Demonstrated Successin the PATRIOT Clinical Study6

The Challenge· 100% of lesions were resistant to conventional guidewire techniques

· 75% of lesions were calcified

· 55.7% of lesions had complex CTO morphology

Challenge Accepted· 83.5% success of complete lesion crossing

· Zero CROSSER® related clinical perforations

· 2 minutes, 6 seconds average device activation time

Challenges of a CTO

· CTO procedure failures are primarily due to the inability to:1

· Penetrate proximal cap

· Navigate side branches

· Re-enter distal true lumen

· Failure to cross lesions, with possible procedure failure, may lead to important burdens such as lengthy procedures, increased radiation exposure, periprocedural complications, and repeat intervention2,3

· Clinical literature has shown CTO crossing success rates of 5% to 66% with primary wire-catheter1

· This may result in sub-intimal deflection and subsequent dissection which may impair and isolate new lumen from collateral circulation4,5

Before injecting, be sure to clear air trapped in the syringe, infusion line and the CROSSER® Catheter. Do not introduce the CROSSER® Catheter into the patient until all air has been purged from the infusion line and the CROSSER® Catheter. A steady stream of saline exiting from the tip of the CROSSER® Catheter will be observed once all air has been purged.PORTER® GuidewireIndications: The PORTER® Guidewires are intended for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.Contraindications: The PORTER® Guidewire is not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. Patients judged not acceptable for percutaneous intervention (PCI).Precautions: Failure to follow the instructions may compromise guidewire performance and result in complications. Prior to use, confirm compatibility of guidewire outer diameter with the balloon catheter. The tip section of the guidewire has a proper orientation for shaping. Identify the flexing plane before shaping. Shape in the same plane as that for flexure. Guidewire advancement, withdrawal, and torquing should be monitored by fluoroscopy. These guidewires have stiff distal ends. Therefore the risk of perforation or injury when using these wires is higher. These wires must be operated carefully. Use the most flexible guidewire that will treat the lesion i.e. the guidewire with the smallest flexibility number and take due care to minimize the risk of perforation or other damage to the blood vessels.Warning: A guidewire is a delicate instrument and must not be advanced, withdrawn, or torqued if resistance is met. Guidewire manipulations must always be observed under fluoroscopy. If the guidewire is removed and is to be re-inserted, it must be inspected for signs of damage (weakened or kinked segments) prior to re-introduction. Do not re-introduce if guidewire is weakened or kinked.SEEKER

Do not use if sterile barrier is opened or damaged. 2) This device has been designed for single patient use only. Reusing this medical device bears the risk of cross patient contamination as medical devices, particularly those with long and small lumina, joints, and/or crevices between components are difficult or impossible to clean once body fluids or tissues with potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination have had contact with the medical device for an indeterminable period of time. The residue of biological material can promote the contamination of the device with pyrogens or microorganisms which may lead to infectious complications. 3) Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilize. After resterilization, the sterility of the product is not guaranteed because of an indeterminable degree of potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination which may lead to infectious complications. Cleaning, reprocessing and/or resterilization of the present medical device increases the probability that the device will malfunction due to potential adverse effects on components that are influenced by thermal and/or mechanical changes. 4) When the catheter is exposed to the vascular system, it should be manipulated while under high quality fluoroscopic observation. Movement of the product without fluoroscopic guidance may result in damage to the product or vasculature or cause vessel perforation. 5) Manipulating or torquing a product against resistance may cause damage to the product or vasculature or cause vessel perforation. Never advance, withdraw or torque a catheter which meets resistance. 6) Flush the catheter prior to inserting and reinserting the product to prevent air from entering catheter system. 7) After use, this product may be a potential biohazard. Handle and dispose of in accordance with acceptable medical practices and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations. 8) Diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer used in some polyvinyl chloride medical devices. DEHP has been shown to produce a range of adverse effects in experimental animals, notably liver toxicity and testicular atrophy. Although the toxic and carcinogenic effects of DEHP have been well established in experimental animals, the ability of this compound to produce adverse effects in humans is controversial. Bard has not assessed any related adverse effects in relation to the exposure to DEHP with neonates, infants, pregnant or breast feeding women. It is the responsibility of the physician to assess risks associated with the use of a device containing DEHP.Precautions: 1) Carefully inspect the catheter prior to use to verify that catheter has not been damaged during shipment and that its size, shape and condition are suitable for the procedure for which it is to be used. Do not use if product damage is evident. 2) The SIDEKICK® and USHER® Catheters should only be used by physicians trained in percutaneous intravascular techniques and procedures. 3) Verify compatibility of the product’s inner and outer diameters and lengths with other devices before use. 4) Refer to package label for tip shape for the SIDEKICK® and USHER® Catheters. Do not attempt to manipulate or re shape the tip configurations. 5) When using a Rotating Hemostatic Valve (RHV) in place of the hemostatic valve provided with the product, do not over tighten the RHV. A tight RHV may damage the CROSSER® Catheter. Use extra caution when using a self sealing RHV. 6) Flushing through the sideport of the hemostatic valve is not recommended when the CROSSER® Catheter is in place as the infusate may leak from the hemostatic valve. 7) GeoAlign® Marking System is designed to be used as an additional reference tool to accompany the interventionalist standard operation procedure. The use of fluoroscopic imaging is recommended following positioning of the catheter to the target lesion and prior to device activation.Adverse Effects: Use of the SIDEKICK® and USHER® catheters may give rise to the following complications: • Hemorrhage, Hematoma, Ischemia • Vessel perforation/dissection • Allergic reaction to contrast medium • Vascular occlusion, thrombosis • Infection • Vessel erosion, spasms • Embolism • Puncture site hematoma, pain and tenderness.
