The AngioJet™ Ultra Thrombectomy Set
(Thrombectomy Set - Several models available)
The single-use, disposable Thrombectomy Set includes:
• Catheter
• Pump
• Salinedeliverytubingandwastetubing
• Collectionbag
Figure 2. Thrombectomy Set
A bag of sterile, heparinized saline (not included) supplies the pump with
saline through the saline delivery tubing. The pump pressurizes the saline. The
Thrombectomy Set uses this pressurized, high-velocity saline to create a low-
pressure zone at the catheter tip. This allows the catheter to break up and remove
thrombus. The waste tubing transports the thrombus debris from the catheter to the
collection bag for ultimate disposal.
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Console is intended for use only in conjunction with an AngioJet Ultra
Thrombectomy Set. Refer to the individual Thrombectomy Set Directions for Use
manual for specific clinical applications.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Refer to the individual Thrombectomy Set Directions for Use manual for specific
