The University awarded a contract for Xcele with PASV valve and injectable catheter to Navilyst Medical Inc., Marlborough, MA, for an estimated $150,000.

Xcela PASV PICCs are manufactured with a proprietary technology, PASV, which is a Pressure Activated Safety Valve. Xcela PASV PICCs are the only option made of Carbothane which provides a 0.5 gage larger inner lumen to enhance flow performance. The PASV® Valve Technology design automatically resists backflow, reducing blood reflux that could lead to catheter-related complications.

The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the item or service is copyrighted or patented and is not available except from the holder of the copyright or patent.

State Procurement Officer is Shirley Webb.
