AngioJet™ Thrombectomy Set (Thrombectomy Set)
A bag of sterile, heparinized saline (not included) supplies the pump with
saline through the saline delivery tubing. The pump pressurizes the saline. The
Thrombectomy Set uses this pressurized, high-velocity saline to create a low-
pressure zone at the catheter tip. This allows the catheter to break up and remove
thrombus. The waste tubing transports the thrombus debris from the catheter to the
collection bag for ultimate disposal.

by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
•
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or
provided by Boston Scientific could result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the AngioJet System
and result in improper operation.
•
The Console contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
personnel.
•
Removal of outer covers may result in electrical shock.
PRECAUTIONS
•
The AngioJet System should be used only by operators who have received
appropriate training on its installation and use.
•
Use the AngioJet Ultra Console only with an AngioJet Thrombectomy Set.
•
The AngioJet System requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic
emissions and immunity and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the information included in the Electronic and Electromagnetic
Guidance Section.
•
This device may cause electromagnetic interference with other devices when
in use. Do not place the AngioJet System near sensitive equipment when
operating.
•
