This HI-TORQUE™ Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the delivery of catheter-based interventional devices during the following procedures:
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)
- Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices.
This device is designed and intended for ONE-TIME USE ONLY. Do not resterilize and / or reuse.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.
WARNINGS
Not intended for use with atherectomy devices.
Carefully observe the instructions under “Do Not” and “Do” below. Failure to do so may result in vessel trauma, guide wire damage, guide wire tip separation, or stent damage. If resistance is observed at any time, determine the cause under fluoroscopy and take remedial action as needed. Use the most suitable guide wire for the lesion being treated.
Do Not:
- Push, auger, withdraw, or torque a guide wire that meets resistance.
- Torque a guide wire if the tip becomes entrapped within the vasculature.
- Allow the guide wire tip to remain in a prolapsed condition.
- Deploy a stent such that it will entrap the wire between the vessel wall and the stent.
Do:
- Advance or withdraw the guide wire slowly.
- Use the radiopaque marker of the interventional device to confirm position.
- Examine the tip movement under fluoroscopy before manipulating, moving, or torquing the guide wire.
- Observe the wire under fluoroscopy for tip buckling, which is a sign of resistance.
- Maintain continuous flush while removing and reinserting the guide wire to prevent air from entering the catheter system. Perform exchanges slowly to prevent air entry and / or trauma.
- When reintroducing the guide wire, confirm that the interventional device tip is free within the vessel lumen and that the tip is parallel to the vessel wall.
- Use extreme caution when moving a guide wire through a non-endothelialized stent, or through stent struts, into a bifurcated vessel. Use of this technique involves additional patient risks, including the risk that the wire may become caught on the stent strut.
PRECAUTIONS

Contraindications
The use of the Teleport‡ microcatheters are contraindicated:
- for use in patients with an unprotected left main coronary artery.
- for use in patients with arterial spasm in the absence of significant stenosis.
- for use in the neurovasculature.
Warnings
When using this type of device, the following warnings should be observed:
- This device is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize and/or reuse, as this can potentially result in compromised device performance and increased risk of crosscontamination.
- Do not modify this product for any reason. Modification of this product may compromise the integrity and performance of the product. Use of a modified product may result in vascular injury.
- The patient may suffer from subacute thrombosis, vascular complications, or bleeding complications by using this microcatheter. Therefore, it should be well examined if the intervention procedure will be applicable for the patient.
- The device must always be operated under high-resolution fluoroscopic guidance. Particular attention should be paid when inserting or withdrawing the device into stenotic areas, highly calcified lesions, stent struts, and narrower vessels than the product. Abrasion may result in damage or rupture of the device and the hydrophilic coating which may cause vascular injury, perforation, or distal emboli.
- If abnormal resistance is detected during use of this product, do not continue the operation, avoid excessive manipulations, and carefully remove the entire catheter system while paying full attention to avoid complications. Continuing the operation while the cause of the problem is not identified may cause damage to, or rupture of, the catheter, and damage the blood vessel.
- This microcatheter is coated with hydrophilic coating. Therefore, the microcatheter is highly lubricious. Always confirm the position of the distal end of the microcatheter by fluoroscopy and manipulate the microcatheter carefully.
- Do not insert the guidewire by force or advance it rapidly when the microcatheter is bent or twisted. Such manipulations may cause rupture or damage of the microcatheter, or perforation of the blood vessel.
- Always advance the guidewire ahead of the microcatheter before attempting any manipulation of the microcatheter. If the guidewire is not advanced ahead of the microcatheter, the blood vessel may be damaged or perforated, or the microcatheter may be damaged.
- Always hold the proximal hub with one hand and turn the catheter carefully while regularly releasing the accumulated torsion of the catheter. Never turn the catheter continuously while holding the proximal hub with both hands or use any other means to apply force. When releasing the accumulated torsion, be sure to open the hemostatic valve on the Y-connector. Do not turn the catheter in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise, for more than 20 consecutive turns. If resistance is felt while turning the catheter, do not proceed with further rotation even if the 20-turn limit has not been reached. Identify the cause of resistance under fluoroscopy, and take appropriate action. Never continue the operation without identifying the cause; continuing rotation may damage or rupture the catheter or damage the blood vessel.
- When infusing contrast media, the device must be operated under high-resolution fluoroscopic guidance, confirming that the contrast media is being infused from the tip of the device. If the contrast media is not being infused, infusion must be stopped and the device must be replaced. If the device lumen is occluded, the device may be dilated, damaged, or ruptured, resulting in a life-threatening adverse event due to spurting contrast media.
