How Supplied - COOK Vital-Port Instrucciones De Uso

5. During the saline flush, observe for swelling or signs of extravasation. Ask the patient if there is any burning, pain or
discomfort.
WARNING: Stop the injection immediately if local pain, swelling or sign of extravasation are noted.
6. Detach the syringe.
7. Warm contrast media to body temperature prior to injection as per the contrast manufacturer's instructions for use.
8. Attach the power injection device to the power-injectable infusion set and ensure that the connection is secure.
9. Check the indicated flow rate for the infusion set and confirm power injection device settings for flow and pressure.

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum flow rate or pressure; doing so may result in septum leakage,
catheter displacement and/or system failure.
10. Instruct the patient to notify staff immediately if there is any pain or a change in feeling occurs during the injection.
11. Complete the power injection study.
12. Disconnect the power injection device.
13. Flush the Vital-Port System with 10 mL of sterile saline using a 10 mL or larger syringe.
14. Establish a heparin lock, clamping while injecting the last of the flush solution.
15. Remove the power injectable infusion set and follow the Instructions for Use for any special needle disposal
considerations.
Power Injection Information
Catheter and Size
9.5 Fr Silicone
7.5 Fr Polyurethane
7.5 Fr Silicone
Note: CT injector pressure should be set at a maximum of 325 psi. Flow rates less than 5 mL/s and/or
lower viscosity contrast will generate lower pressures in the port and catheter.
Catheter length of at least 70 cm used for all testing.
The Vital-Port System testing included 40 power injection cycles using 11.8 cP viscosity media and a
flow rate of 5 mL/s.

DISCONTINUING USE OF THE VITAL-PORT SYSTEM
In vitro testing has shown sealing integrity after 1200 and 2500 punctures for 20 and 22 ga, respectively (400 and 1000
punctures for the Mini). Septum lifetime may vary, depending on clinical use.
It is suggested that the clinician consider removing the Vital-Port System upon completion of treatment.
Upon removal of the Vital-Port System, verify that the catheter lock and reinforcing sleeve are retrieved along with the port
body and total length of the catheter. A post operative x-ray is suggested for verification.
Ports and catheters that are removed because the clinician believes there has been a system malfunction should be
returned to Cook for evaluation. Please contact customer service for a returned goods authorization number and
instructions.
