PASV Valve Technologyin Vaxcel PICCs

Product catalog summary

Overview of PASV Valve Technology: The PASV® Valve Technology is integrated into Vaxcel® Implantable Ports to enhance clinical and economic outcomes. It features a proximally located, direction-specific valve designed to resist backflow and maintain patency between uses.

Advantages and Benefits: The technology significantly reduces complications such as inadequate blood draws and occlusions. It also offers cost savings in port maintenance and access time, offsetting acquisition costs compared to non-valved ports.

Design Features: The Vaxcel ports include a twist-on locking collar for secure catheter attachment, a low-profile design for cosmetic appeal, and an enhanced target area for ease of use. The PASV valve remains closed during normal pressure fluctuations, opens for sampling, and closes after infusion or disconnection.

Clinical Outcomes: Clinical studies demonstrate a 47% reduction in inadequate blood draws, a 51% reduction in nursing troubleshooting time, and a 35% reduction in tPA usage. These improvements lead to decreased costs and reduced complications.

Ordering Information: The document provides detailed ordering information for various models of Vaxcel Implantable Ports with PASV Valve Technology, including specifications for materials, dimensions, and included accessories.

Indications and Contraindications: The ports are intended for long-term vascular access for administering IV fluids, blood products, medications, and parenteral nutrition solutions, as well as for blood withdrawal. Contraindications include infections, severe lung disease, previous venous thrombosis, and anatomical constraints.

Technical Support: Navilyst Medical offers 24-hour technical support for their vascular access products.
