Identification will be an issue. But there are ideas from different companies that are incredibly exciting and beyond what many of us might have dreamed.
Look for really novel and creative solutions to this problem which do not require an ID card, etc. Stay tuned...the engineers may really hit this one out of the park! >>> "Anna Liang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/19/06 1:44 PM >>> 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? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Bard is developing a port which can be used for > power injections from what I > have been told. > We are hoping it gets FDA approval before our March > meeting here so it can > be show-cased > during the vendor portion of the meeting.
