Information on Medicinal Substances in the Device:

How the Device Achieves its Intended Mode of Action: Hemodialysis tubes provide access through the vein or artery. The tube is thin and flexible and goes into a big vein near the center of the body. There are two openings in the tube. One opening takes out the blood and sends it to a machine that cleans it. The other opening puts the clean blood back into the body. This tube is used when someone needs to have their blood cleaned right away, and they can't use a different kind of tube. This tube is only used for a short time.

Cleaning (Sterilization) Information: Contents are clean and will not cause fever in unopened, undamaged package. Sterilized by Ethylene Oxide.

5. Summary of Clinical Evaluation and Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up

Clinical Background of Device

The Subclavian catheter has been available since 2001. The CE Mark was received in March 2001. All models included are planned for distribution in the European Union.

Clinical Evidence for CE-Marking

The clinical literature review identified 4 articles relating to the safety and/or performance of the subject device when used as intended. These articles included approximately 515 cases. Findings from the clinical literature and data activities support the performance of the subject device. All data on the Subclavian catheter has been evaluated. When you use the device as intended, the good things it does are more than the bad things it might cause. This device helps people who have kidney problems get hemodialysis when other treatments are not right for them.
