TITAN port catheter systems A/V ensure repeated access to the central venous vascular system for the following applications, e.g.:

• for long-term treatment of cytostatics agents and other “aggressive” medications
• patients with poor peripheral veins requiring frequent intravenous injections
• for infusion therapy
• for parenteral nutrition
• in HIV patients
• for venous blood sampling 
• for blood transfusion
• for high-pressure injections (systems marked accordingly are also suitable for high-pressure injection)

The advantage is a low risk of infection, simplified access and considerably improved quality of life for the patient as provided by a closed system.

Patient group: Patients in need of long-term central venous access to the vascular system.

Operators: Medical professionals (doctors, nurses) with appropriate qualifications

Intended purpose:
The port catheter system is only used to pass blood and medication into or out of the patient’s vascular system. The product itself thus fulfils a physical property and has no medical, therapeutic effect.

Suitable for high pressure contrast injection – 300 psi/21 bar up to 5.2 ml/sec
High pressure injections with contrast medium via port catheter systems

Only special non- coring port needles (e.g., SFN® port needles or other suitable port needles)
should be used to puncture the port membrane. These needles exhibit a unique
bevel at the tip. 20 Gauge is recommended for standard use.

The use of special port needle prevents that holes or silicone particle are
punched out, which could proceed into the bloodstream or plug the system.
Each system contains a suitable needle.

Blood Transfusion

For blood transfusions, use 18 or 19 gauge needles if possible! Afterwards, the system must be rinsed immediately with at least 20 – 50 ml of 0.9 % saline. Thereby, the needle should be rotated to ensure an even rinsing of the chambers.
