels at baseline and during treatment and can be utilized to predict sustained and non-sustained virological response to HCV therapy. The results from the COBAS AmpiPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test must be interpreted within the context of all relevant clinical and laboratory findings.

Assay performance characteristics have been established for individuals treated with peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin. No information is available on the assay's predictive value when other therapies are used. Assay performance for determining the slate of HCV infection has not been established."
