Device Description
The Tendyne
TM
Mitral Valve System consists of the
Tendyne Mitral Valve with Apical Pad and a Tendyne
Mitral Valve Delivery System that facilitates placement
of the valve.
1.1. Tendyne
TM
Mitral Valve with Apical Pad
The Tendyne Mitral Valve is a bioprosthesis intended for
transapical implantation within the native mitral valve.
The valve includes two (2) parts; a porcine pericardial
bioprosthetic valve and an Apical Pad (connected by a
braided tether, Figure 1). The valve has three (3) porcine
pericardial tissue leaflets sewn onto a circular, self-
expanding frame made of nitinol. The inner frame is
sewn inside a self-expanding nitinol outer frame. The
outer frame helps orient the prosthesis inside the native
mitral valve. There is a radiopaque marker at A1 that
can be visualized under fluoroscopy to confirm
orientation of the valve. The outer-frame cuff is raised
along the anterior aspect and is referred to as the A2
region. The valve is designed for radial orientation such
that the anterior aspect of the cuff rests upon the
aortomitral continuity. This orientation aligns the cuff
with the anterior portion of the native mitral valve.
The frame is covered with a PET (polyethylene
terephthalate) fabric cuff that provides the sealing
surface within the native annulus. The self-expanding
prosthesis is connected to a braided fiber tether made
of polyethylene, intended to stabilize the valve by
passing through the left ventricular myocardium near
the apex, where it is fastened to an Apical Pad on the
epicardium.
Figure 1. Tendyne
TM
Mitral Valve with Apical Pad
The valve is fully repositionable and retrievable
intraoperatively. Repositioning allows optimization of
the valve position following deployment, and retrieval
allows use of an alternative valve size if the initial valve
does not perform adequately.
The Tendyne valve is available in several sizes, as listed
in Table 1, to accommodate differing cardiac anatomies.
Two (2) sealing heights are available: Standard Profile
designated by “SP” or Low Profile, designated by “LP”.
The SP valve has an effective orifice area (EOA) of
approximately 3.0 cm
2
. The LP valve has an EOA of
approximately 2.2 cm
2
. The LP valve is designed to
accommodate patients with smaller native annulus
dimensions and to reduce left ventricular outflow tract
(LVOT) obstruction. The valve size should be selected to
provide proper fit for paravalvular sealing, device
stability and LVOT area. Standard imaging techniques
should be used to assess the native mitral valve
dimensions and left ventricular dimensions for valve
sizing. Refer to Section 11 for Patient Selection and
Treatment.
IFU, TENDYNE
TM
Mitral Valve System
Page 7 of 284
The Apical Pad is available in a large and a small size. It is
comprised of a PEEK (polyether ether ketone) button
covered by a double velour polyester (PET) fabric. The
nitinol leader and tether are threaded through the
Apical Pad to affix the pad to the epicardial surface of
the heart near the apex. The cam portion of the PEEK
button is moveable to lock and unlock the Apical Pad to
the tether.

