The Cardiva Catalyst III consists of a sterile disposable Catalyst III Wire and a sterile disposable Catalyst Clip. The Cardiva Catalyst III is specifically designed for use with heparinized patients. The Cardiva Catalyst III System with Protamine Sulfate is intended to promote hemostasis at arteriotomy sites as an adjunct to manual compression in heparinized patients. The Cardiva Catalyst III is indicated for use in patients undergoing diagnostic and/or interventional femoral artery catheterization procedures, using 5F, 6F or 7F introducer sheaths.
A collection of hand-operated instruments, which includes a pharmaceutical agent, intended for the percutaneous closure of a femoral artery or vein puncture site, following a catheterization procedure, in patients using an anticoagulant medication (e.g., heparin). The collection typically consists of a catheter/sheath which elutes the pharmaceutical agent, intended to locally reverse the effect of the anticoagulant, and a haemostatic plug intended to be temporarily placed within the artery; implantable devices are not included. This is a single-use device.
