What is it indicated for?

Johnson & Johnson Medical Intravascular Catheters are designed for single use. A properly placed I.V. catheter provides access to a vein or artery. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. 16 to 24 gauge catheters may be used with power injectors for which the maximum rated pressure is 300 psi.

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