- Injection pressure must not exceed 300 psi (the maximum injection pressure) when injecting contrast media using a power injector. Exceeding the maximum injection pressure may cause damage to the microcatheter.
- Discontinue injection if irregular resistance is felt at the syringe. The microcatheter may be bent or blocked. Excessive pressure may cause expansion and/or rupture of the microcatheter.
- Do not use a power injector to infuse contrast media when the microcatheter is bent or occluded. It may cause damage to the microcatheter such as expansion or breakage.
- Do not use guidewires larger than the recommended size. Resistance may be felt while advancing or withdrawing a guidewire larger than the recommended size, which may cause the catheter to become damaged or break, or the blood vessel to become damaged.
- If the device is inserted into vessels and the guidewire is to be replaced, insert the guidewire carefully. If any resistance is encountered, the operation must be discontinued immediately, and the device and the guidewire(s) withdrawn together. The device may be damaged and the tip may be cut.
- Do not wipe the surface of the microcatheter with gauze or absorbent cotton soaked with alcohols, gluconic acid chlorhexidine aqueous solution, or similar solutions as it may significantly deteriorate the lubricity of the microcatheter.
- Repeated insertion and withdrawal of the device may lead to deterioration of the hydrophilic coating. Continuous use of the device with deteriorated hydrophilic coating may cause vascular damage. This may also increase the risk of the tip being trapped, damaged, or ruptured.
Precautions
- Use the microcatheter prior to the "Use By" date specified on the package.
- Prior to use, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and length are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used. Check to ensure that the microcatheter was not damaged during transportation. Do not use if the package and/or the product is suspected to be damaged.
- This product must be used under fluoroscopy by a physician who is fully trained in interventional procedures.
- Check the patient condition before the procedure. Provide appropriate anticoagulant therapy if necessary.
- When inserting the guidewire into the microcatheter that is already placed in the blood vessel, carefully operate the guidewire not to damage the microcatheter at the bend sections.
- When using a guiding catheter fitted with a stopcock, do not manipulate the stopcock after inserting the microcatheter into the guiding catheter. The microcatheter may be damaged if the stopcock is manipulated during the insertion.
- Operate the microcatheter carefully to avoid damage, kinks, or bends, especially when inserting into the guiding catheter.
- Flush the surface and the lumen of the microcatheter continuously with sterile heparinized saline during its use to maintain lubricity.
- When inserting or exchanging the microcatheter, flush the lumen of the guiding catheter and the microcatheter system continuously with sterile heparinized saline.
- This product is not intended for drug infusion other than contrast media. This product has not been designed for drug infusion other than contrast media and its safety has not been established for this indication.
- When infusing contrast media, read the Instructions for Use provided with such contrast media and comply with instructions, precautions, and warnings.
- Use the extension tube when contrast media is injected by using power injector.
- Confirm that the inserted microcatheter does not have a kink, knot, torsion, or occlusion before injecting contrast media.

- Refer to the contrast media Instructions for Use for general warnings and precautions relating to use of contrast media.
- Before creating an OCT recording, review “Performing an OCT Procedure” for additional warnings and cautions in the IFU.
PRECAUTIONS
- Safety and effectiveness have been established for the following patient population: adult patients undergoing non-emergent percutaneous coronary interventions in lesions with reference vessel diameters between 2.0 to 3.5 mm, which are not located in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone previous bypass procedures.
- Follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions provided in “Patient Safety” in the IFU.
- All operators must be knowledgeable in performing OCT and physiological procedures prior to using the OPTIS™ and OPTIS™ Next Integrated Systems and Mobile Systems with the usage of the OPTIS™ Software, AptiVue™ E Series Software, Ultreon™ 1.0 Software, and Ultreon™ 2.0 Software.
- When using saline, heparinized saline is recommended.
- Monitor the OCT image for indications of the Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters optical failure. If optical failure is suspected, remove the Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheter from the patient, press “Unload” on the drive motor and optical controller (DOC), detach the catheter, and replace it with a new one.
- If the pullback triggers before contrast is injected, repeat the pullback.
- For optimal imaging, only use 100% contrast media.
- Use the minimum flush rate and volume required to image the desired anatomy.
- To obtain accurate measurements, be sure the selection for the Flush Medium is the same as the medium in which you are imaging.
- The Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters must be purged prior to connection to the DOC to prevent damage to the imaging core.
