Crosser® CTO Recanalization Catheter
Indications: The Crosser® Catheter is indicated to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions,
including chronic total infrainguinal occlusions.
The Crosser® Catheter is only intended for use with the Crosser®
Generator. Refer to the Crosser® Generator Manual of Operations for
proper use.
Contraindications: None known.
Warnings and Precautions: 1) The Crosser® Recanalization
System should only be used by individuals trained in percutaneous
transluminal angioplasty (PTA or PTCA). 2) Prior to use, the packaging
and product should be inspected for signs of damage. Never use
damaged product or product from a damaged package. 3) DO
NOT activate the Crosser® Recanalization System without proper
irrigation. Make sure to establish proper irrigation prior to introduction
into guide catheter. Always use REFRIGERATED SALINE. 4) The
Crosser® Recanalization System should be used in conjunction with
proper anticoagulation agents. 5) Never advance or withdraw the
Crosser® Catheter without proper fluoroscopic guidance. 6) It is
not recommended to use the Crosser® Catheter over guidewires
with polymer-jacketed distal ends. 7) Do not exceed 5 minutes
of activation time as Crosser® Catheter malfunction may occur. If
5 minutes of activation time is achieved, exchange for a second
Crosser® Catheter before resetting the Crosser® Generator. 8) When
manipulating the Crosser® Catheter, the Catheter shaft may become
warm to the touch. A warm feeling is normal, however, if the Catheter
shaft becomes hot discontinue use immediately and withdraw from
patient. Once removed from the patient confirm that irrigation is
flowing. 9) When using the Crosser® Catheter in tortuous anatomy,
the use of a support catheter is recommended to prevent kinking
or prolapse of the Crosser® Catheter tip. Kinking or prolapse of the
tip could cause catheter breakage and/or malfunction. 10) When
using the Crosser® Catheter 14S or 14P with the MicroSheath® XL
Support Catheter Tapered, the Crosser® Catheter can be advanced
approximately 15 cm from the tip of the support catheter before
resistance is encountered due to the taper on the Crosser® Catheter
aligning with the taper on the support catheter. A taper lock-up
marker (single marker on the Crosser® Catheter shaft) is located
127 cm from the distal tip for the 146 cm Crosser® Catheter and
87 cm from the distal tip for the 106 cm Crosser® Catheter. The
taper lock-up marker can be used as an indicator that the tapers
on the catheters are nearing alignment; advance the Crosser®
Catheter slowly. Do not continue to advance the Crosser® Catheter
if resistance is encountered. 11) Position Foot Switch and cable to
minimize potential tripping hazard. 12) Ensure Crosser® Generator
is securely mounted to IV pole to reduce risk of falling. 13) Should
high frequency vibration fail to stop when foot switch is released,
power off Crosser® Generator or unplug from power receptacle.
14) Never activate the Crosser® Generator without a Crosser®
Catheter attached to the Transducer. 15) The Crosser® Catheter is
designed and intended for single patient use only. 16) Store in a
cool, dry, dark place. Rotate inventory so that the catheters and other
dated products are used prior to the “Use By” date. 17) This device
has been designed for single use only. Reusing this medical device

8) Diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer used in some polyvinyl
chloride medical devices. DEHP has been shown to produce a range
of adverse effects in experimental animals, notably liver toxicity and
testicular atrophy. Although the toxic and carcinogenic effects of DEHP
have been well established in experimental animals, the ability of this
compound to produce adverse effects in humans is controversial. Bard
has not assessed any related adverse effects in relation to the exposure
to DEHP when this device is used with neonates, infants, pregnant or
breast feeding women. It is the responsibility of the physician to assess
risks associated with the use of a device containing DEHP.
Precautions: 1) Carefully inspect the catheter prior to use to verify
that catheter has not been damaged during shipment and that its size,
shape and condition are suitable for the procedure for which it is to
be used. Do not use if product damage is evident. 2) The Sidekick®
and Usher® Catheters should only be used by physicians trained
in percutaneous intravascular techniques and procedures. 3) Verify
compatibility of the product’s inner and outer diameters and lengths
with other devices before use. 4) Refer to package label for tip shape
for the Sidekick® and Usher® Catheters. Do not attempt to manipulate
or re shape the tip configurations. 5) When using a Rotating Hemostatic
