Indications for Use:
The ZOLL Quattro® Catheter Mo del IC-4593, connec ted to a
ZOLL Thermal Regulation System, is indicated for use:
•in cardiac surgery adult patients to ach ieve and/or
maintain normothermia during surgery and
recovery/i ntensive care, and
•to induce, maintain and reverse mild hypothermia in
neurosurgery adult patients in surgery and
recovery/i ntensive care.
Safety and Efficacy Considerations:
Central venous catheterization should only be performed by
well-trained personnel well versed in anatomical landmarks
and safe technique. Personnel should also have knowledge
of potential complications. Product designed for single use
only. Do not resterilize or reuse. Do not reinsert, on ce
removed from patient. Do not alter the catheter in any way.
Potential risks with re-use of a single use device include but
are not limited to:
• Potentially life threatening infection
• Toxic shock due to degradation of materials
• Increased risk of thrombosis
• Reduced heat exchange power
• Device failures
Warning: Do not allow catheter to be placed into right atrium
or right ventricle. Placement in right atrium or right ventricle
can result in severe patient injury or death.
Contraindications:
1. The risks of t he catheter are essentially those of a
central line. The catheter should not be used in patients
for whom cen tral line placement is not indi cated.
2. Bleeding diathesis.
3. Active sepsis.
4. Infection or active bleeding at the site of c atheter
insertion.
5. Patients with no vascular access, or vascular system
will not accommodate catheter including patients with
vena cava filters or other implanted impediments to
passage of the catheter.
6. Patients for whom the required temperature monitoring
cannot be established.
7. Hypothe r m ia is contraindi ca te d in patients w ho have
hematological diseases that will be made worse with
hypothermia e.g. any disease that produces
cryoglobulinemia, any hemoglobinopathy in which
hemolytic anaemia can be precipitated by cold
including Sickle Cell Disea se or Thalassem ia.

