The Emboshield NAV6 Embolic Protection System is indicated for use as a guide wire and embolic protection system to contain and remove embolic material (thrombus / debris) while performing angioplasty and stenting procedures in carotid arteries and while performing atherectomy, during standalone procedures or together with PTA and/or stenting, in lower extremity arteries. The diameter of the artery at the site of the Filtration Element placement should be between 2.5 and 7.0 mm.
Advanced Embolic Protection TechnologyAbbott's Emboshield NAV6 system incorporates SpiderFX filter technology and a polyurethane filter with a radiopaque marker. This ensures reliable embolic capture with enhanced visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to protect patients from procedure-related debris during vascular interventions.
Efficient and User-Friendly DesignWith its lightweight, portable build and compatibility with standard 0.014-inch guidewires, the Emboshield NAV6 delivers quick, effective deployment and retrieval. The rapid deflation mechanism and manually operated, over-the-wire configuration enable efficient procedures while maximizing patient safety.
Robust Safety and Sterility StandardsThe Emboshield NAV6 is supplied sterile, designed for single-use to minimize infection risk. Its construction from medical-grade polymer and stainless steel alongside strict manufacturing standards ensures dependability for every procedure.
FAQ's of Abbott Emboshield NAV6 Embolic Protection System:
Q: How does the Emboshield NAV6 system enhance embolic protection during carotid and peripheral vascular procedures?
A: The Emboshield NAV6 provides a polyurethane filter with 110 m pore size and SpiderFX technology, effectively capturing embolic debris in real-time during interventions, thus reducing the risk of downstream vascular complications.
Q: What is the recommended storage method for the Emboshield NAV6 device?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ensuring sterility and maintaining its two-year shelf life.
Q: When should the Emboshield NAV6 be used during a vascular intervention?
A: The system is intended for use during carotid artery stenting or peripheral interventions where embolic protection is needed to minimize debris-related vessel blockage.
Q: Where is the Emboshield NAV6 Embolic Protection System typically used?
A: This device is commonly employed in cardiac catheterization laboratories and vascular intervention suites by clinicians performing carotid and peripheral procedures.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the Emboshield NAV6 system over other protection devices?
A: The NAV6 offers high debris capture efficiency, clear radiopaque visualization, rapid filter deployment and retrieval, ease of use with standard guidewires, and a proven safety profile due to its sterile, single-use design.
Q: How is the Emboshield NAV6 deployed and retrieved during the procedure?
A: It uses an over-the-wire (OTW) design for manual deployment. The filter is introduced and positioned using compatible 0.014-inch guidewires, while the rapid deflation feature ensures quick and safe retrieval post-procedure.
