Smart Port® CT-Injectable Port

With vortex technology

AngioDynamics’ Smart Port CT-Injectable Port combines the ability to provide access for power-injected contrast computed tomography (CT) scans with our revolutionary vortex technology – a rounded chamber that has no sludge-harboring corners or dead spaces.

State-of the-art tangential outlets and clear-flow technology set up efficient flushing action to hyper-cleanse the entire chamber, resist sludge build up, and reduce occlusions and infections. This represents a major improvement over conventional port technology in which perpendicular outlets produce chaotic flow and inefficient flushing, and square corners that promote the formation of sludge within dead space.

Designed for extended life, vortex technology provides better patient outcomes, fewer complications, less nursing time and lower expenses than when a conventional port placed.

Features:
  • The ability to provide access for power injected contrast CT scans – maximum setting for power injections is 5 mL/sec
  • Market-leading Vortex® port reservoir – guaranteed for no sludge buildup in port reservoir
  • Lightweight CT injectable port design
  • Fluoromax® 100% silicone radiopaque catheter with an atraumatic radiopaque tip - also available in polyurethane
  • MRI conditional – 3 Tesla
  • Patient education materials include ID card, key
    ring card, patient education guide and patient
    care checklist

 

Important Risk Information

INDICATION FOR USE: The Smart Port CT power injectable port line is indicated for any patient requiring repeated access of the vascular system for delivery of medications, nutritional supplementation, fluids, blood, blood products, sampling of blood and power injection of contrast media for imaging. Smart Port CT model CT50PTPD is indicated for peripheral or chest placement. CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Smart Port CT should not be implanted in the presence of known or suspected infections, bacteremia, septicemia and peritonitis, or in patients who have exhibited prior intolerance to the materials of construction, or patients whose body size or tissue is insufficient to accommodate the size of the port or catheter. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Please see package insert for complete list of warnings and precautions. POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS: Possible complications and risks include, but are not limited to those normally associated with local or general anesthesia, interventional surgery and post surgery recovery.
