SHAPES & SIZES TO MEET YOUR
PROCEDURAL CHALLENGES
The Fast-Cath™ Introducer is designed as both a workhorse sheath for interventional catheterizations and a specialty sheath for brachial and right ventricle access
Features and Benefits
DEPENDABLE HEMOSTASIS
- Fast-Cath™ Introducer valve designed to preserve catheter handling while minimizing backbleeding and air introduction
ATRAUMATIC TIP
- Smooth tapers and tip transitions designed to minimize traumatic vascular access
5 CM WYSHAM SHEATH FOR
BRACHIAL ARTERY INTRODUCTION
- Designed specifically for brachial artery introduction
GSPC SHEATH FOR MYOCARDIAL BIOPSY
- Septal plane curve for improved sheath positioning within the right ventricle*
- Features side holes at the distal end
- Radiopaque tip marker at the distal ends enhance visibility

FAST-CATH™ Hemostasis Introducer
APPLICATIONS
The introduction of angiographic catheters, closed end catheters, balloon catheters, and electrodes into a vessel where minimizing blood loss is essential
CAUTION
- DO NOT alter this device.
- Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
- Do not attempt to use a guidewire over maximum diameter specified on package label.
- This device should only be used by physicians thoroughly trained in the technique of angiography and/or the use of St. Jude Medical catheter delivery systems.
- Individual patient anatomy and physician technique may require procedural variations.
- The closing force of the hemostasis valve may alter or impair the function of some catheters.
- Damage to guidewire may result if with-drawn through a metal needle cannula. Cannula must be removed first.
- Do not attempt to advance or withdraw guidewire if resistance is felt. Use fluo-roscopy to determine cause.
- Damage to the valve assembly may occur if inner catheter is withdrawn rapidly.
- Advance dilator/sheath assembly with a twisting motion to avoid damage to the sheath or vessel
- STORE IN A COOL, DARK, DRY PLACE.
PRECAUTIONS
This device is intended for one time use only. Do not reprocess or reuse. Reuse can cause patient injury and/or the com-munication of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS
Potential complications which may be encountered during all catheterization procedures include, but are not limited to: acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina, allergic reaction to the contrast media, arterial dissection, injury, or perfora-tion, cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery spasm, embolism, thrombus formation, or death.
