PRECAUTIONS
In preclinical studies, the use of this device has been associated with a minor chronic inflammation of a giant cell foreign body reaction. Although inflammation of this type has not been observed in humans, the long term clinical significance of this type of inflammatory response, if any, is unknown. The long term effect of this product on extravascular tissues has not been established, so care should be taken to retain this device in the intravascular space. Do not advance the coil with force if the coil becomes lodged within the catheter. Determine the cause of resistance and replace the catheter and the coil when necessary. Replace catheter frequently if increased resistance is noted during coil delivery.
