2. FDA cleared 510(k) POWERWAND has shown in vivo to be thromboresistant with respect to both thrombus on the surface of the catheter and thrombus on the wall of the vein, based upon 72-hour canine jugular vein thromboresistance studies, This pre-clinical in vivo evaluation does not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation.
