The Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters are long-term indwelling peritoneal catheters designed for repeated access through the peritoneal membrane. These devices facilitate peritoneal dialysis by providing a conduit for dialysate exchange, enabling the removal of waste products and excess fluids from the body in patients with renal failure. Constructed for sustained use, they are intended to maintain reliable and secure access over extended periods, supporting continuous or intermittent dialysis therapies.

These catheters are supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation, though they are designed for long-term indwelling use in peritoneal dialysis patients. They are classified under FDA regulation number 876.5630 and fall under device class II. The devices are regulated through the FDA’s 510(k) clearance process, with this submission reviewed by the Gastroenterology and Urology advisory committee. No MRI safety information is specified, and sizes or additional technical specifications are not detailed in the provided data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the primary purpose of the Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters by Thermedics, Inc.?
