What It Is

The Multipro Catheter is a medical device designed for use in venous stenting procedures. It facilitates the placement of stents within the venous system, aiding in the treatment of venous obstructions. The catheter is engineered to navigate the vascular anatomy, providing a conduit for stent delivery.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Percutaneous catheter use for access to or treatment of the vascular system, consistent with FDA product code DQY.
  • Use by trained clinicians in catheter-based vascular procedures under appropriate imaging guidance.

Clinical Applications

  • Percutaneous vascular access during endovascular procedures.
  • Catheter navigation through selected blood vessels for diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
  • Use in hospital catheterization laboratories by interventional radiologists or vascular surgeons.

Reported off-label uses

  • Use as an access or delivery catheter during venous stenting procedures, when compatible with the selected stent system.
  • Use during endovascular treatment of venous stenosis or occlusion.

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 available FDA record does not specify catheter dimensions, working length, tip configuration, or maximum compatible guidewire or device size; clinicians should verify the original labeling before use.
  • Use fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance and standard sterile vascular-access technique.
  • Compatibility with a particular venous stent, guidewire, sheath, contrast agent, or other device must be confirmed from the device labeling and institutional protocol.
  • MRI safety cannot be determined from the available record. Do not assume the catheter is MR Safe or MR Conditional without manufacturer documentation.
  • Potential complications are those associated with percutaneous vascular catheterization, including bleeding, infection, vessel injury, thrombosis, embolization, contrast reaction, and arrhythmia when applicable.
