Instructions for Use
Rebar™ Micro Catheter
CAUTIONS
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale, distribution, and use by or on the order of a physician.
• This device should be used only by physicians with a thorough understanding of angiography and
percutaneous interventional procedures.
DESCRIPTION
The Rebar™ Micro Catheter is an endhole, single-lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a
steerable guidewire into the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer
adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating that
spans the distal portion of the catheter to reduce the friction during use: 130 cm catheter with 85 cm
hydrophilic coating, 145 cm catheter with 95 cm hydrophilic coating, and 153 cm catheter with 100
cm hydrophilic coating. The catheter has a semi-rigid proximal shaft which transitions into the exible
distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. Single or dual radiopaque
markers at the distal end facilitate uoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the catheter is
coated to increase lubricity. The Rebar™ Micro Catheter is packaged with a tip shaping mandrel.

technologies to determine compatibility.
INTENDED PURPOSE / INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Rebar™ Micro Catheter is intended for the delivery of interventional devices or contrast media into the
vasculature of the peripheral and neuro anatomy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• It is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
• The Rebar™ Micro Catheter is contraindicated when, in the medical judgment of the physician, such a
procedure may compromise the patient’s condition.
• The Rebar™ Micro Catheter is contraindicated for neonatal and pediatric use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
NOTE: See package insert for Rebar™ Micro Catheter functional characteristics.
1. Place the appropriate guide catheter following recommended procedures. Connect a one-way
stop-cock to the guide catheter to prevent backow of blood during insertion of catheter. Connect a
hemostatic side arm adapter one way stop-cock to allow for insertion of catheter and to continuously
ush the guide catheter with saline.
NOTE: It is recommended that a guide catheter with a minimum internal diameter of 0.053” be used
with the Rebar™ Micro Catheter.
2. Gently remove the packaging coil for the Rebar™ Micro Catheter from the pouch.
3. Flush the coil with heparinized saline through the female luer attached to the coil.
4. Flush the ID of the catheter with heparinized saline by attaching a saline lled syringe to the catheter
hub.
5. Remove the appropriate steerable guidewire from its packaging and inspect for damage. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions for preparing and using the guidewire.
6. Carefully insert guidewire into the hub of the Rebar™ Micro Catheter and advance into the catheter
lumen.
7. Remove the micro catheter by removing the hub from the clip and gently pulling on the hub.
8. Inspect the catheter prior to use to verify that it is undamaged. Retain the packaging coil for storage of
the catheter when it is not in use during the procedure.
9. Close the one-way stop-cock.
10. Loosen the hemostatic valve.
