What is it indicated for?

The Arrow® integral catheter is indicated for use in attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis. The integral catheter is inserted percutaneously and is preferentially placed into the internal jugular (IJ) vein. Alternately, this catheter may be inserted into the subclavian vein although the jugular vein is the preferred site. Catheters greater than 40 cm are intended for femoral vein insertion. The integral catheter is intended for use in adult patients.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
