• Larger 14F luminal design allows for improved flow rates.
• Silicone material provides biocompatibility and kink resistance.
• Fast Track™ Stylet and round catheter permits easier insertion and less patient discomfort.
• MRI compatible.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The Medcomp® SLX Double Lumen Catheter can be utilized for temporary access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion or apheresis therapy. The cannula may be inserted via the Seldinger technique due to the inner Teflon stylet, increasing linear strength. The stylet is removed after insertion, leaving the soft silicone cannula in the body. The flexible silicone make-up conforms well to the vessel anatomy, resulting in higher patient tolerance during extended use.

Contraindications

The Subclavian Approach is NOT recommended for use with the Medcomp® SLX Double Lumen Subclavian-Femoral Catheter in Hemodialysis or Hemoperfusion Procedures used for the management of acute poisoning or other situations in which a ventilator might be used due to risk of traumatic pneumothorax posing a dangerous complication for the patient.

WARNINGS:

• In the rare event that a hub or connector separates from any component during insertion or use, take all necessary steps and precautions to prevent blood loss or air embolism and remove the catheter immediately.

• Do not advance the stainless steel guidewire or catheter if unusual resistance is encountered.

• Do not insert or withdraw the guidewire forcibly from any component. The wire could break or unravel. If the guidewire becomes damaged, the catheter and guidewire must be removed together.

• Federal Law (USA) restricts the device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
