Intended Use

The ClosureFAST™ Catheter is intended for endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux.

Device Story

ClosureFAST™ Intravascular Catheter is an endovascular device used for the treatment of superficial vein reflux. It functions by delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy to the vein wall, causing thermal coagulation and subsequent vessel closure. The device is used by physicians in a clinical setting. The catheter is inserted into the target vein under ultrasound guidance; the physician monitors the procedure and positions the device to ensure effective treatment. By inducing controlled thermal injury to the vein, the device facilitates the closure of incompetent superficial veins, which can alleviate symptoms associated with venous reflux disease. The device is designed for use with compatible RF generators.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

The device is an intravascular catheter designed for endovascular coagulation. It utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy as the energy source for thermal coagulation. The device is intended for use in the vascular system to treat superficial vein reflux.

Indications for Use

Indicated for endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.
