The EKOS Micro-Infusion System is intended for regional infusion of contrast materials into selected vessels in the neurovasculature. The EKOS Micro-Infusion System may be used for controlled, regional infusion into selected vessels and is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
Device Story
Infusion catheter system designed for delivery of contrast materials into neurovasculature; incorporates transducer element at distal catheter tip to deliver ultrasound energy. Used by clinicians in clinical settings. Device facilitates controlled, regional infusion. Potential patient benefit includes targeted delivery of contrast agents for diagnostic imaging. Safety and effectiveness for thrombolytic therapy in neurovasculature not established; labeling includes warning regarding potential for adverse events such as intracranial hemorrhage.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of preclinical bench and animal studies demonstrating that the device meets design specifications and is safe and effective for its intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Infusion catheter system featuring a distal tip transducer element for ultrasound energy delivery. Designed for neurovascular access. Technical specifications and materials are not detailed beyond the presence of the ultrasound transducer component.
Indications for Use
Indicated for regional infusion of contrast materials into selected neurovasculature vessels. Not for use in coronary vasculature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.
