You are your patients’ best advocate. With that role comes the opportunity to recommend the appropriate vascular access device–one that suits both their immediate and long-term needs.

What are the Benefits of a PowerFlow™ Port?

The PowerFlow™ Implantable Apheresis IV Port is the first and only high-flow, power-injectable port designed and indicated specifically for therapeutic apheresis.1,2 The PowerFlow™ Port is designed for long device life and maximum flow.

  • Optimized for Long Device Life—Bench tested up to 1,000 accesses3
  • Engineered for Maximum Flow—Large inner diameter polyurethane port catheter
  • Bench Tested for High Flow Performance—Unique design and access delivers flow rates up to 150 mL/min4
  • Designed for Easy Access—Access is performed at a shallow angle by percutaneous insertion of an over-the-needle soft peripheral intravenous catheter

1 Power injectable up to 5 mL/s @ 300 psi
2 As of April 2024
3 After 1000 IV catheter insertions, bench top leak testing was performed both with the device accessed (both 14G and 16G IV catheters tested separately) and with no IV catheter present. Bench testing may not be indicative of actual clinical performance. Different test methods may yield different results. Data on file, BD, Tempe, Arizona.

Simulated testing may not be indicative of actual clinical performance. Changes in blood viscosity, catheter length, and IV type will affect achievable flow rates. Data on file, BD, Tempe, Arizona.

Instruction for use

The PowerFlow™ Implantable Apheresis IV Port is indicated for patient therapies requiring repeated access to the vascular system. The port system can be used for long-term therapeutic apheresis, withdrawal of blood, and infusion of medications, IV fluids, parenteral nutrition solutions, blood and blood products. The PowerFlow™ Implantable Apheresis IV Port is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 mL/s.