- Do not insert or remove a Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheter while the DOC is scanning. Do not attempt to disconnect the catheter from the DOC while the “lock” LED is blinking as it could damage the catheter or the DOC. Refer to “Removing the Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheter” in the IFU.
- Never attempt to attach or detach a catheter to the DOC while the "lock" LED is lit.
- Take care in handling the Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters to prevent breaking the fiber-optics within the catheter. Kinking and bending of the catheter can cause damage. While connecting, ensure the proximal catheter segment is straight and aligned with the DOC. Never attempt to connect and operate the catheter while the catheter remains coiled within the hoop.
- Do not kink, sharply bend, pinch, or crush the Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters at any time.
- The Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters have no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair or alter any part of the catheter assembly as provided.
- If you want to make measurements on files that will be exported to standard formats, you must make the measurements BEFORE exporting the images. Using non-OCT software to measure standard format images will not produce accurate measurements.

- Use a single wall puncture technique. Do not puncture the posterior wall of the vessel in arterial and venous access.
- Do not deploy the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device at an elevated angle against resistance as this may cause a cuff miss or device breakage.
- There are no reaccess restrictions if previous arteriotomy / venotomy repairs were achieved with Abbott Medical SMC or SMCR systems.
- If significant blood flow is present around the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device, do not deploy needles. Remove the device over a 0.038" (0.97 mm) (or smaller) guide wire and insert an appropriately sized sheath.
- Prior to depressing the plunger to advance the needles, stabilize the device by the body to ensure the foot is apposed to the vessel wall and the device does not twist during deployment. Twisting (torquing) of the device could lead to needle deflection resulting in a cuff miss. Do not use excessive force or repeatedly depress the plunger. Excessive force on the plunger during deployment could potentially cause breakage of the device, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
- Do not apply excessive force to the lever when opening the foot and returning the foot to its original position down to the body of the device. Do not attempt to remove the device without closing the lever. Excessive force on the lever or attempting to remove the device without closing the lever could cause breakage of the device and / or lead to vessel trauma, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
- Do not advance or withdraw the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device against resistance until the cause of that resistance has been determined. Excessive force used to advance or torque the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device should be avoided, as this may lead to significant vessel damage and / or breakage of the device, which may necessitate intervention and / or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.
- If excessive resistance in advancing the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device is encountered, withdraw the device over a 0.038" (0.97 mm) (or smaller) guide wire and reinsert the introducer sheath or use manual compression.
- Remove the Perclose™ ProStyle™ sheath before tightening the suture. Failure to remove the sheath prior to tightening the suture may result in detachment of the tip of the sheath.
- Care should be taken to avoid damage to the suture from handling. Avoid crushing damage due to application of surgical instruments such as clamps, forceps or needle holders.
- For catheterization procedures using a 5F – 8F procedural sheath, use manual compression in the event that bleeding from the femoral access site persists after the use of the Perclose™ ProStyle™ SMCR System to obtain hemostasis.
- For catheterization procedures using a procedural sheath > 8F, use manual compression, compression assisted devices, surgical repair, and / or other appropriate treatment methods in the event that bleeding from the femoral access site persists after the use of the Perclose™ ProStyle™ SMCR System to obtain hemostasis.
- For catheterization procedures using a procedural sheath > 8F, where the operating physician is not a vascular surgeon, it is recommended that a vascular surgeon or a surgeon with vascular training be available during the procedure to perform any necessary vascular surgical intervention.
- If the Perclose™ ProStyle™ Device is used to close and repair multiple access sites in the same vessel, space the access sites apart adequately to minimize sheath-device interference.

MAT-2114590 v3.0
Diamondback 360™ and Diamondback 360 Precision™ Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System
Including the Orbital Atherectomy Device (OAD) with GlideAssist™, Saline Pump, ViperWire Advance™ Coronary Guide Wire, and ViperWire Advance™ with Flex Tip Coronary Guide Wire
INDICATIONS
The Diamondback 360™ Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) is a percutaneous orbital atherectomy system indicated to facilitate stent delivery in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are acceptable candidates for PTCA or stenting due to de novo, severely calcified coronary artery lesions.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Use of the OAS is contraindicated for use in the following situations:
- The ViperWire™ guide wire cannot pass across the coronary lesion.
- The target lesion is within a bypass graft or stent.
- The patient is not an appropriate candidate for bypass surgery, angioplasty, or atherectomy therapy.
- The patient has angiographic evidence of thrombus.
- The patient has only one open vessel.
- The patient has angiographic evidence of significant dissection at the treatment site.
