CS Refstar Catheter (D- and F-Curves), Models D-1285-01 and D-1285-02

The CS Refstar Catheter (D/F-Curves) is designed specifically for electrophysiological mapping and ablation procedures within the cardiovascular system. Its deflectable tip, controlled via a proximal handpiece, allows clinicians to navigate cardiac chambers with precision, enabling accurate recording of electrical activity or targeted delivery of therapeutic energy during arrhythmia treatments.

This catheter is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile product. This means each catheter is intended for one procedure only and must be sterilized and prepared according to the manufacturer’s guidelines before use. Sterilization is critical to ensure patient safety and device efficacy during electrophysiology interventions.

The D-1285-01 and D-1285-02 models differ by their tip deflection curves: the D-1285-01 features a D-curve deflection, while the D-1285-02 features an F-curve deflection. These distinct curves accommodate varying procedural needs, allowing clinicians to select the catheter best suited for the anatomical challenges of their specific electrophysiology case.

The CS Refstar Catheter is explicitly designed for single-use only. This classification ensures patient safety by eliminating risks associated with repeated sterilization and reuse, which can compromise device integrity or introduce contamination. Always follow manufacturer instructions for preparation and use.

Storage instructions are provided by the manufacturer to maintain the catheter’s integrity and sterility (if applicable post-preparation). Generally, single-use medical devices like this should be stored in a clean, dry environment, protected from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and physical damage. Always refer to the included packaging or manufacturer guidelines for specific storage recommendations.
