* Contact inhibition of microbial growth on surface of catheters. Effective against organisms commonly associated with nosocomial infection, e.g., S. epidermidis.
** Vantex catheters contain an integrated Oligon antimicrobial material. The activity of the antimicrobial material is localized at the catheter surfaces and is not intended for
treatment of systemic infections. In vitro testing demonstrated that the Oligon material provided broad-spectrum effectiveness (≥ 3 log reduction from initial concentration within 48
hours) against the organisms tested: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Serratia
marcescens, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Enterobacter aerogenes, GMRSa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida glabrata and VRE (Enterococcus
faecium)† Decreases viable microbe count on surface of product during handling and placement.
† Significant antimicrobial activity associated with AMC THROMBOSHIELD has been demonstrated using in vitro agar diffusion assays against the following organisms: Staphylococcus
epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus.