- Women who are pregnant or children.
WARNINGS
- Do not use the OAS if the physician does not have experience in coronary angioplasty at their institution.
- Do not use the OAS if the physician does not have training on using the OAS. Contact a CSI representative for information on training.
- Do not use other commercially-available guide wires with the OAD. Only use the Model GWC-12325LG-FLP ViperWire Advance™ Coronary Guide Wire or GWC- 12325LG-FT ViperWire Advance™ Coronary Guide Wire with Flex Tip with the coronary OAD. The ViperWire™ guide wire is designed for use with all coronary OAD crown and shaft configurations.
- Never operate the OAD without normal saline and ViperSlide™ Lubricant. Continually flowing saline and ViperSlide Lubricant is required for cooling and lubricating the OAD during use in order to avoid overheating and permanent damage to the device and possible injury to the patient.
- Do not use the OAD or the ViperWire™ guide wire if their sterile package barriers are compromised or damaged.
- Do not use device during spasm of the vessel.
- Do not re-sterilize or re-use the OAD. If the OAD is re-sterilized or re-used, the OAD may not function properly potentially leading to serious infection and patient harm and/or death.
- Do not re-sterilize or re-use the ViperWire guide wire or the guide wire torquer. If the ViperWire™ guide wire or torquer is re-sterilized or re-used, the guide wire may not function properly potentially leading to serious infection and patient harm and/or death.
- Never use force to advance the spinning crown as vessel perforation may occur. If any resistance to crown travel is felt, reposition the crown away from the lesion, immediately stop treatment, and use fluoroscopy to assess the vessel for any complications. If it is confirmed there are no complications, reposition the device and advance and retract at a targeted rate of 1 to 3 mm per second.
- Use fluoroscopy to monitor and maintain spacing between the driveshaft and guide wire spring tip throughout the procedure. Always keep more than 5mm of spacing between the distal end of the OAD driveshaft and the proximal end of the guide wire spring tip. If the distance between the driveshaft tip and the ViperWire™ guide wire spring tip is insufficient, the driveshaft tip may contact the guide wire spring tip and result in dislodging the guide wire spring tip.
- Immediately stop using any OAS component should mechanical failure of any component occur before or during the atherectomy procedure. Using damaged components may result in OAS malfunction or patient injury.
- Immediately stop use of the OAD if the device stalls. Review for complications if a stall condition occurs. Do not change to high speed if device stalls on low speed.
- Note: If a stall occurs, the On/Off button is inactive for five seconds. If the On/Off button is pressed during this five second lockout period, the lockout period will begin again.
- Initial treatment for each lesion must start at low speed.
- Do not continue treatment if the wire or the device becomes subintimal.
- Do not operate the OAD if there is a bend, kink, or tight loop in the ViperWire™ guide wire. A bend, kink, or tight loop in the ViperWire™ guide wire may cause damage to and malfunctioning of the device during use.
- Performing treatment in excessively tortuous or angulated vessels or bifurcations may result in vessel damage or device failure requiring retrieval.
- Always keep the crown advancing or retracting, while it is orbiting, by continually moving the crown advancer knob to ensure corresponding (1:1) movement between the crown advancer knob and the orbiting crown.
- Do not start or stop orbiting of the crown when tight in a lesion.
- Once the OAD has reached full speed (as indicated by a stable pitch) continue to maintain a targeted travel rate of 1 to 3 mm per second, and do not exceed 10 mm per second. If the orbiting crown remains in one location it may lead to vessel damage.
- Maximum total treatment time should not exceed 5 minutes. If maximum total treatment time exceeds 5 minutes, the OAD shaft, crown, and ViperWire™ guide wire may begin to exhibit signs of wear and result in a device malfunction and possible injury to patient. A team member should track run time during use to verify total run time is not exceeded.
- Do not advance or retract the orbiting crown by advancing the OAD sheath or handle. Buckling of the ViperWire™ guide wire may occur resulting in vessel perforation or vascular trauma. Always advance the orbiting crown by using the crown advancer knob.
- Do not inject contrast solution into the OAD injection port. Device failure or patient harm may occur.
- Do not attempt aspiration through the OAD or saline line while placed within the body. If saline is pulled out through the OAD or saline line, air may enter the system.
- If air is noticed in the system while the OAD is within the body, discontinue treatment by pressing the OAS Pump power button and carefully remove the OAD driveshaft and crown from the introducer sheath/guide catheter.
