Description Power-Trialysis™ Short-Term Dialysis Catheters are made of thermosensitive polyurethane, which softens when exposed to body tempera- ture. The catheter is divided into three separate lumens permitting continuous blood flow. Both the venous (blue) and the arterial (red) lumens may be used for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis treatments.

Page 3: Indications For Use
Indications For Use The Power-Trialysis™ Short-Term Dialysis Catheter, with a third internal lumen for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring, is indicated for use in attaining short-term (less than 30 days) vascular access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis treatments. - Page 4 Warnings (cont.) • To avoid damage to vessels and viscus, prolonged infusion pressures must not exceed 25 psi (172 kPa). The use of a 10 mL or larger syringe is recommended because smaller syringes generate more pressure than larger syringes. NOTE: A three pound (13.3 Newton) force on the plunger of a 3 mL syringe generates pressure in excess of 30 psi (206 kPa) whereas the same three pound (13.3 Newton) force on the plunger of a 10 mL syringe generates less than 15 psi (103 kPa) of pressure.