Instructions for Use
Model IC4593/8700-0660-01
Warnings and Precautio ns:
1. SINGLE USE ONLY. Product designed for single use
only. Do not resterilize or reuse. Do not reinsert, once
removed from patient. Do not alter the c atheter in any
way. Maximum use period: 4 da ys.
2. Do not allow catheter to be placed into right atrium or
right ventricle. Catheter should be positioned so that
the distal tip of catheter is in the inferior vena cava
below its junction with the right atrium and parallel to
the vessel wall. X-ray examination should b e us ed to
ensure that the catheter is not in the right atrium or
ventricle.
3. Cardiac Tamponade: Placement of indwelling catheters
in the right atrium is a practice that may lead to cardiac
perforation and tampon a de . Pr actitioner s pla c i ng
central venous catheters must be aware of this
potentially fatal complication before advancing the
catheter too far relative to patient size. The actual
position of the tip of the indwelling catheter sho ul d be
confirmed by x-ray after insertion. Central venous
catheters should not be placed in the right atrium unless
specific ally required f o r special relativ ely short term
procedures, such as aspiration of air emboli during
neurosurgery. Such procedures are nevertheless risk
prone and should be closely monitored and controlled.
4. Alcohol and acetone can weaken the structure of the
polyureth ane material. Care should therefore be taken
when infusing drugs containing alcohol or when using
alcohol or acetone when performing routine catheter
care and maintenance. Alcohol should not be used to
declot the catheter.
5. Use of a syringe smaller than 10 ml to irrigate or declot
an occluded catheter may cause intraluminal leakage or
catheter rupture.
6. Caution: If blood is observed within the circuit
circulating the sterile saline, stop the procedure.
7. The catheter is coated with Heparin. This may induce
or aggravate pre-existing Heparin induced
thrombocytopenia (HIT).
8. Central venous catheterization should only be
performed by well-trained personnel well versed in
anatomical landmarks and safe technique. Personnel
should also have knowledge of potential complications.
9. Catheter shoul d be placed via a femoral vein approach
only.
10. Possible complications with central venous catheters
include: atrial or ventricular perforation, cardiac
tamponad e, air embolism, catheter embolism, thoracic
duct laceration, bacte r e m ia, sept icemia, thrombosis,
inadvertent arterial puncture, hematoma formation,
hemorrhage, nerve damage and dysrhythmia.
11. All Luer-Lock connections and covers must be securely
tightened to prevent air embolism or fluid or blood loss.
12. Never use exces sive force in moving the catheter or
guidewire. If resistance is encountered, an x-ray should
be performed to identify the reason for the resistance.
13. Passage of t he guidewire into the right heart can cause
dysrhythmias, right bundle branch block, vessel wall,
atrial or ventricular perforation.
14. Use only sterile normal sali ne for catheter p r iming and
as the circulating fluid in the ca theter.
15. Catheter should be routinely inspected for flow rate,
security of dressing, correct catheter positi on and for
secure Luer-Lock connection. Use centimeter markings
to identify if the catheter position has changed.
16. Only x-ray examination can ensure that the cat heter tip
has not ent ered the heart or no longer lies par allel to the
vessel wall. If catheter position has changed, perform
an x-ray examination to confirm catheter tip position.
17. For blood sampling, temporarily shut off remaining
infusion ports through which solutions are being
infused.
18. Use only a 30cc or smaller s yringe for blood sampling.
19. Use only ZOLL suture tab and clip provided in kit to
prevent catheter damage.
20. Do not infuse into the teal-green Luer-Lock
connections.
21. Use care when infusing drugs that may be affected by
cool temperatures (as low as 4ºC). Mannitol containing
solutions are temperature sensitive and must not be
delivere d through the Quattro
rapid push of up to a concen tration of 20% mannitol
solution followed by saline flush. Higher than a 20%
concentration of mannitol or drip or infusion pump
delivery of mannitol must be done v ia a separate line.
22. When connecting infusion sets/injection systems to
ZOLL Catheters do not ex ceed 100 psi/ 68 9 kPa.
23. Not intend ed for pediatri c o r neonatal use.
24. For patients being made hypothermic, the hypothermia
itself may exa cerbate some d isease states. Care should
be taken to properly monitor patient homeostasis du ring
hypothermia.
•Cardiac rhythm disturbances – both bradycardia
and ventricular tachyarrhythmia.
•Clotting and coagulations function. Patients at
risk for disturbances of their clotting or
coagulation function should be closely monitored
during hypothermia.
•Blood gas and pH analysis. Hypothermia
modifies resting pH and PaCO
should be aware that of the eff ect of temperature
upon the result.
•Prolonged hypothermia depresses the immune
response and lung function.
WARNING: INTRALUMINAL LEAKAGE
Intraluminal leakage between the saline lumen and infusion
lumens is an uncommon but potential catheter failure. In the
event of such a failure, ster ile saline from the cooling circuit
will be introduced into the patient. Intraluminal leakage will
usually be associated with a fluid loss alarm which will stop
the system. ALWAYS INVESTIGATE FLUID LEVEL
ALARMS. The cooling circuit is a closed loop system –
usually fluid loss alarms indicate a breach somewhere in this
closed loop. With any fluid loss alarm, check both the
integrity of the catheter and the Start-Up Kit (see below).

2. Warning: Never inject positive pressure into the
inflow hub with the outflow luer cap in place.
3. Gently inject saline through catheter until it begins to
exit from outflow luer.
4. Using 5 cc or larger syringe, flush the distal infusion
lumen with sterile saline. Leave the dist al luer
uncapped for guidewire passage.
5. Remove catheter membrane cover . If there is
resistance in removing the membrane cover from the
catheter, flush the membrane cover with sterile saline.
Inspect ca theter to assure that air has been p urged from
the heat exchange membrane. Inspect the catheter for
leaks.
6. Warning: Do not cut the catheter to alter lengt h .
Catheter Insertion:
1. Obtain femoral venous access using standard
percutaneous techniques. Access should be mainta i ne d
with a .032" guidewire. See sp ecial instructions for
Guidewires.
2. Warning: Do not attempt to re-insert a partially or
completely withdrawn OTN (over the needle)
introducer needle from its catheter.
3. Caution: Do not use a guidewire larger than .032"

12. Caution: Do not clamp or occlude inflow or outflow
lines. This can cause line blockage and possible
failure.
13. Secure and dress insertio n site and catheter temporari l y.
14 Verify catheter tip position by chest x-ray immediately
after placement. X-ray exam must show the catheter
located in the IVC with the distal end of the catheter
parallel to the vena cava wall. If the catheter tip is
malpositioned, reposition and reverify.
15. Proximal radiopaque marker indicates proximal end of
balloons to ensure that balloons reside completely in
vessel. If catheter is malpositioned, reposition and
reverify.
16. Secure ca theter to patient. Use juncture h u b side wings
as primary suture site to minimize the risk of catheter
migration.
17. The ZOLL suture tab and clip can also be used as an
additional attachment point. Assure that catheter bod y
is secure and does not slide.
18. Caution: Use on l y the ZOLL suture tab and clip
provided in the kit. Catheter damage may result if
other tabs or clips are used.
19. Caution: Do not suture directly to the outside
diameter of the catheter to minimize the risk of
cutting or damaging the catheter or impeding
catheter flow.
20. Dress puncture site per hospital protocol. Maintain the
insertion site with regular meticulous redressing using
aseptic technique.
21. Record on the patient's chart the indwelling catheter
length using the centimeter marks on the catheter shaft

