Overview

When your patient's therapy needs include a central line along with acute dialysis, choose the Power-Trialysis™ Slim-Cath™ Catheter. It is indicated for use in attaining short-term (less than 30 days) vascular access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and apheresis treatments. The catheter is intended to be inserted in the jugular, femoral, or subclavian vein as required. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/sec for power injection of contrast media.

In today's environment, reducing exposure to the clinician and the patient is extremely important. Having a central line integrated within an acute dialysis catheter may reduce clinician exposure with fewer dressings to maintain, and may help improve patient experience by having fewer vascular access sites.

The Power-Trialysis™ Catheter family is made up of 12 and 13 Fr triple-lumen, short-term dialysis catheters that come in various lengths and kit configurations.

 All Power-Trialysis™ Catheters are offered in standard kits as well as maximal barrier precaution trays.

Features and Benefits

Flexibility

  • The oval catheter shaft demonstrated better kink resistance than competitive triple-lumen dialysis catheters*
  • The thermosensitive polyurethane catheter shaft provides stiffness during insertion, but softens at body temperature
  • Power-Trialysis™ Slim-Cath™ Catheter demonstrated ~46% smaller kink diameter than a competitor*


*As demonstrated through simulated testing (n=30). Results may not be indicative of actual clinical performance. Different tests may yield different results.

Utility

  • The third power-injectable lumen is easily identifiable and provides additional access for multiple therapies
  • Multiple insertion lengths of 12.5 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm (lengths vary per catheter configuration)
  • Straight and curved catheter configurations
  • Standard kit and full max barrier tray options. 13 Fr Power-Trialysis™ Slim-Cath™

Reliability

  • Demonstrated a reliable flow rate up to 400 mL/min and recirculation of 2% on average through simulated testing*
  • Enables clinicians to facilitate compliance with federal regulations and guidelines
     

*As demonstrated through simulated testing. Results may not be indicative of actual clinical performance. Different tests may yield different results.

Additional features

  • Third purple lumen provides intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media and central venous pressure monitoring
  • Clamps indicate priming volumes
  • Rotatable suture wing for catheter adjustments
  • Depth markings facilitate insertion of catheter to desired depth
  • Oval catheter shaft designed for kink resistance
  • Catheter shaft comprised of thermosensitive polyurethane, which softens at body temperature, but still provides stiffness during insertion

Frequently Asked Questions

A surgical gown.

Contrast-induced nephropathy is most commonly defined as acute renal failure occurring within 48 hours of exposure to intravascular radiographic contrast material that is not attributable to other causes.

The rate of recirculation is less than 2% on average in both the forward and reverse directions, when tested in vitro.1

It comes in both the straight and a curved extension version but not an Alphacurve® catheter.

The connectors for the dialysis lumens (blue and red) are acetal, the power injection lumen connector (purple), and the extension legs are polyurethane. The catheter shaft and tip are made from Thermosensitive Bodysoft polyurethane which softens at body temperature.

Up to 400 mL/min1

No, the BD repair kit is not indicated for the Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath catheter.

Each kit includes an 11–13 Fr. and a 12–14 Fr. Dualator Vessel Dilator. Placers should dilate to the largest portion of each Dualator to allow the catheter to more easily enter the tissue and vessel. Two dilators are provided to progressively widen the insertion site.

The Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath catheter is compatible with the following agents: Povidone iodine, 0.55% sodium hypochlorite solution, chlorhexidine gluconate 4%, chlorhexidine gluconate 2% solution, dilute aqueous sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and bacitracin zinc ointments in petrolatum bases.

The catheter tip must be in the lower superior vena cava for optimal performance. If placed femorally, the catheter tip should be placed in the inferior vena cava to minimize recirculation. Catheters greater than 24 cm are intended for femoral vein insertion. CAUTION: For jugular and subclavian insertion, the catheter tip should not be located in the right atrium. WARNING: Verification of the catheter tip location must be confirmed by x-ray.

The physician will determine this based on the patient needs. The Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath catheter can be used for other therapies concurrent with dialysis The third lumen is completely independent from the two dialysis lumens and is indicated for power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring; and can be used for blood draws and medication delivery without the need for a separate access.

The third lumen should be locked per hospital protocol for central lines. The priming volume is printed on the extension leg and is also available in the instructions for use (IFU).

The largest guidewire that may be used is a 0.035 in (0.89 mm).

The catheter shaft is oval for two reasons. First, the oval shaft improves the catheter’s kink resistance. Second, the oval shape allows for the internal kidney-shaped lumen design which provides high flow rates of 400 mL/min1 The wide axis of the catheter is 15 Fr., while the short axis is 10 Fr. The French size of the catheter is the average of those numbers, 12 Fr.

The main difference is a smaller French size. The Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath catheter is a 12 Fr. and the Power-Trialysis catheter is a 13 Fr.  

The distal (purple) lumen is completely independent from the two dialysis lumens and may be used for intravenous therapy, power injection of contrast media, and central venous pressure monitoring. The distal lumen can also be accessed for blood draws and infusion of medications.

The rate of recirculation is less than 2% on average in both the forward and reverse directions, when tested in vitro.1

The main difference is a smaller French size. The Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath catheter is a 12 Fr. and the Power-Trialysis catheter is a 13 Fr. According to BD's internal market research, some physicians prefered a smaller sized catheter that could still flow at a high rate. A smaller catheter increases our product offering to accommodate varying vascular needs.

This warning was added to ensure a syringe was not used for blood infusions to prevent high pressures. Blood transfusions through a blood pump are allowed.
