Lipoprotein, Low Density, Removal
The Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Removal device is an extracorporeal system used in lipid apheresis to selectively remove low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from a patient's blood, used in the treatment of severe familial hypercholesterolemia in patients who cannot achieve adequate LDL reduction through diet and drug therapy alone. As a Class 3 device, it requires Premarket Approval (PMA) given the high risks associated with extracorporeal blood processing. No regulation number or medical specialty code is recorded, and it carries no implant or life-sustaining flags.
