What It Is

The CPS Aim MediGuide Enabled Inner Catheter is a specialized catheter designed to work with the MediGuide system, which provides real-time navigation and positioning during procedures. This technology enhances the accuracy of catheter placement by utilizing electromagnetic tracking, reducing the need for fluoroscopy and thereby minimizing radiation exposure to both patients and clinicians.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Percutaneous intravascular catheter use for diagnostic or interventional procedures within the vascular system.
  • Use with the MediGuide system to support catheter navigation and localization during procedures.
  • Use by trained clinicians when catheter positioning within the vasculature is required.

Clinical Applications

  • Catheter navigation during venous diagnostic or interventional procedures.
  • Catheter positioning during procedures involving the iliac or central veins.
  • Support for venous stenting procedures when the catheter is used with the compatible MediGuide system.
  • Intravascular catheter placement in patients requiring image-guided venous intervention.

Practical Considerations

  • The catheter is intended for use with the compatible MediGuide system and requires appropriate system setup, calibration and operator training.
  • Available catheter sizes and lengths should be selected according to the target vessel, access route and patient anatomy.
  • Use standard sterile technique and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wire advancement, catheter manipulation and removal.
  • MRI safety status depends on the specific catheter model and labeling; verify MR conditions before scanning and do not assume the device is MRI safe.
  • Potential risks include vascular injury, bleeding, infection, thrombosis, embolization and device malfunction, as with other percutaneous intravascular catheters.
