Indications for Use
The NC Euphora™ RX Balloon Dilatation catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The balloon dilatation catheter is also indicated for post deployment expansion of balloon expandable stents.
Device Story
The NC Euphora RX is a rapid exchange PTCA balloon dilatation catheter used by interventional cardiologists in a clinical setting. The device consists of a catheter shaft with a distal balloon and a proximal female luer for connection to an inflation device. The operator advances the catheter over a guidewire to the target stenosis site, guided by radiopaque marker bands. The balloon is inflated to a specific pressure to dilate the artery or expand a stent, improving myocardial perfusion. The device features incremental improvements over the predicate, including lower radial growth and higher pressure ratings. It is provided sterile for single use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical investigation was performed. Evidence consists of non-clinical in-vitro bench testing (including balloon fatigue, compliance, inflation/deflation time, bond strength, and coating integrity) and non-GLP in-vivo studies for radiopacity. Biocompatibility testing was conducted per ISO 10993-1 for limited exposure (<24 hours) devices, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity, and hemocompatibility assays.
Technological Characteristics
Rapid exchange PTCA catheter; balloon diameters 2.0mm-5.0mm; lengths 6mm-27mm; nominal pressure 12atm; rated burst pressure 20atm. Features radiopaque marker bands and shaft markers. Sterilized via E-beam (ISO 11137, EN 556, TIR 33) to SAL 10^-6. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 and ASTM standards for hemocompatibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring balloon dilatation of stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts to improve myocardial perfusion, and for post-deployment expansion of balloon-expandable stents.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Standard PTCA Catheter: A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion. Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter: A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.
