Spectranetics Quick-Cross Support Catheter
Instructions for Use
1. Description
The Spectranetics Quick-Cross Support Catheters are intravascular catheters, available in 9 models. All models feature 3 radiopaque markers spaced equally along the distal shaft to aid in estimating geometry within the vascular system. The distal radiopaque marker is positioned within 3 mm of the distal catheter tip. A standard female luer connector is placed on the proximal end of each model. The distal 40 cm of each catheter model is coated with a lubricious, hydrophilic coating.
Model numbers 518-032 and 518-065 have a shaft of varying stiffness with a proximal shaft diameter of 3.0 Fr. tapering to a distal shaft diameter of 2.0 Fr and are compatible with a 0.014 inch or smaller guidewire.
Model numbers 518-033, 518-034, and 518-035 have a shaft of varying stiffness with a proximal shaft diameter of 3.4 Fr. tapering to a distal shaft diameter of 2.3 Fr and are compatible with a 0.018 inch or smaller guidewire.
Model numbers 518-036, 518-037, 518-038, and 518-066 have a shaft of varying stiffness with a proximal shaft diameter of 4.8 Fr. tapering to a distal shaft diameter of 3.8 Fr and are compatible with a 0.035 inch or smaller guidewire.
2. Indications for Use
The Spectranetics Quick-Cross Support Catheters are guidewire exchange and infusion devices designed for use in the vascular system. The catheters are intended to support a guidewire during access of vasculature, allow for exchange of guidewires, and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents.

4. Contraindications
No known contraindications.
5. Warnings
- This catheter should only be used by physicians qualified to perform percutaneous, vascular interventions.
- Catheter manipulation should only occur under fluoroscopy.
- The catheter should not be advanced through an area of resistance unless the source of resistance is identified by fluoroscopy and appropriate steps are taken to reduce or remove the obstruction.
- The catheter should not be advanced into a vessel having a diameter smaller than the catheter outer diameter.
6. Precautions
- DO NOT resterilize or reuse this device, as these actions can compromise device performance or increase the risk of cross-contamination due to inappropriate reprocessing. Reuse of this single-use device could lead to serious patient injury or death and voids manufacturer warranties.
- Maximum infusion pressure is 300 psi.
- The catheter is designed and intended for intravascular use only.
- This catheter is designed and intended for one-time use only.
- Careful inspection before use should verify that the catheter has not been damaged in shipment and that its condition is suitable for the procedure.
- Only use guidewires of the recommended diameter and length.
- If the catheter is used for infusion, reference the table of flow rates and ensure infusion pressure does not exceed the recommendations.
- Avoid introducing air or any other gas through the catheter into the vascular system.
7. Adverse Events
Vascular catheterization and/or vascular interventions may result in complications including but not limited to:
- Vessel dissection, perforation, rupture or total occlusion
- Unstable angina
- Embolism
- Hypo/hypertension
- Acute myocardial infarction
- Arrhythmia, including ventricular fibrillation
- Death
8. How Supplied
This device has been sterilized using Radiation and is supplied STERILE. The devices are designated and designed for SINGLE USE ONLY and must not be resterilized and/or reused.
8.1 Sterilization
The sterility of the product is guaranteed only if the package is unopened and undamaged. Before use, visually inspect the sterile package to ensure that the seals have not been broken. Do not use the catheter if the integrity of the package has been compromised. Do not use catheter if its "Use Before Date," found on package labeling, has been passed.
8.2 Transportation and Storage
Keep dry. Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from direct sunlight and high temperature (greater than 60°C or 140°F).
8.3 Inspection Prior to Use
Before use, examine carefully for defects, all of the equipment to be used. Do not use any equipment if it is damaged or unintentionally opened.
9. Compatibility
See the table in Specifications. After use, dispose of all equipment in accordance with applicable specific requirements relating to hospital waste, and potentially bio-hazardous materials.
10. Directions for Use
Procedure Set-Up
Follow the "Directions for Use" section below.
Note: Follow instructions for use for all equipment to be used with the Quick-Cross Support catheters. For example, guiding catheters, introducer sheaths, and guidewires.
- Preparation: Using sterile technique, open the sterile package. Gently remove the protective hoop with the catheter from the pouch. Fill a sterile standard luer-lock syringe with sterile saline. Before removing the catheter from the hoop, connect the syringe to the catheter proximal luer fitting, flush the catheter and allow the saline to fill the hoop. Set catheter in hoop aside until ready for use.
- Insertion: Through a previously inserted, appropriately sized guiding catheter or introducer sheath, introduce the catheter over an appropriate sized guidewire (see specifications) using standard technique.
- Advancement: Use fluoroscopic guidance when advancing the catheter to the desired location within the vasculature.
- Removal: Gently withdraw the catheter using standard technique, being careful to maintain guidewire position if the guidewire is to remain in place.
- Infusion: To perform infusion, withdraw the guidewire and reference the chart below. Note: Do not exceed 300 psi inlet infusion pressure.
