Aspiration Catheters
072 Aspiration System
Indications for Use
072 Aspiration Catheter: As part of the 072 Aspiration System, the 072 Aspiration Catheter with a compatible suction pump is indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who failed IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment. Aspiration Tubing: As part of the 072 Aspiration System, the Aspiration Tubing is intended to connect the 072 Aspiration Catheter to a compatible suction pump.

Description
The 072 Aspiration Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter with a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. It includes radiopaque markers on the distal end for angiographic visualization and a Luer hub on the proximal end for attachments for flushing and aspiration. The Delivery Tool is an optional accessory and should be removed prior to aspiration. The package includes the 072 Aspiration Catheter, Delivery Tool, Rotating Hemostasis Valve, and Flow Switch. The Aspiration Tubing is provided in a separate package. The catheter is used in conjunction with a compatible suction pump connected via the Aspiration Tubing.