4. Warnings and Precautions
4.1. Warnings
The valve implant procedure should only be performed
where emergency mitral valve surgery can be
performed promptly.
All sterile supplied products are for single use only. Do
not reuse, reprocess, or re-sterilize components that are
provided sterile. Reuse, reprocessing, or re-sterilization
of these components may compromise the structural
integrity of the device and/or create a risk of
contamination of the device, which could result in
patient injury, illness, or death.
Care should be exercised in patients with
hypersensitivities or allergies to aldehyde, silicone,
polymeric materials and/or contrast.
Inspect all product prior to use. Do not use the valve or
any component of the System if the seal or sterile
barrier is compromised or if the product has been
dropped, damaged, or mishandled in any way.
Do not use if the ‘USE BY’ date specified on the package
has elapsed.
Do not manipulate or handle the valve with sharp or
pointed objects.
If a valve is inserted into a patient and then retrieved, it
may not be reused. Do not attempt to reload it on the
same or any other Delivery System.
Failure to properly clean and/or re-sterilize the reusable
stand and reusable weight prior to use may result in
infections, user injury, or patient injury.
The Collapsible Dilator is coated with a hydrophilic
coating at the distal end of the device for a length of 8.0
centimeters. Please refer to Section 10.5 for further
information on how to prepare and use this device to
ensure it performs as intended. Failure to abide by the
warnings in this labeling might result in damage to the
device coating, which may necessitate intervention or
result in serious adverse events.
4.2. Pre-implantation Precautions
Pre-procedural planning, including transesophageal
echocardiography and contrast-enhanced cardiac CT,
should be performed to evaluate anatomic compatibility
with the Tendyne prosthesis.
The safety and performance of the Tendyne system has
not been established for patients with coronary artery
disease requiring intervention, severe tricuspid
regurgitation, tricuspid valve disease requiring surgery,
severe right ventricular dysfunction, or hypertrophic or
restrictive cardiomyopathy.
Do not use the valve if there is any damage to the
container (e.g., cracked jar or lid, leakage, broken or
missing seals). Do not use the valve if the container is
leaking or if the glutaraldehyde storage solution does
not completely cover the valve.
Do not freeze or expose to extreme heat. Check the
temperature indicator prior to use. Do not use if the
temperature indicator identifies exposure to a high or
low temperature.
The valve and the glutaraldehyde storage solution are
sterile. The outside of the valve container is non-sterile
and must not be placed in the sterile field.
Exposure to glutaraldehyde may cause irritation of the
skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Avoid prolonged or
repeated exposure to the vapors. Use only with
IFU, TENDYNE
TM
Mitral Valve System
Page 11 of 284
adequate ventilation. If skin contact occurs, immediately
flush the affected area with water. In the event of eye
contact, flush with water and seek medical attention
immediately. For more information about
glutaraldehyde exposure, request a Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) from Abbott.
Do not use the valve without thoroughly rinsing it, as
directed. Adequate rinsing of the valve with sterile
heparinized saline is mandatory before implantation
(see instructions in Section 10.3).
During rinsing, do not touch the leaflets or squeeze the
valve.
Do not expose the valve to solutions other than the
storage and rinse solutions.
Do not add antibiotics or any other substance (other
than heparin) to either the storage or rinse solutions.
Do not allow the valve to dry. Maintain tissue hydration
with irrigation or immersion.
If a valve is damaged during loading, do not use or
attempt to repair.
Failure to properly clean and dry the reusable stand and
reusable weight may lead to a reduction in device life.
Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, pipe cleaners, or
abrasive detergents. Do not use saline to clean or soak
the device. Do not use chlorine bleach.
4.3. Implantation Precautions
The valve is to be used in conjunction with the Tendyne
Delivery and Retrieval Systems only.
Do not introduce air into the System. Ensure that the
components remain free of air by flushing with sterile
saline.
Do not deform the valve more than what is necessary
for loading and implantation.
Do not use Delivery System or Retrieval System
components if they have been dropped, damaged, or
mishandled in any way.
5. Magnetic Resonance (MR) Safety
5.1. MR Conditional
Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that the valve can
be scanned safely under the following conditions:
Static magnetic field of 1.5-Tesla (1.5 T) or 3-Tesla (3 T)
Maximum spatial gradient field of 4,000 G/cm
(40.00 T/m)
Maximum MR System reported, whole body averaged
specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2.0 W/kg (Normal
Operating Mode).
5.2. Radio Frequency (RF) Heating
Under the scan conditions defined in Section 5, the
valve is expected to produce a maximum temperature
rise of <7.5°C after 15 minutes of continuous scanning.
This level of heating is not expected to be associated
with any adverse physiological effect considering the
heat dissipation caused by the blood flow at the
mitral valve.
CAUTION: The RF heating behavior does not scale with
static field strength. Devices that do not exhibit
detectable heating at one field strength may exhibit
high values of localized heating at another field
strength.
5.3. MR Artifact
In non-clinical testing, the image artifact caused by the
device extends approximately 0.9 cm from the valve
when imaged with a gradient-echo pulse sequence in a
3 T MRI System.
Limitations
A chest condition preventing transapical access
7. Potential Adverse Events

