a month agoI have been taking Optiva for 5 years. Infusion every 30 days using a Smart Port. I'm no off of the monthly infusions taking a break as my oncologist said. I'm using the port for the contrast infusions. Does anyone know if there is a maximum that a Smart Port can be used???

a month agoWhile Smart Ports don't have a specific maximum number of uses, their lifespan depends on factors like maintenance, usage frequency, and individual circumstances. It's great that you're able to use yours for contrast infusions during your treatment break - many patients find having reliable vascular access helpful for ongoing monitoring and care.
