The Venovo™ Venous Stent System is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction.
The Venovo™ Venous Stent System is contraindicated for use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to nitinol (nickel-titanium) and tantalum, who cannot receive intraprocedural anti-coagulation therapy, or who are judged to have a lesion that prevents complete inflation of a balloon dilatation catheter or proper placement of the stent or the stent delivery system.
The Venovo™ Venous Stent System is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize and/or reuse the device. Reuse, resterilization, reprocessing and/or repackaging may create a risk to the patient or user, may lead to infection or compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or lead to injury, illness, or death of the patient. Reusing this medical device bears the risk of cross-patient contamination as medical devices – particularly those with long and small lumina, joints, and/or crevices between components – are difficult or impossible to clean once body fluids or tissues with potential pyrogenic or microbial contamination have had contact with the medical device for an indeterminable period of time. The residue of biological material can promote the contamination of the device with pyrogens or microorganisms which may lead to infectious complications or death. Do not use in patients with total venous occlusion that cannot be dilated to allow passage of the guidewire. Do not use the device with contralateral access. Do not use if pouch is opened or damaged. Do not use the device after the “Use By” date specified on the label. Persons with allergic reactions to nitinol (nickel-titanium) alloy and/or tantalum may suffer an allergic response to this implant. Do not expose the delivery system to organic solvents, e.g., alcohol. The stent is not designed for repositioning or recapturing. Stenting across a major branch could cause difficulties during future diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. If a long lesion needs to be stented consider using the longest available stent rather than overlapping stents. If multiple stents are placed in an overlapping fashion, they should be of similar composition (i.e., nitinol). The long-term outcomes following repeat dilatation of endothelialized stents are unknown. The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the arterial system have not been established.
The device is intended for use by physicians who have received appropriate training. During system flushing, observe that saline exits at the catheter tip. The delivery system is not designed for use with power injection systems. Recrossing a partially or fully deployed stent with adjunct devices must be performed with caution. Prior to stent deployment, remove slack from the delivery system catheter outside the patient. If excessive force is felt during stent deployment, do not force the delivery system. Remove the delivery system and replace with a new unit. Store in a cool, dark, dry place. Do not attempt to break, damage, or disrupt the stent after placement.
