## Indications for Use

The Headway 27 Microcatheter is intended for general intravascular use, including the peripheral, coronary and neurovasculature for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils.

## Device Story

Headway 27 Microcatheter is a single-lumen percutaneous catheter for accessing small, tortuous vasculature. Device features semi-rigid proximal section transitioning to flexible distal tip; dual radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic visualization; hydrophilic coating for lubricity; luer fitting for accessory attachment. Operated by physicians in clinical settings (e.g., interventional radiology/cardiology). Device is introduced over a steerable guidewire to deliver contrast media or therapeutic agents like occlusion coils. Enables navigation through complex vascular anatomy to target sites; facilitates precise delivery of diagnostic/therapeutic materials; improves procedural access to peripheral, coronary, and neurovascular systems.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and biocompatibility verification. Bench testing included surface/physical attributes, tensile strength, leakage, burst pressure, simulated use, compatibility, flow rate, kink resistance, flexural fatigue, torque, and DMSO compatibility. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), sensitization/irritation (ISO 10993-10), hemocompatibility (ISO 10993-4), and systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11). All tests passed.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-lumen percutaneous catheter. Features hydrophilic coating. Radiopaque markers for visualization. Dimensions: 0.027" ID, 0.037" OD. Materials and sterilization processes are identical to predicate. Biocompatibility compliant with ISO 10993-4, 5, 10, 11.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Headway 21 Microcatheter ([K093160](/device/K093160.md))

### 510(k) Summary

AUG - 5 2011

#### Device Description:

The Headway 27 Microcatheter is a single lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire to access small, tortuous vasculature. The semi-rigid proximal section transitions to a flexible distal tip to facilitate advancement through vessels. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal end facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the Microcatheter is coated with a hydrophilic polymer to increase lubricity. A luer fitting on the Microcatheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories.

#### Indication For Use:

The Headway 27 Microcatheter is intended for general intravascular use, including the peripheral, coronary and neurovasculature for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils.
