• THIS DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR SINGLE USE ONLY. Discard after one procedure. Structural integrity and/or function may be impaired after reuse or cleaning.
• The catheter should be manipulated under fluoroscopy only. Do not attempt to move the catheter without observing the resultant tip response.
• Never advance or withdraw an intralumenal device against resistance until the cause of resistance is determined by fluoroscopy. If the cause cannot be determined, withdraw the catheter. Movement of the micro catheter against resistance may result in damage to the micro catheter, or the vessel.
