Intended Use
The catheters are intended for use in angiographic procedures by physicians trained and experienced in angiographic techniques. Standard techniques for placement of vascular access sheaths, angiographic catheters and wire guides should be employed.
Precautions
- Manipulation of catheter requires fluoroscopic control.
- Due to thinwall construction, extreme care must be exercised during manipulation and withdrawal. Catheter insertion through a synthetic vascular graft should be avoided whenever possible.
- Do not attempt to heat or reshape the catheter curve; the catheter tip is made from a heat-sensitive material.
- The possible whiplash effect of the long, soft catheter tip must be considered during selective angiography.
- Activate hydrophilic coating, if present, by wetting the distal end of the catheter with sterile water or saline. For best results, keep the catheter surface wet during placement.
- If an over-the-wire catheter design is used, where the wire is left in place during injections, the proximal end of the wire should be clamped to protect against accidental injection of the wire guide.
