Warnings and Precautions

• The i-Port Advance injection port is only sterile and
non-pyrogenic if the insertion device is unopened or
undamaged. Do not use if the package is already open or
is damaged, or if the protective liner has fallen off. Ensure
the sterility by checking the sterile paper and tamper-
proof seal.
• Carefully read through instructions prior to using the
i-Port Advance injection port. Failure to follow instructions
may result in pain or injury.
• If the i-Port Advance injection port is not securely placed
in the inserter with the needle pointing straight ahead
prior to insertion, pain or injury may occur.
• Be sure that the needle guard is removed before
insertion.
Do not use if introducer needle is bent or broken.
•
• Do not inject multiple medications contraindicated for
subcutaneous administration into the same site.
• The i-Port Advance injection port is a one time, single-
patient use device. Reuse of the port may damage the
cannula in the device and increases the risk of the tape
becoming loose. Reuse of the port may result in infection
or site irritation and inaccurate medication delivery.
• Incorrect medication absorption, infection, or site irritation
may result from improper application to the body or
maintenance of the i-Port Advance injection port insertion
site, or both. If the insertion site becomes irritated or
inflamed, remove and discard the device and apply a new
device to a different location on the body.
• The soft cannula may crimp or bend when applying or
while wearing. A crimped or bent cannula may limit or
prevent medication delivery through the i-Port Advance
injection port. You should remove and discard the device
immediately if you suspect a crimped or bent cannula.
Indications that your i-Port Advance injection port has a
crimped or bent cannula include:
- difficulty pressing down on the plunger of the syringe
when injecting
- injected medication escaping from the device onto
the top of the septum
- injected medication leaking onto the skin or
saturating the tape
- moisture present inside the transparent body of the
device
