Indications for Use
The Diamond™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for PTA of the iliac, femoral and renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. In addition, certain sizes of the Diamond balloon catheter are indicated for stent deployment / optimization of the J&J Palmaz Biliary Stent into the biliary ducts.
Device Story
Over-the-wire balloon dilatation catheter; compatible with guidewires ≤.035"; used by physicians in clinical settings for angioplasty and stent deployment. Device inserted into vasculature or biliary ducts; balloon inflated to dilate stenotic lesions or optimize stent placement. Mechanical expansion restores vessel patency or secures stent; improves blood flow or biliary drainage. No complex electronics or software.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Functional, integrity, and biocompatibility testing performed per ISO-10993 standards; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Over-the-wire balloon dilatation catheter; compatible with guidewires ≤.035". Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO-10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of iliac, femoral, and renal arteries, treatment of obstructive lesions in native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae, and stent deployment/optimization in biliary ducts.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
