Usage Guidelines

This product should be used only by qualified clinicians trained in implantable port placement and vascular access procedures. Before use, inspect the package integrity, confirm product size and configuration, and verify that all required tray components are available. Follow the manufacturers instructions for preparation, placement, flushing, securement, and post-procedure care.

Clinicians should use aseptic technique throughout the procedure and follow institutional protocols for vascular access device insertion, catheter positioning, and infection prevention.

Certifications and Safety Standards

Smiths Medical vascular access products are manufactured for professional healthcare use and should be handled according to applicable medical device regulations, institutional standards, and manufacturer guidance. The Smiths Medical 21-4573-24 Port-A-Cath tray should be used only for its intended clinical purpose and in accordance with the instructions supplied with the product packaging.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with standard profile implantable port systems, the Smiths Medical 21-4573-24 Port-A-Cath tray offers an ultra low profile titanium port design that may be preferred when a smaller implant profile is clinically desirable. The titanium construction provides a strong and durable port body, while the silicone catheter supports flexibility for vascular access applications.

Unlike basic port kits that may require additional procedural components to be sourced separately, this tray includes several key access accessories, helping streamline preparation for clinicians and procurement teams. The unassembled configuration also gives trained professionals flexibility during procedural setup compared with fully preassembled systems.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This product is typically used by vascular access specialists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, oncology clinicians, infusion therapy teams, and hospital procedure departments. It may be selected for patients requiring reliable long-term venous access under the supervision of a qualified medical professional.

Common clinical scenarios may include infusion therapy programs, oncology treatment pathways, long-term medication administration, and recurring vascular access needs where an implantable port is considered appropriate by the treating provider.
