Optimized Tip Design:

• Soft, short tip for increased deliverability
• Forward-facing tip for effective thrombus aspiration
• Extended hydrophilic coating

Full-Wall Technology (distal):

• Hub-to-tip variable braiding for optimal kink resistance and deliverability
• Flexible distal end engineered with high-density variable braiding

Full-Wall Technology (proximal):

• Hub-to-tip variable braiding for optimal kink resistance and deliverability
• Support and pushability in the proximal end engineered with low-density variable braiding

Kink Resistance:

• Full-Wall technology improves deliverability by increasing kink resistance, for optimal thrombus aspiration

WARNINGS

• If the Export catheter is to be used with the GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System, consult the GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System IFU prior to use.
• Prior to use, the packaging and product should be inspected for signs of damage. Never use damaged product or product from a damaged package.
• Do not attempt to advance or retract the Export catheter against resistance until the cause of resistance has been determined by fluoroscopy or other means. Maintain visualization of the length of the wire while using the Export catheter, specifically in the region distal to the guide catheter and proximal to the Export catheter marker band. Should a loop or excessive slack in the wire be visualized, do not attempt to retract the Export catheter into the guide catheter until the loop or excessive slack is eliminated. Retracting the Export catheter without straightening the wire may potentially tear the wire lumen, which could cause dislodgement of the marker band into the vasculature.
• The Export catheter should be handled carefully. Prior to use, inspect the Export catheter carefully for bends, kinks, or other damage. Do not use a damaged Export catheter.

PRECAUTIONS

• The Export catheter and accessories should be used in conjunction with fluoroscopic guidance and proper anticoagulation agents.
• When using the Export catheter for fluid delivery, do not exceed the maximum flow rate specified for the device (see Table 1).
• This device is designed and intended for single patient use only. DO NOT resterilize and/or reuse it.
• As in any elective coronary intervention, it is recommended that the patient has a mean systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg in concomitant of IV pressors or intra-aortic balloon pump augmentation.

As with most percutaneous interventions, other potential adverse events include: death, myocardial infarction, coronary or bypass graft thrombosis or occlusion, myocardial ischemia, stroke/CVA, emergent or non-emergent bypass graft surgery, emboli (air, tissue or thrombotic), dissection, arterial perforation, arterial rupture, ventricular fibrillation, hemorrhage, hypotension, pseudoaneurysm at access site, arteriovenous fistula, infection at access site, other bleeding complications at access site.
