FILTERWIRE EZ™ FILTERWIRE EZ Embolic Protection System

The Boston Scientific FilterWire EZ™ Embolic Protection System is indicated for use as a guidewire and embolic protection system to contain and remove embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing angioplasty and stenting procedures in coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts and carotid arteries. The diameter of the vessel at the site of filter loop placement should be between 2.25 mm and 5.5 mm for coronary saphenous vein bypass graft procedures and between 3.5 mm and 5.5 mm for carotid procedures.

The safety and effectiveness of this device as an embolic protection system have not been established in the cerebral vasculature, peripheral vessels other than carotid arteries, or in treating native coronaries, including acute myocardial infarction.
