Trufill Dcs Orbit Detachable Coil System
Codman & Shurtleff
Product: Orbit Galaxy — all models and sizes
FDA Clearance Information
The Trufill DCS Orbit Detachable Coil System was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on May 26, 2010. It is manufactured by Codman & Shurtleff and classified as a Class 2 device under product code HCG.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Endovascular occlusion of cerebral aneurysms.
- Embolization of cerebral aneurysms using a detachable coil system.
Clinical Applications
- Catheter-based embolization of intracranial saccular aneurysms.
- Treatment of cerebral aneurysms when endovascular coiling is selected instead of surgical clipping.
- Placement of detachable platinum coils within an aneurysm to promote thrombosis and occlusion.
Reported off-label uses
- Embolization of selected non-aneurysmal intracranial vascular lesions has been reported for detachable coil systems, but this is outside the stated cerebral aneurysm indication and requires case-specific specialist judgment.
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 system is used with a compatible microcatheter and delivery system; catheter compatibility should be confirmed in the current instructions for use.
- Coil sizes and configurations are selected according to the aneurysm's width, depth, neck, and shape, as well as the parent vessel anatomy.
- Placement is performed under fluoroscopic or angiographic guidance, usually with general anesthesia or procedural sedation depending on the case.
- MRI safety and conditions depend on the specific device labeling and implanted configuration; the current MRI safety information should be verified before scanning.
- Potential risks include thromboembolism, aneurysm rupture, coil migration or protrusion, incomplete occlusion, recurrence, and complications related to vascular access or contrast.
