Novoste gets CE Mark for smaller Beta-Cath system catheter

Norcross-based Novoste Corp. (Nasdaq: NOVT) has completed European Union requirements for approval to affix the CE Mark to its next generation smaller diameter catheter system, the Beta-Cath 3.5 French (F) System, to reduce the incidence of restenosis following percutaneous coronary interventional procedures.

The Beta-Cath 3.5F System, offered in Europe with both a 40mm and 60mm radiation source train, includes the smallest diameter vascular brachytherapy catheter commercially available. The Beta-Cath 3.5F System is designed to be used with a 6F guiding catheter, which is the most common guide catheter size used in Europe. The smaller catheter diameter and multiple radiation lengths should allow the Beta-Cath 3.5F System to be particularly useful in the treatment of smaller coronary arteries, thus expanding the market opportunity for vascular brachytherapy.

Novoste also announced it has submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a premarket approval supplement for the new Beta-Cath 3.5F System, to be used for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.

disagree  Heathcliff: Not all catheters are Foleys (urinary catheters) -- consider, for example, cardiac catheters.

French size / or Facteur correctif


Explanation:
Could be referring to 'French size' or could be 'Facteur correctif (F)'.

Most probably the former here. No measures in inches, etc :)
