Description
TipTracker Technology facilitates visual navigation of a PICC as it is threaded through the vasculature. The Stylet is placed inside the PICC and an electromagnetic T-piece is placed on the patient’s sternum. The system uses electromagnetic technology to track the location of the PICC as it approaches the SVC and displays a blue line on the VPS Rhythm screen, illustrating the catheter pathway. The T-piece has a radius of approximately 9" (22 cm) and will identify the Stylet as soon as it appears within that range. As the catheter approaches the heart, electrocardiograph (ECG) waveforms are used to determine final catheter tip location.
For the use of TipTracker Technology, two sterile, single use components are used: a sterile sleeve for the Remote Control and cable and a navigation Stylet, which includes a T-port with side arm. The sterile sleeve provides a means for using the VPS Rhythm Device Remote Control to operate the VPS Rhythm monitor within the sterile field. A non-sterile, single use, T-piece cover is also used. The TipTracker Stylet is designed to be used with PICCs with a minimum inner lumen diameter of 0.018 inch, or catheter sizes from 3-6 French. The Stylet should not be used with silicone catheters.