1. On a table within the sterile field, prepare
three (3) sterile basins for rinsing the valve,
each with 600 800 mL of sterile heparinized
saline (1000 units/L).
CAUTION: Do not add any other solutions,
drugs, chemicals, or antibiotics to the rinse
solution, as irreparable damage to the leaflet
tissue, which may not be apparent under visual
inspection, may result.
2. Fully immerse the valve in the heparinized
saline solution in the first basin and rinse the
valve for two (2) minutes.
3. Use a 20-35 mL syringe to perform a 20 mL
flush of each of the three (3) leaflet pockets to
remove residual glutaraldehyde.
CAUTION: Do not touch the leaflets or squeeze
the valve during rinsing.
4. Transfer the valve to the second basin and
rinse the valve for a second time for two (2)
minutes.
5. Perform another 20 mL flush of each of the
three (3) leaflet pockets.
6. Transfer the valve to the third basin and rinse
the valve for a third time for two (2) minutes.
7. Perform another 20 mL flush of each of the
three (3) leaflet pockets.
8. Flush the braided tether thoroughly to remove
residual glutaraldehyde.
9. Insert the tether leader into the Tuohy-Borst
valve on the tether flushing assembly until the
end abuts the valve stem. Close the Tuohy-
Borst valve.
10. Attach a 20-35 mL syringe to the Y-connector
and aspirate the air from the tether.
11. Perform a forward and backward flush of the
tether three (3) times or until no air bubbles
are identified exiting the tether flushing
assembly. Loosen Tuohy-Borst valve and
remove the tether and leader from the tether
flushing assembly.
12. After rinsing, leave the valve fully immersed in
the third basin until it is ready to be loaded.
CAUTION: The valve should be kept hydrated
throughout the rest of the preparation
procedure to prevent the tissue from drying.
WARNING: Throughout preparation of the
components, remove air using syringes, stopcocks, and
flushing with positive pressure saline as needed. It is
imperative that all components be purged of air to
prevent introducing air emboli into the heart.

wire. With wire in the left ventricle, remove
introducer needle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to re-insert a
partially or completely withdrawn needle.
4. Insert an 8F sheath into the left ventricle and
remove dilator. Insert a balloon tip catheter
over the wire and through the sheath into the
left ventricle. Using the inflated balloon,
establish an entanglement free pathway from
the ventricular access site to the left atrium
leading with the inflated balloon tip catheter.
5. Advance the guide wire across the mitral valve
and into the left atrium. Deflate the balloon
and remove the balloon tipped catheter from
the sheath off the wire. Remove the sheath
from the heart and off the wire. Maintain wire
position in the left atrium.

2. Insert the collapsible dilator and sheath
through the myocardium over the 0.035”
(0.89 mm) guide wire.
3. Advance the Delivery Handle using
echocardiography and fluoroscopy guidance to
maintain proper trajectory and to confirm final
sheath depth is above the mitral annulus.
CAUTION: Maintain end of sheath
approximately 1 centimeter (cm) above mitral
annulus to ensure device does not interact with
atrial wall.
4. Deflate the collapsible dilator for at least
5 seconds and remove. If resistance is
encountered, confirm the dilator has fully
deflated. Remove the 0.035” guidewire from
the heart through the hemostasis valve.
5. Stop the flush and evacuate air from the
sheath through the hemostasis adapter side
port.
6. Restart flush.
7. Rotate the Delivery Push Knob Knob 1 on the
Delivery Handle in the direction indicated by
the arrows to push the valve out of the Loading
Tube into the sheath.

direction indicated by the arrows to retract the
sheath and initiate valve deployment.
CAUTION: Ensure that Delivery Push Knob
Knob 1 does not rotate.
10.11. Orienting the Valve
1. Ensure that the valve is at the level of the
mitral annulus and that the cuff has been
deployed a sufficient amount to correctly
identify the orientation of the valve A2 cuff.
2. Confirm with echocardiography that the valve
is oriented correctly, ensuring that the raised
anterior aspect (straight segment of the valve)
is radially oriented toward the aortomitral
continuity.
Fluoroscopy may also be used to confirm
orientation, using pre- determined projection
angles from pre-operative CT scan and properly
aligning the A1 radiopaque marker on the
valve.
3. Continue to rotate Sheath Retraction Knob -
Knob 3 in the direction of the arrow until a
hard stop.
4. Rotate Delivery Push Knob Knob 1 in the
direction opposite the indicator arrow one-half
turn to deploy the valve fully.
5. If the valve needs to be repositioned, use the
Delivery Handle to recapture the valve stem
and nitinol struts by rotating the Sheath
Retraction Knob - Knob 3 in the direction of the
indicator arrows.
CAUTION: Confirm native leaflets are not
captured between the sheath and valve.
6. Once recaptured, push the valve into the left
atrium, reorient radially as needed, re-orient
axially within the annulus and redeploy by
