## Indications for Use

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.

## Device Story

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is a percutaneous device used by vascular surgeons to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses. It features an expandable Nitinol mesh mounted on a catheter, housed within a 14F retractable sheath. The device is inserted over a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire. The operator uses a blue handle to sheath/unsheath the mesh and a clear handle/luer to control mesh expansion. The Nitinol mesh design allows for vessel modeling without occluding blood flow. Radiopaque markers facilitate positioning under fluoroscopy. The device is silicone-coated to enhance performance. By ensuring proper apposition of endoprostheses against vessel walls, the device aids in the successful deployment of vascular implants.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes product characterization and validation: simulated use, fatigue, hemostasis, bond tensile strength, radial outward force, compatibility with endoprostheses, lubricity, silicone curing characterization, shelf life, and bushing/seal process qualification. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 for externally communicating devices with limited contact duration (<24 hours) in circulating blood.

## Technological Characteristics

Percutaneous modeling catheter with expandable Nitinol mesh; 14F retractable sheath; medical-grade silicone surface coating. Compatible with 0.035/0.038 inch guidewires. Radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic visualization. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (EO) per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.

## 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.

#### Proposed Device Description:

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a 14F retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh.
