The Ellipsys® Vascular Access System is indicated for the creation of a proximal radial artery to perforating vein anastomosis via a retrograde venous access approach in patients with a minimum vessel diameter of 2.0mm and less than 1.5mm of separation between the artery and vein at the fistula creation site who have chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. The main components of the Ellipsys Vascular Access System are the Ellipsys Catheter, the Ellipsys Crossing Needle, and the Ellipsys Power Controller. The Crossing Needle and Catheter are single-use, sterile disposables. The Ellipsys Power Controller is a reusable, non-sterile portable electronic console that is packaged and provided separately.
An assembly of line-powered devices designed to regulate an electrical current used to heat the electrode tip or wire loop of a cutting instrument intended to burn or sear body tissues during surgery. It is typically used to stop bleeding (cauterization of blood vessels), to treat superficial skin lesions (e.g., removal of warts, removal of gastrointestinal polyps via an appropriate endoscope), or to occlude fallopian tubes during sterilization procedures. It typically consists of a generator, a handpiece, and electrodes. Unlike electrosurgical diathermy, electrocautery does not involve electrical current passing through the patient.
