I wonder how practical it is to have one particular brand of port that is approved for power injection. Since the port is implanted underneath the skin, clinicians will not be able to identify the brand unless there is 'official documentation' with the patient all the time. So it means when a patient comes in with a port, we can not take the patient's word for it (or even the MD?) do patients always carry the port ID card with them? In reality, I don't think so. and even if the port is confirmed as suitable for power injection, but a facility does not have a specific P&P, will you connect the power injector to the port?
