Intended Use
The GUIDEZILLA™ Guide Extension Catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with guide catheters to access discrete regions of the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature, and to facilitate placement of interventional devices.
Device Story
GUIDEZILLA is a guide extension catheter designed to extend the reach of traditional guide catheters. It consists of a proximal stainless steel hypotube and a distal polymer guide catheter segment. The device features two radiopaque marker bands for positioning and a hydrophilic coating on the distal segment. It is a 5F catheter compatible with 6F guide catheters, with an effective length of 145 cm. Used by physicians in clinical settings to navigate coronary or peripheral vasculature, it facilitates the delivery of interventional devices to target sites. The device provides a stable platform for device placement, potentially improving procedural success in complex vascular anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence was supported by bench testing and biocompatibility testing. Bench tests included effective length, outer/inner diameter, tensile strength, kink resistance, tip deflection, torque strength, radiopacity, dye flow, coating integrity, particulate evaluation, corrosion resistance, and device compatibility. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, materials-mediated pyrogenicity, USP physicochemical, hemolysis, complement activation, partial thromboplastin time, in vitro hemocompatibility, and latex testing.
Technological Characteristics
5F guide extension catheter; 145 cm effective length; stainless steel proximal hypotube; distal polymer segment with hydrophilic coating; two radiopaque marker bands. Compatible with 6F guide catheters. Sterilized device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring access to discrete regions of the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature to facilitate the placement of interventional devices.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.
