SecurePortIV In Service Guide PIV

The guide for the device details how the adhesive should be applied immediately after insertion of a peripheral IV catheter (PIV): a thin layer is placed over the catheter insertion site and under the hub or along the exposed catheter segment, forming a secure bond that immobilises the catheter, helps achieve haemostasis, and seals the skin interface; the dressing is then applied according to facility protocol. The document emphasises that the product is intended for trained healthcare professionals, must be used in conjunction with standard aseptic insertion and maintenance procedures, and is cleared for use in all patient populations including neonates. It also underscores that the adhesive forms a transparent film allowing continuous visual inspection of the site, and that proper application reduces catheter movement, dressing disruption, and supports overall vascular access stability.
