Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Scimed Angiographic Kits are a collection of devices classified under product code DQY, intended for use in angiographic procedures. These kits facilitate the visualization of blood vessels, particularly coronary arteries, through fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. The components within the kits are designed to ensure safe and effective catheterization during interventional radiology or cardiology procedures.
These kits are supplied as a preassembled or modular set of angiographic catheters, guidewires, and associated accessories, intended for single-use in clinical settings. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K953265) and fall under the Cardiovascular advisory committee classification. The kits are not specified as sterile or reusable in the provided data, though typical angiographic kits are generally packaged in sterile conditions for single-use applications. No additional regulatory status beyond the stated FDA clearance is implied.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What are Scimed Angiographic Kits used for?
Scimed Angiographic Kits are designed for angiographic procedures to visualize blood vessels, particularly coronary arteries, using fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging. This aids in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular conditions by enabling clear visualization during catheterization, which is essential for interventions like angioplasty or stent placement.
Are these kits supplied as a complete set or modular?
The Scimed Angiographic Kits are supplied as either preassembled or modular sets, including angiographic catheters, guidewires, and associated accessories. This flexibility allows clinicians to choose the configuration that best fits their procedural needs while ensuring all necessary components are available for safe and effective use.
Are these kits intended for single-use or reuse?
While the provided data does not explicitly state sterility or reuse status, angiographic kits of this type are typically packaged in sterile conditions for single-use applications. Single-use ensures patient safety by eliminating cross-contamination risks and maintains device performance for one procedure.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow?
The Scimed Angiographic Kits follow the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway, specifically classified under product code DQY and reviewed by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee. The clearance (K953265) was granted in 1996, confirming the device’s substantial equivalence to a predicate product for angiographic visualization in coronary procedures.
How are these kits structured in terms of components?
Each kit contains angiographic catheters, guidewires, and associated accessories tailored for coronary angiography. The modular or preassembled design ensures compatibility with fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging systems, providing clinicians with the tools needed to perform precise catheterization during interventional radiology or cardiology procedures.
