AXS Catalyst™ 6 Distal Access Catheter

Device-Type

Aspiration Catheter

Manufacturer

Stryker Neurovascular


The CAT™ 6 Distal Access Catheter is designed for fast access and rapid revascularization with Trevo XP Retriever.


The AXS Catalyst Distal Access Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter designed for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into the peripheral and neuro vascular system. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The catheter includes a radiopaque marker on the distal end for angiographic visualization and a luer hub on the proximal end allowing attachments for flushing and aspiration. It is packaged with a Rotating Hemostastic Valve (RHV) and Tuohy Borst valve with sideport for flushing, insertion of catheters and aspiration. The peel away introducer sheaths are designed to protect the distal tip of the catheter during insertion into the RHV or Tuohy Borst.


Intended use/indications for use

The AXS Catalyst Distal Access Catheter is indicated for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral and neurovascular systems. The AXS Catalyst Distal Access Catheter is also indicated for use as a conduit for retrieval devices.

Features and Benefits

Safety informations

warning

Contents supplied STERILE using an ethylene oxide (EO) process. Do not use if sterile barrier is damaged. If damage is found, call your Stryker Neurovascular representative. For single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilize. Reuse, reprocessing or resterilization may compromise the structural integrity of the device and/or lead to device failure which, in turn, may result in patient injury, illness or death. Reuse, reprocessing or resterilization may also create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause patient infection or cross-infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness or death of the patient.

PRECAUTIONS

• Carefully inspect all devices prior to use. Verify size, length, and condition are suitable for the specific procedure. Do not use a device that has been damaged in any way. Damaged device may cause complications.

• To control the proper introduction, movement, positioning and removal of the catheter within the vascular system, users should employ standard clinical angiographic and fluoroscopic practices and techniques throughout the interventional procedure.

• Use the product prior to the “Use By” date printed on the label.

• To prevent thrombus formation and contrast media crystal formation, maintain a constant infusion of appropriate flush solution through catheter lumen.

• Torquing the catheter may cause damage which could result in kinking or separation of the catheter shaft.

Potential adverse events

Potential adverse events associated with the use of catheters or with the endovascular procedures include, but are not limited to:

• Access site complications

• Allergic reaction

• Aneurysm perforation

• Aneurysm rupture

• Death

• Embolism (air, foreign body, plaque, thrombus)

• Hematoma

• Hemorrhage

• Infection

• Ischemia

• Neurological deficits

• Pseudoaneurysm

• Stroke

• Transient Ischemic Attack

• Vasospasm

• Vessel dissection

• Vessel occlusion

• Vessel perforation

• Vessel rupture

• Vessel thrombosis
