Figure 4: The Intraperitoneal Catheter and Side Port
The Catheter side port is intended to provide access to the Catheter and
Pump outlet, in order to perform the non-surgical interventions and diag-
nostic procedures described in Appendices E, F and G. The side port
allows for the introduction of a needle and small syringe to clear Catheter
obstructions using pressures up to 100 psi. It also allows for the introduc-
tion of a needle to verify Pump stroke volume and permit non-surgical
diagnoses of Catheter blockages by direct pressure measurement.
