Important safety information

Mahurkar™* acute dual lumen catheter is intended for short-term central venous access for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion.

Remove the catheter as soon as it is no longer needed and for femoral inserted catheters they should not be implanted longer than three to four days maximum per K-DOQI guidelines. Do not use catheter in thrombosed vessels or for subclavian puncture when a ventilator is in use.

Mahurkar™* acute triple lumen catheter is intended for short-term central venous access for hemodialysis, apheresis, infusion, central venous pressure monitoring and pressure injection of contrast media.

Remove the catheter as soon as it is no longer needed and for femoral inserted catheters they should not be implanted longer than three to four days maximum per K-DOQI guidelines. Do not use catheter in thrombosed vessels or for subclavian puncture when a ventilator is in use.
