What Ekos Corporation makes

Ekos Corporation manufactures ultrasound thrombolysis systems, including control units designed to facilitate the dissolution of blood clots within blood vessels. Their portfolio includes integrated endovascular systems and standalone control units, such as the EkoSonic® and EKOS PE Endovascular Device with Control System 4.0 (CS4.0), which combine mechanical and ultrasound-based thrombolysis for vascular applications.

The company’s devices are classified as Class II under regulatory frameworks, with authorisations granted through FDA 510(k) clearances and FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI) listings. These products are intended for use in endovascular procedures and are governed by the same compliance standards as other Class II medical devices in the United States.

Frequently asked questions

What types of medical devices does Ekos Corporation manufacture?

Ekos Corporation specializes in ultrasound thrombolysis systems, which are designed to help dissolve blood clots within blood vessels. Their primary product category is the ultrasound thrombolysis system control unit, often integrated with endovascular devices like the EkoSonic® or EKOS PE Endovascular Device with Control System 4.0 (CS4.0). These systems combine ultrasound energy with mechanical methods to treat vascular clots, such as those in peripheral arteries or the pulmonary embolism (PE) setting.

Where is Ekos Corporation based, and what does that mean for its regulatory oversight?

Ekos Corporation is based in the United States, which means its devices are subject to FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulatory oversight. Since the company’s products fall under Class II classification, they require pre-market clearance via the FDA’s 510(k) pathway or compliance with Unique Device Identification (UDI) requirements. This classification indicates moderate regulatory scrutiny due to the devices’ intended use in endovascular procedures, where safety and effectiveness are critical.

Which regulatory registries or databases list Ekos Corporation’s devices?

Ekos Corporation’s devices are listed in the FDA’s 510(k) clearance registry and the FDA’s Unique Device Identification (UDI) database. These registries document the pre-market clearance process and compliance with UDI requirements, ensuring traceability and transparency for healthcare providers and regulators. The inclusion in these databases reflects the company’s adherence to FDA standards for Class II medical devices.

How are Ekos Corporation’s devices classified under regulatory frameworks?

Ekos Corporation’s devices are classified as Class II under U.S. regulatory frameworks. This classification is determined by the FDA based on the risk associated with the device’s intended use—here, ultrasound thrombolysis for vascular applications. Class II devices require special controls beyond general controls (like good manufacturing practices) to ensure safety and performance, often involving pre-market notifications (510(k)) or post-market surveillance. The classification ensures these devices meet rigorous standards before entering the market.

FDA Recalls (14)

Recalls reported by this firm to the FDA. Listed at company level — FDA recall records don't identify a specific catalogue device.

Ekos Corporation has 14 FDA recall records initiated between September 21, 2004, and August 22, 2016, all marked as terminated. The recalls involve issues such as mechanical failures (e.g., missing washers on carts, dislodged radio-opaque markers, catheter disconnections), electrical malfunctions (e.g., potential burn risk, control unit recognition failures, power module defects), labeling inaccuracies (e.g., incorrect working lengths, mislabeled treatment zones), and design or assembly shortcomings (e.g., missing caution labels, non-compliant manufacturing tests, improperly installed components).

AI-generated summary of the recall records listed below. It describes what the records state and is not an assessment of this manufacturer.

DateRecall No.ClassStatusReason
Aug 22, 2016Z-2890-2016—terminated

Casters on the EKOS carts may be missing washers which can cause premature wear and dislodgement of the casters/wheels leading to failure.

Aug 9, 2016Z-2854-2016—terminated

The recalling firm identified ten devices which were distributed and could potentially be non-compliant. These devices potentially underwent a routine manufacturing test with non-compliant parameters, which may result in a small blister in the epoxy over transducers in the treatment zone. It is not known at the time the recall was initiated whether the non-compliant test parameters, or presence of the blisters, adversely affect operation of the device.

Jan 21, 2016Z-0864-2016—terminated

Jan 18, 2005Z-0175-06—terminated

Potential for a faulty thermal channel offset to be reported to the software causing faulty lower temperature values to be reported which allow a power increase.

Nov 22, 2004Z-0111-06—terminated

During two separate procedures, the user experienced difficulty placing the EKOS ultrasound core (USC) into the EKOS drug delivery catheter (DDC) when transiting tight bend radii; specifically the aortic bifurcation. In one case, the USC fractured within the DDC when the user attempted to withdraw the USC after resistance was encountered
