510(k) K822033
Overview
The Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter is a diagnostic catheter designed for angiographic procedures, specifically pulmonary angiography and Balloon Occlusion Femoral Angiography (BOFA). It features a balloon component for occlusion and multiple side holes to facilitate high-flow dye injection, aiding in contrast visualization of blood vessels while minimizing complications such as arrhythmias or myocardial staining.
This device is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile catheter intended for use in interventional radiology settings. It is regulated under the FDA’s 510(k) pathway with a clearance number K822033, classified under product code DQO. The catheter is intended for use with compatible angiographic systems and requires proper sterilization and handling prior to patient use, adhering to standard medical device protocols.

Questions
What is the Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter used for?
The Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter is specifically designed for angiographic procedures, including pulmonary angiography and Balloon Occlusion Femoral Angiography (BOFA). Its balloon component allows controlled occlusion of blood vessels, while multiple side holes enable high-flow dye injection. This design improves contrast visualization of blood vessels while minimizing risks such as arrhythmias or myocardial staining.
Is the Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter single-use or reusable?
The Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter is supplied as a single-use device. This ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination and maintains device performance for one procedure only, adhering to standard medical device protocols.
How should the Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter be prepared for use?
The catheter is supplied in a non-sterile state, so it must be sterilized and handled according to standard medical device protocols prior to patient use. Proper sterilization is critical to ensure safety and efficacy during angiographic procedures.
What regulatory pathway does the Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter follow?
The Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter is cleared under the FDA’s 510(k) pathway with clearance number K822033. It was determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device and reviewed by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee.
Can this catheter be used with any angiographic system?
The Berman Angiographic Balloon Catheter is intended for use with compatible angiographic systems. Compatibility ensures optimal performance, including proper balloon inflation, dye injection, and visualization during procedures. Always verify system compatibility before use.
