Large-Volume System

Ruby® Coil is a large-volume coil that can be delivered through LANTERN®, a high-flow microcatheter. Indicated for arterial and venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature, Ruby Coil’s characteristic softness and 3D complex shape is designed to allow the coil to densely pack aneurysms and vessels in a variety of clinical applications.

Ruby Coil allows physicians to use longer and larger volume coils, potentially reducing procedural time and total number of devices required. Ruby Coil has two softness levels, Standard and Soft, and can be repositioned to achieve ideal placement.



Low-Profile System

Ruby Coil LP is the newest addition to the peripheral embolization platform and offers the same technology as Penumbra’s large volume devices. Ruby Coil LP is deliverable through low profile microcatheters .0165 – .021″ (.42 – .53 mm), and is available in sizes as small as 1 mm in diameter and lengths up to 60 cm.



Mechanical Detachment

Ruby Coil and Ruby Coil LP are deployed using a one-click mechanical detachment handle.

Safety informations

Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Prior to use, please refer to the Instructions for complete product indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, potential adverse events, and detailed instructions for use.



Contraindications

There are no known contraindications.

Warnings

The Ruby Coil System should only be used by physicians who have received appropriate training in interventional techniques.

Precautions

• The device is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize or reuse. Resterilization and/or reuse may compromise the structural integrity of the device or increase the risk of contamination or infection leading to device failure and/or cross-infection and potential patient injury, illness, or death.

• Do not use kinked or damaged devices. Do not use opened or damaged packages. Return all damaged devices and packaging to the manufacturer/distributor.

• Use prior to the “Use By” date.

• Use device in conjunction with fluoroscopic guidance.

• Do not advance or retract the device against resistance without careful assessment of the cause using fluoroscopy.

• Moving or torquing the device against resistance may result in damage to the vessel or device.

• Maintain a constant infusion of an appropriate flush solution.

Potential adverse events

Potential complications include but are not limited to:

acute occlusion; air embolism; allergic reaction and anaphylaxis from contrast media; aneurysm rupture; arteriovenous fistula; coagulopathy; coil herniation into parent vessel; death; device malfunction; distal embolization; emboli; embolic stroke and other cerebral ischemic events; false aneurysm formation; hematoma or hemorrhage at access site of entry; incomplete aneurysm occlusion; infection; intima dissection; intracranial hemorrhage; ischemia; myocardial infarction; neurological deficits including stroke; parent artery occlusion; peripheral thromboembolic events; post-embolization syndrome; premature device detachment; recanalization; renal failure; respiratory failure; revascularization; thromboembolic episodes; vessel spasm, thrombosis, dissection, or perforation.