- Do not allow body parts or clothing to come into contact with spinning components as the OAD orbits at very high speeds. Physical injury to the user or entanglement of clothing with the crown may occur.
- The OAS was only evaluated in severely calcified lesions; therefore the scientific evidence to support use of the OAS to treat other types of lesions/patients is limited.
- Do not spin the crown in GlideAssist™, with the guide wire brake lever in the unlocked position, without first securing the guide wire by holding it with fingers or by using the guide wire torquer. If using the guide wire torquer, ensure that it is securely fastened to the guide wire before starting to spin the crown. Failure to secure the guide wire when the brake is unlocked could allow the guide wire to spin while in GlideAssist™ mode which may result in patient harm.
PRECAUTIONS
- Do not use the OAD if there is damage to the OAD package or if the OAD has reached its shelf-life expiration date.
- If using an adjustable hemostasis valve with the guide catheter, close the hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss from around the guide catheter while still allowing the OAD sheath to slide through the hemostasis valve. Avoid excessive tightening of the hemostasis valve to prevent damaging the OAD catheter sheath. When inserting or removing the OAD crown or drive shaft through the hemostasis valve, use care not to deform the drive shaft.
- If crown and crown advancer knob movements are not moving correspondingly with one another (1:1 movement), retract and re-advance the crown into the lesion using a travel rate between 1 to 3 mm per second. Repeat retracting and advancing the crown into the lesion until crown to crown advancer knob movement correspondence is observed. If the knob and the crown are not moving together, the crown may be driven into the lesion with too much force and may result in the crown springing forward on exiting the lesion.
- Follow standard institution atherectomy policies and procedures, including those related to anticoagulation, channel blockers, and vasodilator therapy.
- Ensure fluoroscopy provides adequate visualization of the OAS system. Always use fluoroscopy to monitor the guide wire spring tip and driveshaft positions at all times throughout the procedure. If wire movement occurs, it is suggested to reposition the guide wire before advancing the device or continuing treatment.
- Applies to Diamondback 360™ Precision Coronary OAS only: Verify that contrast media injections are not above 400 psi and are not occurring during spinning of the crown.
- Applies to Diamondback 360™ Precision Coronary OAS only: If using a guide catheter smaller than 0.071 inches (1.80 mm), contrast media flow may be reduced.
- A temporary pacing lead may be necessary when treating lesions in the right coronary and circumflex arteries due to the possible occurrence of electrophysiological alternations.
- The risk of the occurrence of a dissection or perforation is increased in severely calcified lesions undergoing percutaneous treatment; therefore, on-site surgical back- up should be included as a clinical consideration. If onsite surgical back-up is not provided, then an agreement with an alternative hospital should be considered, in advance of the procedure, where the patient could be transferred in an emergency situation.
- Do not kink or crush the saline tubing as this will reduce the flow of saline and ViperSlide™ Lubricant to the OAD.
- Continually monitor and check the saline tubing and connections for leaks during the procedure.
- Do not spin the crown while advancing or retracting the crown within a guide catheter or tuohy. Damage to the guide catheter, tuohy, and/or OAD may occur.
- Ensure the OAD strain relief remains straight during atherectomy treatment. If the OAD strain relief does not remain straight, the shaft/sheath can kink.
- Do not sterilize the OAS pump. Sterilizing will damage the OAS pump. The OAS pump is intended to be used and maintained outside of the sterile field. Reference the Instructions for Use on cleaning and disinfecting the OAS pump.
- Do not allow fluid to leak onto electrical connections of the OAS pump.
- Do not spin the crown without a seated and supportive guide catheter
- When treating from a larger lumen to a smaller lumen, make sure the guide catheter is coaxial and that the tip of the OAD has entered the coronary artery to control the initial orbit before engaging the crown; engage the OAD tip into the tight stenosis until low speed has reached its treatment potential prior to initiating treatment with high speed.
- To relieve compression in the driveshaft, lock the crown advancer knob at 1cm from the full back position, advance device over wire to a position proximal from the lesion, deploy the guide wire brake, then unlock the crown advancer knob and move it fully proximal. If the OAD is started with existing compression in the driveshaft it may result in the crown springing forward.
- Do not flip contents of tray into sterile field as damage may occur. Components within tray must be carefully removed and placed into sterile field to avoid damage.
- Ejection fractions less than 25% have not been studied, use with low ejection fractions may require additional precautions due to compromised heart function.

