Implanted CVAD care and maintenance

What are the new standards for implanted CVAD care and maintenance? 

i thought the needle changes were now just as needed and flushing at 3 month intervals but don't see documentation for same

Thanks

Please read the 2021 INS SOP

Please read the 2021 INS SOP on Implanted Ports. The usual 7 days to change a port access needle has changed to an unknown issue due to a lack of evidence. Routine access and flushing can be done every 3 months. See details, and ranking of each statement in SOP.
