Optima Coil System (OptiOne Coil System)
Product: Optima Coil System (OptiOne Coil System) — all models and sizes · Where to buy
FDA Clearance Information
FDA-Cleared Indications
- For use in the embolization of intracranial aneurysms.
- For use in the embolization of other neurovascular lesions or vessels when the device is used according to its FDA-cleared labeling.
- The device is a Class II neurovascular embolization device under product code HCG and 21 CFR 882.5950.
Clinical Applications
- Catheter-based coiling of selected brain aneurysms.
- Embolization of selected intracranial vascular lesions.
- Occlusion of targeted neurovascular vessels when coil embolization is clinically appropriate.
- Use during neurointerventional procedures performed through an angiographic catheter.
Reported off-label uses
- Coil embolization of selected extracranial or peripheral vessels may be performed with coil systems as a device-category practice, but this should not be assumed to be included in the Optima Coil System's FDA-cleared indication.
- Use in selected non-neurovascular embolization procedures may occur in clinical practice, but requires physician judgment and confirmation of device labeling, compatibility, and applicable regulatory requirements.
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 coil diameter, length, and configuration must be matched to the target vessel or aneurysm and the delivery catheter specified in the manufacturer's instructions for use.
- Deployment is performed through a catheter under fluoroscopic or angiographic guidance, generally with local anesthesia and moderate sedation or general anesthesia depending on the procedure.
- The system is intended for use by trained physicians familiar with neurovascular embolization, including assessment of vessel anatomy, catheter stability, and the risk of unintended embolization.
- MRI safety and conditions should be confirmed in the current manufacturer labeling before scanning; do not assume that every coil configuration has identical MRI conditions.
- Potential contraindications and precautions include unsuitable vascular anatomy, inability to safely position the delivery catheter, active infection at the treatment site, allergy or intolerance to relevant materials or contrast media, and conditions in which embolization would create unacceptable ischemia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Optima Coil System used for?
It is a detachable neurovascular embolization coil system used to block selected blood vessels, especially during catheter-based treatment of intracranial aneurysms and other neurovascular lesions covered by its FDA-cleared labeling.
Is the Optima Coil System MRI safe?
MRI conditions depend on the specific coil, implant configuration, and manufacturer labeling. The treating team and MRI department should verify the current MRI safety conditions before scanning.
What sizes does the Optima Coil System come in?
Coil systems are supplied in different diameters, lengths, and configurations so the operator can match the device to the aneurysm or target vessel. The exact available sizes should be confirmed in the current Balt USA product documentation.
How long does an embolization coil last?
A properly deployed embolization coil is intended to remain in the body permanently. Follow-up imaging may be recommended to check the treated aneurysm or vessel over time.
How much does the Optima Coil System cost?
The device price is usually part of the hospital or procedural charge and varies by facility, number of coils used, insurance coverage, and the overall treatment. Patients should ask the hospital and insurer for a procedure-specific estimate.
