The following IFU sections are being updated: 1.Warnings: - Avoid pulling the ClotTriever XL Catheter caudal to cranial through upper extremity or jugular vein access. - To prevent advancing clot from veins into heart/pulmonary arteries, ensure that the ClotTriever XL Catheter is slowly retracted distally away from the heart, while maintaining sheath position and visualization under fluoroscopy. -Operation of a thrombectomy catheter may cause embolization of some thrombus and/orthrombotic particulate, physician discretion advised. The potential for extensive and/or difficult to treat pulmonary thromboembolism should be carefully considered when ClotTriever XLCatheter is used to engage and remove thrombus from large vessels such as the inferior venacava (IVC). 2. Prior to Use: -To minimize risk of embolization of blood clots, use of a device that entraps clots is recommended. 3.

Contraindications The existing IFU states: "Not indicated for the removal of predominantly fibrous, firmly adherent, or calcified material." "Review of patient history and pre-procedure imaging may aid in identifying patients with these lesion types. - Contraindicated in patients with suspected tumor thrombus.
