Indications for Use
Balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. Balloon dilatation of a stent after implantation (balloon models 2.00mm - 4.50mm)
Device Story
Filao NC RX PTCA Dilatation Catheter is a rapid exchange (RX) catheter for coronary angioplasty. Features non-compliant inflatable balloon at distal end; atraumatic tapered tip; two radiopaque markers for positioning; hydrophilic coating for pushability. Used by interventional cardiologists in clinical settings (e.g., cath lab) to dilate stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts and post-stent expansion. Operator advances catheter over 0.014" guidewire to target site; inflates balloon to dilate stenosis/stent; deflates and removes. Improves myocardial perfusion by restoring blood flow.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included catheter dimensions, balloon profile, preparation/deployment/retraction, rated burst pressure, compliance, fatigue, inflation/deflation time, bond strengths, tip pull, flexibility, kink, torque, coating integrity, and particulate evaluation.
Technological Characteristics
Rapid exchange (RX) PTCA catheter; non-compliant balloon; hydrophilic coating; radiopaque markers. Balloon diameters 2.00mm-4.50mm; lengths 8mm-30mm. Compatible with 0.014" guidewires. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring balloon dilatation of stenotic coronary arteries, bypass grafts, or post-stent implantation dilatation to improve myocardial perfusion.
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.
