Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the primary use of this balloon catheter?
This catheter is designed specifically for mechanical removal of thrombi or emboli within blood vessels. By inflating the balloon, it physically disrupts and clears blockages, restoring blood flow in cardiovascular applications like peripheral arteries or coronary vessels. It is classified under the Catheter, Embolectomy nomenclature, ensuring its intended use aligns with FDA-recognized standards for embolic interventions.
Is this device single-use or reusable?
This device is supplied as a single-use, sterile medical device. Single-use design ensures patient safety by eliminating cross-contamination risks and maintains sterility integrity for one procedure only. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer, as it could compromise device performance and regulatory compliance.
How should this catheter be stored to maintain sterility?
Storage must comply with standard sterile medical device protocols. The device should be kept in its original, unopened packaging until immediately before use. Protect it from moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical damage. Once opened, the catheter must be used promptly to preserve sterility, as prolonged exposure to air or handling could compromise its sterile field.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow?
This catheter is regulated under the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway with a Substantially Equivalent (SESE) determination (K883852). It falls under Device Class II (DXE) and adheres to FDA regulation 870.5150, which governs embolic protection and vascular devices. The clearance was granted by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for mechanical thrombus removal.
Are there multiple sizes or models available for this catheter?
The provided data does not specify individual sizes or models beyond the general classification as a balloon-type embolectomy catheter. However, the OpenFDA registration lists multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 1000138054, 3005747797), which may correspond to variations in catheter diameter, length, or balloon profile. For precise sizing details, refer to the manufacturer’s technical documentation or consult Wb Intl., Inc. directly, as these variations are critical for procedural success.
