Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What clinical specialties primarily use this Balloon Catheter and Balloon Ureteral Dilator Set, and why is it relevant to those fields?
This set is primarily used in urology and gastroenterology procedures. It is designed to facilitate controlled dilation of the ureter, which is critical during interventions like ureteroscopy or stone manipulation—common procedures in urology. In gastroenterology, it may assist in related endoscopic procedures requiring ureteral access or dilation, though its primary focus remains ureteral applications.
Is this device intended for reuse, or is it meant to be used only once? How does that affect its handling?
The device is intended for single-use only, as explicitly stated in the description. This means it must be discarded after one procedure to maintain sterility and safety. Clinicians should follow standard single-use protocols, including proper disposal and avoiding reuse, to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
How do I know if the correct size or model is being used for a specific patient, and what sizes are available?
The set comes in multiple sizes and configurations, as indicated by the FEI numbers (e.g., 3006546082, 3013557562, etc.) and product codes. While exact measurements aren’t listed here, the radiopaque markers included in the set help ensure precise positioning during procedures. Always verify the selected size against the patient’s anatomy and consult the manufacturer’s guidelines or packaging for compatibility before use.
What steps should I take to ensure the device remains sterile and functional before use?
The device is supplied sterile and requires no additional preparation beyond standard aseptic techniques. Storage must follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preserve sterility and functionality. Avoid exposing the packaging to moisture, extreme temperatures, or physical damage, as these could compromise the device’s integrity before use.
What regulatory pathways does this device follow, and how does that affect its use in clinical settings?
This device is regulated under FDA 510K clearance and the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The Gastroenterology and Urology (GU) Advisory Committee reviewed its submission, confirming its classification as a Class II device under FDA regulations (device class=2). While these pathways ensure safety and efficacy, they do not alter clinical use—only the manufacturer’s instructions and standard aseptic practices apply to its application in procedures.
