FDA Clearance Information
The Atrium Medical ClearWay RX Catheter was cleared by the FDA via the 510k pathway on December 15, 2006. It is manufactured by Atrium Medical and classified as a Class 2 device under product code DQY.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Percutaneous catheter use in the vascular system, as classified under FDA product code DQY and 21 CFR 870.1250.
- The specific FDA-cleared indication cannot be stated from the available record because the FDA indication field is listed only as “Statement.”
Clinical Applications
- Catheter-based delivery of a therapeutic agent to a selected vascular location when consistent with the device's complete FDA labeling.
- Use during an image-guided endovascular procedure in which local treatment of a vascular lesion is required and the catheter's labeled compatibility requirements are met.
Reported off-label uses
- Local delivery of thrombolytic medication during selected catheter-directed treatment of deep vein thrombosis or other venous thrombosis.
- Adjunctive local drug delivery during selected venous interventions, including treatment associated with venous stenting.
Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations
- The exact catheter diameter, working length, guidewire requirements, and drug-compatibility limits should be confirmed in the current instructions for use; these specifications are not provided in the FDA summary.
- Use requires vascular access and fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance by a trained clinician.
- The treating team should verify compatibility with the intended guidewire, sheath, contrast agent, therapeutic medication, and vascular anatomy before use.
- MRI safety or conditional labeling is not established in the information provided; review the current labeling before MRI.
- Potential risks are those associated with vascular catheterization and local drug delivery, including bleeding, vascular injury, thrombosis, embolization, infection, allergic reaction, and medication-related complications.
