Surgitech FR2115W Disposable Hemodialysis Catheter Set1. Key BenefitsThe Surgitech FR2115W IJ catheter set provides temporary vascular access designed for short-term hemodialysis applications. The soft rounded distal tips provide the best protection for the blood vessel, minimizing trauma during insertion and throughout the catheter’s use. Made from soft polyurethane material with double lumen configuration, the catheter ensures adequate blood flow for effective dialysis while maintaining patient safety and comfort.2. IndicationsThe Surgitech FR2115W catheter set is indicated for:Short-term vascular access for hemodialysis (intended use less than 30 days)Emergency dialysis when permanent access is not yet establishedAcute kidney injury requiring immediate dialysis interventionBridge access while awaiting arteriovenous fistula maturationTemporary access for patients initiating chronic hemodialysisHemoperfusion and apheresis treatments requiring vascular access3. How it WorksHemodialysis catheters provide temporary vascular access for hemodialysis until a permanent access is available or until another type of dialysis therapy is substituted. The catheter is a tubular, flexible device designed for relatively short-term use because of an acute need for dialysis or because chronic dialysis is just starting. Catheters are made from soft polyurethane and have double lumens in various lengths, with the tapered soft tip designed to minimize trauma of blood vessel during insertion using the Seldinger technique.4. Quality and SafetyManufacturing Standards: Distributed by Medasia Medical Products Corp., part of their comprehensive dialysis product line. All products are FDA registered, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for safety and performance.Material Safety: Made from soft, medical-grade polyurethane providing excellent biocompatibility and flexibility. The product is designed to prevent coagulation when blood passes through the catheter tube, with smooth surfaces to reduce platelet adhesion.Design Features:Soft rounded distal tips for vessel protectionDouble lumen configuration for arterial and venous accessFrench size and length designations for ease of identificationTapered soft tip to minimize vascular traumaRadiopaque for visualization under fluoroscopy5. Important ConsiderationsTechnical Specifications:French Size: FR21 (approximately 7mm outer diameter)Length: 15cm working length (as indicated by designation 2115W)Lumen Configuration: Double lumen (arterial and venous)Material: Medical-grade polyurethaneType: Straight configurationClassification: Class IIa Medical DeviceInsertion Sites:Internal jugular vein (preferred for short-term access)Subclavian veinFemoral vein (for emergency situations)Placement via Seldinger technique under sterile conditionsUsage Guidelines:Single-use disposable device only – never reuse or resterilizeIntended for short-term use (less than 30 days)Requires trained personnel for insertion and managementStrict aseptic technique essential during insertionRegular assessment for signs of infection or dysfunctionClinical Monitoring:Daily inspection of insertion site for signs of infectionAssessment of catheter function and blood flow adequacyMonitoring for complications (bleeding, thrombosis, infection)Regular evaluation for transition to permanent accessDocumentation of catheter maintenance and performanceContraindications:Known hypersensitivity to polyurethane materialsLocal infection at proposed insertion siteSevere coagulopathy (relative contraindication)Anatomical abnormalities preventing safe insertionComplications to Monitor:Catheter-related bloodstream infectionsThrombosis of catheter or vesselBleeding or hematoma at insertion siteCatheter malposition or migrationPneumothorax (with subclavian or jugular insertion)Storage Requirements:Store in clean, dry environment at room temperatureProtect from direct sunlight and extreme temperaturesMaintain sterile packaging integrity until useCheck expiration dates before useProfessional Considerations:Part of comprehensive dialysis treatment package from MedasiaHighly suitable for patient and physician useDisposable after single use for maximum safetyCompatible with standard hemodialysis equipmentCost-effective temporary access solutionProfessional Note: The Surgitech FR2115W Disposable Hemodialysis Catheter Set provides essential temporary vascular access for patients requiring immediate or short-term hemodialysis. Healthcare providers should ensure proper insertion technique, maintain strict infection control protocols, and plan for transition to permanent access to optimize patient outcomes and minimize complications.ReferencesSurgitech Dialysis Treatment Package – Medasia Medical Products Corp.Hemodialysis Catheter Specifications – General Technical DocumentationPhilippine Medical Supplies – Surgitech Hemodialysis Catheter Product Information“Hemodialysis catheter is a catheter used on a temporary basis for vascular access” – Medical Device ClassificationFDA Registration Standards for Hemodialysis Catheters – Medasia Quality DocumentationShort-Term Vascular Access Guidelines – Clinical Best PracticesSeldinger Technique for Catheter Placement – Standard Clinical Protocols
