Cook Medical G23717 - SPECTRUM, TURBO-JET, TRIPLE LUMEN, POWER / IN, EACH
Turbo-Ject Power-Injectable PICC
Turbo-Ject Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters feature a soft polyurethane suture wing for secure fixation to the skin. Reinforced polyurethane extensions reduce catheter damage during catheter manipulations. Catheters can be trimmed to fit the patients anatomy. Plastic clamp(s) help prevent air aspiration due to inadvertent hub dislodgment.

Intended Use
Cook Spectrum Turbo-Ject Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter (PICC) Sets are intended for short- or long-term use for venous pressure monitoring, blood sampling, administration of drugs and fluids, and for use with power injectors for delivery of contrast in CT studies. The catheter is impregnated with the antimicrobials minocycline and rifampin to help provide protection against catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). The Cook Spectrum Turbo-Ject PICC is indicated for multiple injections of contrast media through a power injector. The maximum pressure limit setting for Power Injectors used with the Spectrum Turbo-Ject PICC may not exceed 325 psi and the flow rate may not exceed the maximum flow rate indicated, as shown on the following table.
| Catheter Size | Maximum Flow Rate* | Injection Pressure Limit Setting |
| 6 Fr Triple Lumen | 7 mL/sec | 325 psi |
*Flow rates achieved using room temperature Omnipaque 300 contrast and verified using a MEDRAD Stellant CT injector system. Omnipaque 300 has a viscosity of 11.8 centipoise at room temperature (20 degrees C). A change in temperature or viscosity of the contrast medium used will result in a change in achievable flow rates.

Discussion of Antimicrobial Activity
Antimicrobial activity associated with the Cook Spectrum Silicone Central Venous Catheter over time has been demonstrated in the following way: The length of activity of the antibiotics was established during in vitro zone of inhibition testing after suspension in saline at 37 degrees C. Antimicrobial activity in the 7.0 French double-lumen catheter was demonstrated for at least 28 days against Staphylococcus epidermidis, the most common organism implicated in catheter-related infection.
