Have never come across that myself. Should be
5-French and respectively instead of suspectively like the other poster said. JL4. JR4 catheters?

Could be - sm

another DRC catheter, such as 5-French sheath and 4DRC catheter and 3DRC catheter. If I were 100% sure that "dash" is being dictated, I'd transcribe it like this:

...using 5-French - 4 and 3DRC catheters, respectively.

(I think you heard "suspectively" instead of "respectively" because of the "s" that should be at the end of "catheter.")
