Indications for Use
The Chocolate™ PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.
Device Story
Rapid exchange (RX) angioplasty balloon catheter; used for coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis dilatation. Device consists of stainless steel hypotube, nylon shaft, semi-compliant balloon, and metal constraining structure (CS). Physician operates device via guidewire (0.014") in clinical setting. Upon inflation, CS expands with balloon; balloon continues expansion beyond CS; upon deflation, CS returns to original shape for removal. Radiopaque markers define working length. Hub connects to standard inflation device. Improves myocardial perfusion by dilating stenotic vessels.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional verification, balloon preparation/deployment/retraction, flexibility/kink, rated burst pressure, fatigue, compliance, inflation/deflation, bond strength, tip pull, torque, radiopacity, particulate evaluation, and biocompatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: stainless steel hypotube, nylon shaft, hydrophilic coating. Design: Rapid Exchange (RX) catheter, semi-compliant balloon with metal constraining structure (CS). Dimensions: 140 ±5cm length, 0.014" guidewire compatible. Energy: pneumatic (inflation device). Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring balloon dilatation of stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts 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.
