Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
This device is a Prosthesis, Tracheal, Expandable, Polymeric, classified under FDA product code NYT. It is a bifurcated, expandable tracheobronchial stent designed to maintain airway patency in the trachea and mainstem bronchi. Constructed as a single-piece bifurcated tube, it is intended to stabilize the airway anatomy while addressing tracheal stenosis or sealing tracheoesophageal fistulas. The stent’s expandable design allows for adaptation to the anatomical contours of the trachea and bronchi, ensuring sustained airway support.
The Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent is supplied as a single-use, expandable polymeric prosthesis and is intended for use in clinical settings where airway obstruction or tracheoesophageal fistulas require intervention. It is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K953593) and falls under Class II device classification (878.3720). The stent’s expandable nature and polymeric construction are key features for its intended application, with no explicit MRI safety or reusable specifications noted in the regulatory data. Storage and handling follow standard sterile medical device protocols as per manufacturer guidelines.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent used for?
The Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent is a bifurcated, expandable prosthesis intended to maintain airway patency in the trachea and mainstem bronchi. It is specifically designed to address tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the airway) or to seal tracheoesophageal fistulas (abnormal connections between the trachea and esophagus). Its expandable design allows it to adapt to the anatomical contours of the airway, providing sustained support where obstruction or abnormal connections require intervention.
Is the Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent single-use or reusable?
The Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent is supplied as a single-use device. This classification ensures sterility and safety for one-time clinical use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and maintaining optimal performance for the intended procedure. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer.
What material is the stent made from, and how does it function?
The stent is constructed from a polymeric material, which provides flexibility and durability for airway support. Its expandable design allows it to be deployed and conform to the anatomical shape of the trachea and bronchi, ensuring a secure fit. This adaptability helps stabilize airway anatomy while addressing conditions like stenosis or fistulas, maintaining long-term patency.
How should the Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent be stored?
The stent should be stored according to standard sterile medical device protocols as outlined by the manufacturer. This typically involves keeping it in its original, sealed packaging in a clean, dry environment, protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and physical damage. Proper storage ensures sterility and maintains the device’s integrity until use.
Does the Rusch Tracheal Bronchial Y Stent have any specific regulatory approvals?
The device holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the reference number K953593, indicating it has been deemed substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA product code NYT, which means it is subject to special controls to ensure its safety and effectiveness for its intended use in maintaining airway patency.
