## Indications for Use

The Sterling ES Monorail and Over-the-Wire PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters are indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The 2.00 mm - 4.00 mm balloon devices are also indicated for post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.

## Device Story

Sterling ES PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters are medical devices used for peripheral vascular interventions. The device features a coaxial shaft design with a semi-compliant balloon at the distal tip. It is available in Monorail (MR) and Over-the-Wire (OTW) configurations, compatible with 0.014" guidewires. Two radiopaque marker bands facilitate accurate positioning under fluoroscopy. The device is operated by a physician in a clinical setting (e.g., interventional suite). The physician advances the catheter to the stenosis, inflates the balloon to a known diameter and length at recommended pressures to dilate the vessel or post-dilate a stent, and then deflates the balloon for removal. This process restores blood flow in obstructed peripheral arteries or dialysis fistulae, providing therapeutic benefit to the patient.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Coaxial shaft design; semi-compliant balloon; two radiopaque marker bands; compatible with 0.014" guidewires; working length approx. 143 cm. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.

## 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

- Sterling ES Monorail (MR) and Over-the-Wire (OTW) PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters ([K080982](/device/K080982.md))

### Device Description

The Sterling ES PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters consist of a Monorail and an Over-The-Wire catheter designs with a semi-compliant balloon fixed at the distal tip. The balloon catheter has a coaxial shaft design. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the wire lumen permits the use of 0.014" guidewires to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures.

Two radiopaque marker bands (one proximal and one distal), in conjunction with fluoroscopy, enable accurate positioning of the balloon. The working lengths of the balloon catheters are approximately 143 cm.

#### Indications for Use

The Sterling ES MR and OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheters are indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, illo-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

The 2.00 mm - 4.00 mm balloon devices are also indicated for post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.

#### Substantial Equivalence

The Sterling ES MR and OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter design, materials, manufacturing process and intended use are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and other marketed PTA catheters.

#### Performance Data

The safety and effectiveness of the modified Sterling ES MR and OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is demonstrated with design control activities and bench testing on file at Boston Scientific.
