Power Injection Procedure

Verify the implanted port is a power injection rated port.

Access the port with the EZ Huber. Make certain that needle tip is inserted fully within the port. Note: Follow institutional protocol to verify correct catheter tip position prior to power injection.

Attach a syringe filled with sterile normal saline.

Instruct the patient to assume the position they will be in during the power injection procedure, before checking for patency. If possible, the patient should receive power injection with his or her arm vertically above the shoulder with the palm of the hand on the face of the gantry during injection. This allows for uninterrupted passage of injected contrast through the axillary and subclavian veins at the thoracic outlet.

Aspirate for adequate blood return and vigorously flush the port with at least 10 ml of sterile normal saline. Warning: Failure to ensure patency of the catheter prior to power injection studies may result in port system failure.

Detach syringe.

Warm contrast media to body temperature.

Attach the power injection device to the EZ Huber ensuring connection is secured. Check indicated flow rate of safety infusion set and confirm CT settings.

Instruct the patient to communicate immediately any pain or change in feeling during the injection.

Inject warmed contrast, taking care not to exceed the flow rate limits. Warning: If local pain, swelling or signs of extravasation are noted, the injection should be stopped immediately. Warning: Exceeding the maximum flow rate may result in the EZ Huber failure, implanted port failure and/or catheter tip displacement.

Disconnect the power injection device.

Flush the EZ Huber with 10 ml of sterile normal saline.

Perform heparin lock procedure. Note: Some patients are hypersensitive to heparin or suffer heparin induced thrombocytope. These patients must not have their port primed with heparinized saline.

After therapy completion, flush port per institutional protocol. Close clamp while injecting last 0.5 ml of flush solution.

Stabilize port by placing two fingers on the base of the EZ Huber Safety Infusion Set.

Withdraw the needle by pulling up on the wings of the EZ Huber.

The needle will slide past the safety housing. Once the needle passes the safety housing, the safety clip will snap over the needle access hole. An audible click sound will be heard indicating that the safety clip has blocked the needle access hole. The safety clip prevents the needle from advancing past the safety housing.

Dispose of the EZ Huber Safety Infusion Set per institution protocol. Warning: Do not exceed a 300 psi, or the maximum flow rate shown below, on the power injection machine if power injecting through the EZ Huber.
