Multicath - Code S 8 1207 Oo 8 1208 00 8 1205 20

FDA-Cleared Indications

• Percutaneous catheterization of a vein to establish vascular access.
• Administration of intravenous fluids and medications when venous access is required.
• Use of venous access for patients who require intravenous therapy in hospital care.

Clinical Applications

• Establishing percutaneous venous access in a hospital setting.
• Administering intravenous medications and fluids.
• Providing venous access during surgical or intensive-care treatment.
• Supporting intravenous therapy when repeated peripheral venous access is inadequate.

Reported off-label uses

• Central venous pressure monitoring when the specific catheter configuration and labeling support that use.
• Administration of parenteral nutrition through a suitably positioned central venous catheter.
• Use as venous access during endovascular procedures, when selected and handled according to institutional practice.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

• The record covers multiple Multicath code configurations; catheter size, lumen configuration, length, and exact labeling should be confirmed for the specific catalog number.
• Insertion should be performed by trained healthcare professionals using sterile technique and appropriate imaging or procedural guidance.
• The catheter must be connected to compatible infusion and monitoring equipment, with attention to lumen size, flow requirements, and medication compatibility.
• MRI safety cannot be determined from this FDA record alone; review the current product labeling for the exact catheter and any components before MRI.
• Potential complications include bleeding, infection, thrombosis, catheter malposition, vessel injury, air embolism, and procedure-related complications.
