Medical Surgical Concepts
FDA Clearance Information
This device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on May 27, 1987. It is manufactured by Medical Surgical Concepts and classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Intravenous administration of medications
- Intravenous administration of fluids
- Establishment of central venous access when multiple intravenous infusions are required
Clinical Applications
- Administering multiple intravenous medications or fluids through separate lumens
- Providing central venous access during critical care
- Providing central venous access during major surgery
- Separating infusions that are not compatible when used according to labeling and institutional protocols
Reported off-label uses
- Administration of parenteral nutrition through a designated lumen when the catheter and formulation are compatible
- Central venous pressure monitoring when the catheter configuration and monitoring equipment support it
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
- Available catheter sizes and lengths should be selected according to the patient's anatomy, the access vein, and the intended therapy.
- Placement is commonly performed using sterile technique and imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, with the catheter tip position confirmed according to institutional practice.
- Medication and fluid compatibility should be checked before using separate lumens; each lumen requires appropriate flushing and securement.
- Risks include bleeding, arterial puncture, infection, thrombosis, air embolism, catheter malposition, and vessel or lung injury depending on the access site.
- MRI safety is not determined by the product name alone. Confirm the exact catheter materials and labeling before an MRI examination, and follow the facility's MRI safety protocol.
