Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is a catheter, intravascular, diagnostic designed for cardiac procedures. It features a poly braided construction and a pigtail-shaped tip, optimized for percutaneous insertion into coronary arteries to facilitate angiography and interventional cardiology tasks.
The catheter is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile device (sterilized prior to use) and is classified under FDA regulation 870.1200. It is intended for use in cardiovascular settings, with a variable tip configuration to enhance maneuverability. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K912076), it was determined substantially equivalent to the predicate device in 1991.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of cardiac procedures is this catheter designed to assist with, and why is the pigtail tip shape important?
This catheter is designed specifically for angiography and interventional cardiology tasks, such as coronary artery imaging and guiding interventions. The pigtail-shaped tip enhances maneuverability within coronary arteries, allowing for precise navigation and positioning during procedures. The poly braided construction also provides added flexibility and torque control, which is critical for navigating the complex anatomy of coronary vessels.
Is this catheter intended for single-use or repeated use, and how should it be prepared before use?
This catheter is single-use only and is supplied in a non-sterile state. It must be sterilized prior to use as part of standard clinical preparation. Sterilization should follow established protocols to ensure safety and efficacy before insertion into a patient.
What does the variable tip configuration mean, and how might it benefit a clinician during a procedure?
The variable tip configuration refers to the catheter’s adaptable tip design, which allows for optimized maneuverability in different coronary artery geometries. This feature helps clinicians achieve better control and precision during angiography or interventional procedures, reducing the risk of misplacement or trauma to the vessel walls.
How should this catheter be stored, and what storage conditions are recommended?
Since this is a single-use, non-sterile device, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The packaging should remain intact until sterilization is performed prior to use. Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper handling to maintain device integrity.
