Vascular Access Overview
A decade ago, the Navilyst team invented a groundbreaking vascular access device safety performance feature with our Pressure Activated Safety Valve (PASV®) technology. As Navilyst Medical, we know that this proven valve technology can be essential to compliance with the newest Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals and stricter CMS reimbursement policies governing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) or Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections (CR-BSIs). Our devices are proven to make a difference – and we back that statement with excellent customer support, clinical training and results.

The Xcela® PICC and Xcela® Port are indicated for the power injection of contrast media. Prior to power injection, the CT Tech should ensure that the power injector is programmed appropriately and the contrast is warmed to body temperature.
He/she should inspect the catheter for damage and ensure the catheter is patent by aspirating for blood flashback. The device should also be flushed prior to power injection. Once patency is confirmed, proceed with power injection. It is important to flush the catheter after the power injection as described under “Device Flushing Protocol.”
