DO NOT USE A NEEDLE LONGER THAN
5/16 in. or 8 mm (DO NOT attempt to use a 1/2
in. (12.7 mm) injection needle with the i-port®.
Doing so may damage the device causing
unnecessary punctures of the skin, or tearing or
puncturing of the soft cannula which may result
in unpredictable medication delivery).
DO NOT USE A NEEDLE THICKER THAN
28 GAUGE. Doing so may damage the device
which may result in unpredictable medical
delivery or increased risk of infection.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUSE THE
DEVICE AFTER USE. Properly dispose of the
used i-port® and replace with a new device as
needed.
Inaccurate medication delivery, infection,
and/or site irritation may result from improper
application to the body and/or maintenance of
the i-port® application site.
If the insertion site becomes irritated or inflamed,
remove and discard the i-port® and apply a new
i-port® to a different location on the body.
The device’s soft cannula may crimp or bend
when applying or while wearing the i-port®.
A crimped or bent cannula may limit or prevent
medication delivery through the i-port®. You
should remove and discard any i-port® device
you suspect has a crimped or bent cannula and
apply a new i-port® to a different location on
your body. Indications that your i-port® has a
crimped or bent cannula include:
- Difficulty pressing down on the plunger of a
syringe when injecting
- Injected medication escaping from the device
onto the top of the septum
- Injected medication leaking onto the skin or
saturating the adhesive
- Moisture present within the clear body of the
device
If the adhesive becomes loose or if the soft
cannula becomes fully or partially dislodged
from under the skin, medication delivery may be
limited or prevented. If this occurs, remove and
discard the i-port® and apply a new i-port® to
a different location on the body.
Remove the i-port® and replace with a new
i-port® at a different location on the body
every 72 hours according to Centers for Disease
Control guidelines or per your healthcare
provider’s instructions.
Do not reinsert the insertion needle into the
i-port®. Reinsertion could cause puncturing or
tearing of the soft cannula which would result in
unpredictable medication delivery or injury.
Do not put perfumes or deodorants on the
i-port® as these may affect the integrity of the
device.
This device is sterile and non-pyrogenic unless
package has been opened or damaged. Do not
use device if the package has been opened or
damaged.
Store the i-port® at room temperature.
