Intended Use
The PowerPort® ClearVUE® Slim Implantable Port with 8F Polyurethane Catheter is intended to be an implanted vascular access device designed to provide long-term, repeated access to the vascular system.
Device Story
Implantable vascular access port; consists of hard plastic port body and 8F polyurethane catheter; attached via catheter lock compression fitting. Triangular body shape; three palpation bumps on septum. Used for long-term, repeated vascular access; infusion of medications, fluids, nutrition, blood products; blood withdrawal. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. For power injection of contrast media, must be accessed with Bard PowerLoc® Safety Infusion Set (SIS). Output is delivery of fluids/medications or withdrawal of blood samples. Benefits include reliable, repeated vascular access for patients requiring frequent therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing performed per 21 CFR 820.30, including MR safety (ASTM F2503, F2052, F2119, F2182, F2213), catheter requirements (ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-3), sterilization (ISO 11135-1), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-7), and bacterial endotoxins (AAMI ST72). Risk management conducted per ISO 14971.
Technological Characteristics
Hard plastic port body; 8F polyurethane catheter; catheter lock compression fitting. Triangular shape with three palpation bumps. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. Complies with ISO 10555-1/3, ISO 10993-1/7, and ASTM standards for MR safety.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring repeated vascular access for infusion of medications, IV fluids, parenteral nutrition, blood products, and blood withdrawal. When used with PowerLoc® Safety Infusion Set, indicated for power injection of contrast media at max rate 5 mL/s.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.

| Device<br>Description | The PowerPort® ClearVUE® Slim with 8F Polyurethane Catheter is a member of<br>the PowerPort® series of power-injectable implanted ports. The subject device<br>consists of a hard plastic port and 8F polyurethane catheter that is attached to<br>the port with a catheter lock compression fitting. The subject device is<br>distinguishable as a member of BAS's power-injectable port series by the<br>triangular body shape and three palpation bumps on the septum. | |
| | PowerPort® implanted ports can be used for routine vascular access using a non-<br>coring access needle. However, for power injection procedures, PowerPort® ports<br>must be accessed with a Bard PowerLoc® Safety Infusion Set (SIS) to create a<br>power-injectable system. | |
| Intended Use | The PowerPort® ClearVUE® Slim Implantable Port with 8F Polyurethane Catheter<br>is intended to be an implanted vascular access device designed to provide long-<br>term, repeated access to the vascular system. | |
| Indications For<br>Use | The PowerPort® ClearVUE® Slim Implantable Port with 8F Polyurethane Catheter<br>is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular<br>system. The port system can be used for infusion of medications, I.V. fluids,<br>parenteral nutrition solutions, blood products, and for the withdrawal of blood<br>samples. When used with a PowerLoc® Safety Infusion Set (SIS), the PowerPort®<br>device is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of<br>contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/s. | |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | Technological characteristics of the PowerPort® ClearVUE® Slim Implantable Port<br>with 8F Polyurethane Catheter are substantially equivalent with respect to basic<br>design and function of the Titanium PowerPort® isp with 8F Polyurethane<br>Catheter. The differences between the two devices do not impact the intended<br>use, and do not raise any new questions regarding safety or efficacy. | |
| Safety &<br>Performance<br>Tests | Verification testing has been performed in accordance with Design Controls per<br>21 CFR §820.30.