Catheter Removal:
1. Stop all pumping of saline through the catheter.
2. Disconnect Start-Up Kit from ca theter. Uncap or leave
uncapped the inflow and outflow lumens of the
cooling circuit (coo lin g ci rcu it ON L Y ) . This will
allow residual saline within the circuit to be expressed.
As catheter is withdrawn, the balloons are compressed.
Saline within the balloon s must be free to pass out of
the balloon or the balloon will not deflate making the
catheter difficult to remove.
3. Place patient in supine position. Remove dressing.
Remove sutures from sutur e site.
4. Slowly remove catheter from patient. As catheter exits
the site apply pressure with a dressing imp er meable to
air, e.g. v aseline gauze.
5. Warning: Do not move catheter if resistance is felt.
Check to ensure that the inflow and outflow lumens
of the cooling circuit are NOT capped. If they are
capped, uncap them and try removing the catheter
again. If resistance is still encountered, an x-ray
should be performed to identify the reason for the
resistance.

Special Instructions for Guidewires
Note: This information applies only to the use of guidewires
in the Seldinger technique of catheter placement in the
vasculature.
Note: This procedure should be performed only after a
thorough review of technical references, wh ich emphasize
precautions, contr aindications, and risks in much greater
detail.
This spring guidewire was designed for single patient –
one time use only.
It is recommended that guidewires be discarded after one
use. No cleaning agents or techniques will complet el y
remove residual material from the guidewire after use.
INSPECTION
Guidewires should be routinely inspected prior to use and
discarded should any deformities be present in the guidewire.
Guidewire placement should be routinely monitored by x-ray
or fluoroscopic procedure.
CAUTIONS
Because of the delicate and f ragile nature of guidewires,
extra care in handling must be taken. Avoid bending or
kinking.
During storage or procedures avoid coiling guidewires in less
than 8-inch diameters as smaller diameters place unnecessary
stress on the guidewires. The provided dispenser is the best
means of storage and handling of the guidewire.
Should resistance occur during insertion, DO NOT advance
guidewire.
Avoid withdrawing guidewire through me ta l needles;
guidewires may shear or PTFE coating may scrape off
against the needle bevel.
Movable core of guidewire should not be advanced while
guidewire is in patient as this could cause damage to the
guidewire and possible injury to the vessel.
Sufficient guidewire length must remain exposed to maintain
firm grip on guidewires at all times.
PTFE coated guidewires must never be subject to ultra-sonic
cleaning or irradiation sterilization.

MRI Information .
The following models of the ZOLL Heat Exchange Catheters have been determined to be MR-Conditional (formerly classi fied as
MRI-safe) according to the terminology specified in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International,
Designation: F2503-05. Standard Practice for Marking M ed ical Devices and O ther Items for Saf ety in the Magnetic Resonance
Environment. ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor D rive, PO Box C700, West Conshohock en, Pennsylvania, 2005.
1. Cool Line
2. Icy
3. Quattro
Non-clinical testing demonstrated that these catheters are MR Conditiona l . A patient with this implant can b e scanned safely
immediately after placement under the following conditions:
Magnetic Field Interactions
For magnetic field interactions,
-Static magnetic field of 1.5-Tesla or less
-Maximum spatial gradient magnetic field of 2.4 Tesla/meter or less
MRI-Related Heating
In non-clinical testing, these catheters produced the following temperature rises during MRI performed for 20-min in 1.5-Tesla
(1.5-Tesla/64-MHz, General electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) MR systems, as follows:
Highest temperature change MRI Condition
+0.6˚C1.5-T/64-MHz
Therefore, the MRI-related heating experiments for these catheters at 1.5-Tesla using a transmit/receive RF body coil at MR system
reported whole body averaged SARs of 2.0-W/kg, indicated that the greatest amount of heating that occurred in association with these
specific conditions was equal to or less than 0.6˚C at 1.5-Tesla.
Artifact Information
MR image quality may be compromised if the area of interest is in the same area or relatively close to the position of these catheters.
The artifact size information is, as follows:
