A transvascular embolic protection system for safely capturing and retaining embolic material released during an interventional procedure comprises an embolic protection device ( 1 ) and a delivery catheter ( 2 ) for delivery of the embolic protection device ( 1 ) to a desired location in the vascular system. A pack ( 4 ) is provided to safely store and prepare the embolic protection system for use. The pack ( 4 ) comprises a tray ( 5 ) with a channel ( 6 ) extending in a looped configuration around the tray ( 5 ) for receiving the delivery catheter ( 2 ). A loading device ( 7 ) is mounted in the tray ( 5 ) adjacent to the delivery catheter ( 2 ). The embolic protection device ( 1 ) is mounted in an expanded configuration in a well ( 90 ) in the tray ( 5 ). A pushing device ( 8 ) for loading the collapsible embolic protection device ( 1 ) into the delivery catheter ( 2 ) is mounted in the tray ( 5 ) adjacent to the embolic protection device ( 1 ).
