What is it indicated for?

The FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System is indicated for:

* The non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels.

* Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel.

The FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.

Triever Catheters (Triever 16, Triever 20, Triever 20 Curve, and Triever 24) are also intended for use in treating clot in transit in the right atrium but not in conjunction with FlowTriever Catheters.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
