What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Infusion of therapeutic agents into the venous system.
- Percutaneous catheter access to blood vessels for delivery of fluids, medications, or contrast media, consistent with the device labeling and product code.
Clinical Applications
- Venous infusion of medications or other therapeutic agents.
- Delivery of contrast media during vascular imaging procedures.
- Catheter-based venous procedures requiring controlled infusion through percutaneous vascular access.
Reported off-label uses
- Catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion for selected venous thrombosis cases.

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 catheter sizes, lengths, infusion limits, and connector configuration should be confirmed in the manufacturer’s labeling before use.
- Placement generally requires sterile technique and fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance through a venous access site.
- Use only with compatible infusion pumps, tubing, syringes, and connectors; verify pressure and flow limits before infusion.
- MRI safety is not established from the information provided. Confirm the exact device model and manufacturer labeling before an MRI examination.
- Potential complications include bleeding, infection, venous injury, thrombosis, air embolism, malposition, and medication-related adverse effects. Contraindications and precautions depend on the intended infusion and the patient’s vascular condition.
