Intended Use
A P.A.S. PORT® system is indicated when patient therapy requires repeated venous access for injection or infusion therapy and/or venous blood sampling.
Device Story
P.A.S. PORT® Elite is a subcutaneously implanted venous access system; provides repeated access to vascular system for infusion of medications, parenteral nutrition, blood products, or blood sampling. System consists of a portal housing, silicone septum, and polyurethane catheter. Device implanted subcutaneously by physician; accessed percutaneously via needle through septum. Modifications from previous P.A.S. PORT include altered portal shape, increased septum diameter, and use of acetal and titanium housing materials. Device facilitates long-term venous access, reducing need for repeated venipuncture; benefits patient by providing reliable, repeatable access point for therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing including in-vitro functional testing (septum puncture, system leakage, clearance) per FDA guidance and biocompatibility testing of system components.
Indicated for patients requiring repeated venous access for injection, infusion therapy, or venous blood sampling.
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.

# SUMMARY OF STUDIES V.
#### Functional Testing A.
In-vitro testing was conducted in accordance with the FDA "Guidance on 510(k) Submissions for Implanted Infusion Ports," dated October 1990. The testing included septum puncture, system leakage and clearance testing.
Biocompatibility testing was conducted on system components.
### B. Clinical Studies
Clinical studies were not deemed necessary regarding the P.A.S. PORT® Elite Implantable Venous Access System due to its similarity in materials, design and function to current SIMS Deltec systems and other commercially available systems.
### C. Conclusions Drawn from the Studies
The results of the testing indicated that the P.A.S. PORT® Elite Implantable Venous Access System functions according to specification and the materials used in the system are biocompatible. Therefore, the system is considered acceptable for human use.