Scoreflex‡ NC Scoring PTCA Catheter
INDICATIONS
The Scoreflex‡ NC Scoring PTCA Catheter is indicated for: Balloon dilatation of a de novo stenotic portion of a coronary artery and in-stent restenosis in coronary arteries in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The use of the Scoreflex‡ NC Scoring PTCA Catheter is contraindicated in the following patient types:
- Patients with an unprotected left main coronary artery.
- Patients with coronary artery spasm in the absence of a significant stenosis.
WARNINGS
When using this type of device, the following warnings should be observed:
- This device is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize and/or reuse, as this can potentially result in compromised device performance and increased risk of cross-contamination.
- This balloon is not intended for the expansion or delivery of a stent.
- PTCA in patients who are not acceptable candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery require careful consideration, including possible hemodynamic support during PTCA, as treatment of this patient population carries special risk.
- To reduce the potential for vessel damage, the inflated diameter of the balloon should approximate the diameter of the vessel just proximal and distal to the stenosis.
- When the catheter is exposed to the vascular system, it should be manipulated while under high-quality fluoroscopic observation. Do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum. If resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding. Applying excessive force to the catheter can result in tip or catheter breakage, catheter kink, or balloon separation.
- Do not twist the catheter shaft in excess of 180 degrees when the tip is constrained.
- Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure (RBP) indicated on the package. The rated burst pressure is based on the results of in vitro testing. At least 99.9 percent of the balloons, (with a 95 percent confidence) will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure. Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over pressurization.
- To reduce the potential for air embolus into the vessel, use only the recommended balloon inflation medium. Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.
- Do not re-straighten a kinked hypotube; straightening a kinked metal shaft may result in breakage of the shaft.
- PTCA should only be performed at hospitals where emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be quickly performed in the event of a potentially injurious or life-threatening complication.
PRECAUTIONS
- Use the catheter prior to the “Use By” date specified on the package.
- Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.

Sapphire‡ NC 24 Coronary
Dilatation Catheter
INDICATIONS
The Sapphire‡ NC 24 Coronary Dilatation Catheter is indicated for:
- Balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.
- Balloon dilatation of a coronary artery occlusion for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
- In-stent restenosis.
- Post-delivery expansion of balloon expandable coronary stents.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The use of Sapphire‡ NC 24 Coronary Dilatation Catheter is contraindicated in the following patient types:
- Patients with an unprotected left main coronary artery.
- Patients with coronary artery spasm in the absence of a significant stenosis.
WARNINGS
When using this type of device, the following warnings should be observed:
- To reduce the potential for vessel damage, the inflated diameter of the balloon should approximate the diameter of the vessel just proximal and distal to the stenosis.
- PTCA in patients who are not acceptable candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery require careful consideration, including possible hemodynamic support during PTCA, as treatment of this patient population carries special risk.
- When the catheter is exposed to the vascular system, it should be manipulated while under high quality fluoroscopic observation. Do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum. If resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.
- Balloon pressure should not exceed the Rated Burst Pressure (RBP) indicated on the package. The RBP is based on the results of in vitro testing. At least 99.9 percent of the balloons, (with a 95 percent confidence) will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure. Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over pressurization.
- PTCA should only be performed at hospitals where emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be quickly performed in the event of a potentially injurious or life-threatening complication.
- Use only the recommended balloon inflation medium. Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.
- This device is designed and intended for single use only. DO NOT reprocess, re-sterilize and/or reuse. Reuse of single-use devices creates a potential risk of patient or user infections. Reuse may lead to impairment of functional performance. Infections and/or limited performance of the device may lead to injury, illness or death in the patient.
- Do not re-straighten a kinked hypotube; straightening a kinked metal shaft may result in breakage of the shaft.
PRECAUTIONS
- Use the catheter prior to the "Use By" date specified on the package.
- Prior to angioplasty, the dilatation catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size is suitable for the specific procedure for which it is being used.
- The catheter system should be used only by physicians trained in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
- During the procedure, appropriate anticoagulant and coronary vasodilator therapy must be provided to the patient as needed. After the procedure, anticoagulant therapy should be continued for a period of time as determined by the physician.
- Do not re-insert the PTCA catheter into the coil dispenser after procedural use.
- The design and construction of these catheters do not provide the user with distal pressure monitoring capability.
- Discard all disposable devices used during this procedure per local requirements for medical device waste disposal.
- Do not use oil-based contrast medium, organic solvents or alcohols; there is a possibility of catheter leak, damage or lubrication loss.
- Use with caution for procedures involving calcified lesions due to the abrasive nature of these lesions.
