Injecting into the Side Catheter Access Port

NOTE: Refer to the instructions in the appropriate catheter access port
kit for the complete side catheter access port procedures.
In intraspinal applications a significant amount of drug may be
present in the catheter and side catheter access port. Caution
must be used to prevent drug overdose during access to and
injection through the side catheter access port. Improper
injection through the side catheter access port or into the pump
pocket may result in a clinically significant or fatal drug
overdose. Refer to "Appendix C: Emergency Procedures" in this
manual or the appropriate drug labeling for specific drug
overdose symptoms and methods of management. To prevent
overdose when injecting through the side catheter access port of
the pump:
• identify location of the center reservoir fill port and side
catheter access port,
• use the templates, instructions, and other accessories
provided with the Medtronic Catheter Access Port Kit,
• use 3.81 cm (minimum), 25-gauge needle, and
• use other medical procedures as appropriate (e.g.,
fluoroscopy, glucose check of the aspirate) to verify
location of the side catheter access port septum.
• Refer to the appropriate drug labeling for indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions, adverse events,
dosage and administration information and screening
procedures.
It is imperative to follow aseptic technique throughout the procedure to maintain
sterility of the side catheter access port, fluid pathway, and device pocket.
CAUTION: The side catheter access port does not contain a bacterial filter.
