S.M.A.R.T. Nitinol Stent System and the S.M.A.R.T. Control Nitinol Stent System. The SMART stent system includes a self-expanding stent made of Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) material and a 6 French (2.0 mm) or 7 French (2.3 mm) sheathed delivery system. The stent is laser cut from a solid nitinol tube into a fine mesh ( Z Configuration) design. The stent expands to its unconstrained diameter when released from the deployment catheter into the iliac artery. Upon deployment, the stent forms an open lattice and pushes outward on the luminal surface, helping to maintain the patency of the artery. Due to the self-expanding behavior of nitinol, the stents are indicated for placement into vessels that are 1-2 mm smaller in diameter than the unconstrained diameter of the stent. The SMART Control stent system includes a self-expanding stent made of Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) material and a 6 French (2.0 mm) sheathed delivery system. The stent is laser cut from a solid nitinol tube into a fine mesh ( Z Configuration) design. The stent expands to its unconstrained diameter when released from the deployment catheter into the iliac artery. Upon deployment, the stent forms an open lattice and pushes outward on the luminal surface, helping to maintain the patency of the artery. Due to the self-expanding behavior of nitinol, the stents are indicated for placement into vessels that are 1-2 mm smaller in diameter than the unconstrained diameter of the stent. The stent is equipped with 12 tantalum markers, 6 at each end, to increase the visibility of the stent under fluoroscopic imaging. The SMART Control stent system is designed to be delivered through an appropriately sized catheter sheath introducer.

App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Cordis has initiated a labeling correction for S.M.A.R.T. and PRECISE stents due to incorrect MRI information on the IFU. The correct classification is "MRI Conditional" not "MRI Safe".

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Cordis Precise Nitinol Stent System. The Cordis PRECISE Nitinol Stent System devices are designed to deliver a flexible, self-expanding endoluminal stent to the carotid vasculature via over-the-wire (OTW) 5.5F or 6F sheathed delivery systems. The stent is cut from a solid nitinol tube into a fine mesh ( Z configuration) design. The delivery systems consist mainly of an inner shaft and an outer sheath with radiopaque markers, and a Tuohy Borst valve. The inner shaft terminates distally in a catheter tip and originates proximally in a luer hub designed to accept a 0.018 guidewire. The delivery systems have a nominal working length of 135 cm. The self-expanding PRECISE stent is constrained within the space between the inner shaft and the outer sheath, located between distal and proximal stent makers on the inner shaft. The stent expands to its unconstrained diameter when released from the deployment catheter into the carotid artery. Upon deployment the stent forms an open lattice and pushes outward on the luminal surface, helping to maintain the patency of the artery. Due to the self-expanding behavior of nitinol, the stents are indicated for placement into vessels that are 1-2mm smaller in diameter than the unconstrained diameter of the stent.

Cordis S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL /S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent System. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent Systems consist of a self-expanding stent made of Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) material that is pre-mounted on an over-the-wire delivery system. The stents contain tantalum markers at each end. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stents are designed to open to a preprogrammed diameter at body temperature. There are two delivery system configurations S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. The stent is contained within the outer sheath of the delivery system. Once the distal end of the delivery system reaches the treatment site, the outer sheath of the delivery system is retracted to expose the stent and start its self-expansion. For the S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the handle in a fixed position with the tuning dial held between the thumb and index fingers, and rotating the tuning dial in a clockwise direction until the distal end of the stent is visibly apposed to the vessel wall. For the S.M.A.R.T. Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the inner shaft in a fixed position and moving the outer sheath proximally relative t the inner shaft.
