Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 - Power PAC System with SafeSheath Valved Peel-Away Introducer, Dual-Lumen, Low Profile Portal, 7FR, 2.2mm, 76cm, Wing-Lock
The Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 Power PAC System is a dual-lumen implantable vascular access portal designed for clinicians who require reliable long-term venous access in oncology, infusion therapy, medication administration, blood sampling, and contrast-compatible care environments. This system includes a SafeSheath Valved Peel-Away Introducer, a low profile portal, 7FR catheter sizing, 2.2mm catheter diameter, 76cm catheter length, and Wing-Lock stabilization features to support secure placement and clinical efficiency.
Built for dependable vascular access management, the Power PAC System supports repeated access while helping reduce the need for frequent peripheral venipuncture. Its dual-lumen configuration allows healthcare teams to manage multiple compatible therapies through one implanted access system, making it suitable for high-demand infusion protocols where safety, consistency, and workflow efficiency are essential.
Key Benefits
The dual-lumen design supports separate access pathways for compatible infusion therapy, medication delivery, blood draws, and treatment protocols that require increased clinical flexibility.
The low profile portal design helps support patient comfort after implantation and may be preferred in cases where a less prominent implanted access device is desired.
The SafeSheath Valved Peel-Away Introducer is designed to assist with controlled catheter placement while supporting procedural efficiency during vascular access implantation.
The 7FR catheter size, 2.2mm diameter, and 76cm length provide a practical configuration for long-term central venous access applications.
The Wing-Lock feature supports secure catheter stabilization during placement, helping promote proper positioning and procedural confidence.
The Power PAC platform is commonly selected for care settings requiring durable, long-term vascular access with compatibility for power injection protocols when used according to approved clinical instructions.
Compatibility and Applications
The Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 Power PAC System is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in clinical environments where implantable vascular access is medically indicated. Typical applications include chemotherapy administration, long-term IV therapy, antimicrobial therapy, parenteral nutrition, blood sampling, hydration therapy, and contrast-enhanced imaging procedures when the device is used within approved specifications.
The dual-lumen configuration is especially useful in treatment plans where clinicians need separate infusion pathways for compatible therapies. It may be used in hospitals, infusion centers, oncology departments, outpatient surgery centers, interventional radiology suites, and specialty vascular access programs.
Compatibility should always be confirmed with the facility protocol, prescribing clinician instructions, device labeling, and any applicable institutional policies before use. The product should only be accessed with appropriate non-coring needles and compatible accessories as directed by clinical guidelines and manufacturer instructions.
Usage Guidelines
The Power PAC System must be implanted, accessed, maintained, and removed only by qualified healthcare professionals trained in implantable vascular access procedures. Proper aseptic technique should be used throughout placement, access, flushing, dressing, and maintenance activities.
Before implantation, clinicians should review the full product labeling, confirm catheter size and length suitability, assess patient anatomy, and verify the intended therapy requirements. During placement, imaging guidance and institutional vascular access protocols should be followed to support accurate catheter positioning.
After implantation, the portal should be accessed only with appropriate non-coring access needles. Flushing, locking, and dressing changes should follow the facilitys central venous access policy and the manufacturers instructions for use. The device should not be used for any procedure or infusion outside approved indications.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Smiths Medical vascular access products are developed for professional clinical use and are expected to meet applicable medical device quality, sterility, packaging, and performance standards for the intended market. The Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 Power PAC System should be used only as supplied and only when packaging is intact, sterile, and within the labeled expiration date.
Healthcare facilities should verify all regulatory status, device labeling, and procurement requirements before purchase and use. Sterility, single-use components, procedural compatibility, and safety warnings must be reviewed before the system is introduced into patient care.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with standard single-lumen implantable ports, the Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 Power PAC System provides the benefit of dual-lumen access, allowing clinicians greater flexibility for complex infusion plans and compatible multi-therapy management.
Compared with higher profile vascular access portals, the low profile design may offer a more discreet implanted option while still supporting the functionality required for long-term central venous access. The included SafeSheath Valved Peel-Away Introducer and Wing-Lock features also help distinguish this system from basic port kits that may require additional procedural components or offer fewer placement support features.
For healthcare teams comparing implantable port systems, the Power PAC platform offers a strong balance of access flexibility, procedural support, patient-focused profile design, and dependable performance for advanced vascular access applications.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is typically used by interventional radiologists, surgeons, vascular access specialists, oncology clinicians, infusion nurses, and hospital-based procedural teams. It is selected for patients who require long-term venous access for recurring therapies, frequent blood draws, or treatment plans that may be difficult to manage through repeated peripheral IV placement.
Common clinical scenarios include oncology treatment, long-term antimicrobial therapy, infusion center care, chronic therapy management, and patients requiring reliable central venous access for medically supervised treatment plans. The dual-lumen configuration may be especially helpful when therapy schedules require separate access channels for compatible clinical use.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Inspect packaging carefully before use and do not use the product if the sterile barrier is damaged, opened, or compromised. Confirm the correct product code, size, catheter length, and lumen configuration before the procedure begins.
Follow strict sterile technique during implantation and access. Confirm catheter tip placement according to institutional standards before initiating therapy. Use only compatible non-coring needles when accessing the portal, and follow approved flushing and locking protocols to support patency.
Monitor the port site regularly for signs of infection, swelling, leakage, pain, skin changes, or access difficulty. Any suspected complication should be evaluated promptly by qualified clinical personnel. Maintenance intervals, dressing care, and flushing schedules should align with manufacturer guidance and facility policy.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The Smiths Medical 21-8469-24 Power PAC System is a professional medical device intended for use under the direction of licensed healthcare providers. It is not intended for consumer self-placement, self-diagnosis, or unsupervised use.
Clinical teams should review the full instructions for use, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and procedural requirements before implantation or access. Improper placement, incorrect access technique, incompatible infusion practices, or failure to maintain the system according to protocol may increase the risk of complications.
Use should comply with applicable federal, state, facility, and clinical standards for implantable vascular access devices. Product availability, regulatory status, and purchasing requirements may vary by jurisdiction and healthcare setting.
