What It Is

The StarClose Introducer Set Model-1002 is a vascular closure device designed to achieve hemostasis at arterial puncture sites following catheterization procedures. It uses a nitinol clip to mechanically close the puncture site, promoting rapid hemostasis and enabling early ambulation of patients. This device is particularly beneficial in reducing the time to hemostasis compared to manual compression.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Closure of femoral artery access sites after catheterization procedures.
  • Achieving hemostasis at an arterial puncture site after removal of a procedural sheath.

Clinical Applications

  • Closure of femoral arterial access after diagnostic angiography.
  • Closure of femoral arterial access after interventional catheter-based procedures.
  • Hemostasis after removal of a femoral arterial sheath.

Practical Considerations

  • The device is intended for femoral arterial access and should not be assumed to be appropriate for venous, radial, or other nonfemoral access sites.
  • The operator should confirm that the access anatomy, puncture location, vessel size, and sheath characteristics are appropriate before deployment.
  • Deployment requires fluoroscopic or other procedural imaging assessment and familiarity with the device technique.
  • Contraindications and warnings in the current instructions for use should be reviewed, including conditions that may impair arterial closure or increase bleeding risk.
  • MRI safety should be determined from the current Abbott labeling and the exact device configuration; the FDA record alone does not establish that this model is MR Safe or MR Conditional.
