Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
Is the Wiltek Standard Cholangiography Catheter designed for reuse in clinical settings, or is it intended for single-use only?
The Wiltek Standard Cholangiography Catheter is explicitly designed for single-use in clinical settings like endoscopy or fluoroscopy. It is supplied sterile and packaged for one-time use only, as stated in the device description.
What types of procedures is this catheter primarily used for, and how does it assist in diagnosis?
This catheter is intended for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the biliary system, such as cholangiography. It facilitates visualization of the bile ducts by allowing contrast injection, which helps identify obstructions, strictures, or other pathologies during procedures like ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography).
How is the catheter packaged and stored, and what should clinicians consider before use?
The catheter is supplied sterile and pre-packaged for single-use, meaning it does not require additional sterilization before use. Clinicians should ensure the packaging remains intact and unopened before use, as it is not designed for reuse or reprocessing. Storage conditions are not specified, but standard sterile medical device storage practices should be followed.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this catheter, and what does that mean for its use?
The Wiltek Standard Cholangiography Catheter received FDA 510(k) clearance (K912288) under regulation number 876.5010, which means it was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device already on the market. This clearance indicates it meets FDA safety and effectiveness standards for its intended use in biliary duct procedures, but it does not imply any specific clinical indication beyond what is described in the device data.
