Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of vascular procedures is the Acufex Suretac PAC catheter specifically designed for, and how does it work in those settings?
The Acufex Suretac PAC is designed for interventional radiology procedures where embolic agents need to be delivered to specific vascular targets. Its primary use is to occlude blood flow to lesions like uterine fibroids, helping to reduce their size by cutting off their blood supply. The catheter is inserted into the vascular system and guides embolic materials directly to the target area, ensuring precise delivery for effective treatment.
Is the Acufex Suretac PAC catheter reusable, or is it intended for single-use only? How does this affect its clinical use?
The Acufex Suretac PAC is explicitly intended for single-use only in controlled clinical settings. This design choice ensures sterility and safety, as reuse could compromise integrity and introduce infection risks. Clinicians must adhere to single-use protocols to maintain compliance with regulatory standards and patient safety.
How is the Acufex Suretac PAC catheter supplied, and what should clinicians consider when handling or storing it?
The device is supplied sterile by the manufacturer, which means it is pre-packaged and ready for immediate clinical use without additional sterilization. Clinicians should store it in a clean, dry environment, protected from extreme temperatures or physical damage, to preserve sterility and functionality until use. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for unpacking and handling to avoid contamination.
What regulatory pathway does the Acufex Suretac PAC follow, and what does this mean for its use in clinical practice?
The Acufex Suretac PAC was cleared through the FDA 510(k) process (K930538) under the Orthopedic advisory committee (OR) and classified as a Class II device with a product code of JDR (Embolization Catheter). This means it is considered substantially equivalent to a predicate device and adheres to traditional premarket notification requirements. Clinicians can rely on this clearance for its intended use in embolization procedures, though they should always verify current regulatory status before use.
