Compatibility and Applications
The Smiths Medical 21-4473-24 Power P.A.C. II Venous Low Profile Polyurethane Port Tray is intended for use in appropriate vascular access procedures where an implantable venous port system is clinically indicated. It may be used in hospital departments, interventional radiology suites, oncology care settings, infusion therapy environments, and surgical access procedures where repeated central venous access is required.
This product should be used only with compatible accessories, access needles, flushing protocols, and infusion equipment as directed by facility policy and the product instructions for use. Compatibility should always be confirmed by the healthcare provider before use, particularly when the device is used for infusion therapy, blood draws, medication delivery, or other approved clinical applications.
Usage Guidelines
Use of the Smiths Medical 21-4473-24 tray should be limited to licensed and trained healthcare professionals experienced in venous access device placement and management. Before opening the tray, confirm the product code, size, packaging integrity, expiration date, and clinical suitability for the patient.
Standard sterile technique should be followed throughout preparation, placement, access, and post-procedure handling. The device should be inserted, flushed, accessed, and maintained according to the manufacturer instructions for use, institutional protocol, and applicable clinical standards. Do not use the tray if the sterile barrier is damaged, if components appear compromised, or if the product has expired.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The Smiths Medical 21-4473-24 Power P.A.C. II Venous Low Profile Polyurethane Port Tray is manufactured for professional medical use and should be handled in accordance with applicable healthcare regulations, facility infection control policies, and device-specific instructions. As with all implantable vascular access devices, users should follow current clinical standards for sterile technique, catheter placement, port access, flushing, dressing care, and monitoring for complications.
Healthcare facilities should verify all product labeling, regulatory status, and usage requirements before clinical application. Staff should be trained on device handling, patient assessment, and ongoing maintenance procedures to support safe and effective use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with standard vascular access components sourced individually, the Smiths Medical 21-4473-24 tray provides a more organized and procedure-focused option by combining key components in a single tray format. This can help reduce preparation time, improve inventory consistency, and support a more efficient procedural workflow.
The low profile port design may offer an advantage in cases where patient comfort and reduced prominence under the skin are important. The pre-assembled configuration also helps distinguish this tray from less complete port access kits that may require additional setup or separate component selection before the procedure.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is typically used by interventional radiologists, surgeons, vascular access specialists, oncology teams, infusion therapy clinicians, and hospital procedural staff. It is suited for clinical environments that perform implanted venous port placement for patients requiring repeated or long-term access to the venous system.
Common application scenarios may include oncology treatment support, recurring infusion therapy, medication administration, blood sampling, and other clinician-directed uses where an implantable venous access port is appropriate. Patient selection, placement technique, and ongoing management should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Before use, review the product instructions and confirm that all components are appropriate for the planned procedure. Maintain aseptic technique at every stage, including tray opening, device handling, insertion, access, and dressing application. Proper flushing and locking procedures should be followed according to manufacturer guidance and facility policy.
After placement, the port site should be routinely assessed for signs of infection, swelling, leakage, discomfort, catheter dysfunction, or other complications. Use only compatible non-coring access needles when accessing the implanted port, and follow established protocols for dressing changes, disinfection, flushing intervals, and documentation.
