*Consult instructions for use for other therapy devices and medications for additional potential complication information. If a serious incident related to the device occurs, contact your Medtronic representative and the competent authority in your respective country/region.
Contraindictions
There are no known contraindictions
Warning
See the device manual for detailed information regarding the instructions for use, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events.
Indications for use
The Riptide™ Aspiration System is intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
Description
The Riptide™ Aspiration System is comprised of the following devices:
The Riptide™ Aspiration System is designed to remove occlusive thrombus from the cerebral vasculature using continuous aspiration. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating that spans the distal 40 cm to reduce friction during use. The catheter acts as a conduit for providing direct aspiration to the occlusion site generated by the Riptide™ Aspiration Pump. The catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or sheath and into the intracranial vasculature and guided over a neurovascular guidewire and/or microcatheter to the site of the primary occlusion. The catheter is connected to the Riptide™ Aspiration Pump through the aspiration tubing. The intermediate tubing connects the Riptide™ Collection Canister to the Riptide™ Aspiration Pump. The Riptide™ Aspiration System in this configuration may be used to aspirate thrombus from the occluded vessel.
Note: The catheter and aspiration tubing are applied parts.
Precautions
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications.
Compatibility
Introducer sheath size and maximum guidewire diameter are indicated on the product label.
Potential complications
Possible complications include, but are not limited to, the following:
Warnings
See the device manual for detailed information regarding the instructions for use, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events.

Compared to aspiration-alone and stent retriever-alone techniques, combination therapy has been shown to significantly achieve:
INSPIRE is a Post-Market Clinical Follow up study for all the market approved innovative Medtronic neurovascular devices.
More than 800 Patients have been enrolled in the INSPIRE-S registry and the Combination Technique Cohort was presented at ISC (7–9 February 2024, Phoenix, Arizona) by Dr. Marc Ribó
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
The primary effectiveness outcome is good functional outcomes as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 to 2 or return to pre-stroke mRS at 90 days post-intervention.
ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES
Final Successful Revascularization , First Pass Revascularization and Safety Outcomes
Third-party Clinical Events Committee and effectiveness oversight of follow-up imaging conducted by an independent Core Lab.
Success of mechanical thrombectomy with a single device may be influenced by:
With combination therapy, you can maximize procedural success by complementing the strengths of the stent retriever with the aspiration catheter to minimize the influence of a single variable.
See how combination therapy reduces procedural variability.

Combination therapy was found to be the most efficient method for reducing the rate of clot fragmentation for hard fragment-prone clots compared to aspiration-alone and stent retriever-alone techniques.7
Aspiration-alone was found to significantly increase the risk of soft elastic clot fragmentation by twofold compared to the stent retriever-alone technique.7
Minimize the possibility of clot disruption by combining the stent retriever with the aspiration catheter.3
With combination therapy, you can use the stent retriever as an anchor to promote smooth navigation of the aspiration catheter to reach the occlusion site, improving reliability of tracking when positioning the aspiration catheter closer to the thrombus interface.8
