Delivered via injection through Target Therapeutics Infusion Catheters or Balt Magic 1.5F/1.8F catheters; requires adapter for Balt Magic catheters. Loaded in sheath-like introducer for catheter transfer. Used by physicians in clinical settings for embolization of vascular malformations; provides mechanical occlusion to reduce or stop blood flow to malformation; aids in treatment of vascular abnormalities. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; substantial equivalence based on identical materials, design, and performance parameters to predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Radiopaque occlusion coil; helical geometry; 0.008 or 0.016 inch primary wind diameters; supplied with sheath-like introducer; requires adapter for specific catheter compatibility. ## Regulatory Identification A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e). ## Predicate Devices - Target Therapeutics Berenstein Coils ([K961923](/device/K961923.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

These coils are radiopaque. The Berenstein Coil is available in a helical shape, in 0.008 or 0.016 inch primary wind diameter (Berenstein Coil - 10 and Berenstein Coil - 18, respectively), and in a variety of lengths. The Berenstein Coil comes loaded in a sheath-like introducer for easy transfer into a catheter. An adapter, manufactured by Target Therapeutics, is required when Berenstein Coil - 10 Occlusion Devices are used with Balt Magic catheters. The Adapter may be supplied with the Berenstein Coil or may be available separately. ## INTENDED USE: Berenstein Coils are intended for the embolization of vascular malformations of the peripheral and neuro vasculature. ## PREDICATE DEVICES: The Berenstein Coil is identical in materials, performance, and design parameters to Target Therapeutics Berenstein Coils, cleared for commercial distribution for neuro vascular indications in K961923 and is similar to other Target Therapeutics occlusion coils cleared for use in the peripheral vasculature including 510(k) Notification, Target Therapeutics Berenstein Coil Occlusion Device, Peripheral Indications October 14, 1996 --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-d%E2%80%94cardiovascular-prosthetic-devices/KRD/K964112](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-d%E2%80%94cardiovascular-prosthetic-devices/KRD/K964112) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
